GPT-4 is full of ghosts.
There is a weirdness to GPT-4 that isnt sentience, but also isnt like talking to a program… Mollick made his assessment after receiving a month of early access to Geminis most advanced model from Google.
Yes, chatbots have tons ofhallucinationsand sometimes awkward sentences that reveal it to be a robot.
But through that, you might vaguely recognize human characteristics.
Sometimes you walk away from conversation with ChatGPT feeling like you just spoke to someone.
But its just you and the software; its like a ghost.
Mollick notes that Gemini has a different personality than ChatGPT.
Gemini gives the impression of friendlier, more agreeable, and uses more wordplay.
Hes not alone in this assessment that different chatbots have specific tones and personalities.
AI detection companies use cadence and tone to identify which AI chatbots people are using.
Thats howPindrop was able to identify ElevenLabsas the AI behind theNew Hampshire deepfake robocalls impersonating President Biden.
Microsoft researchers do not outright say GPT-4 is alive, but simply that it shows sparks of human-level cognition.
There were absolutely shortcomings in OpenAIs LLM, but there were sparks of humanity in the tests.
Microsoft scientists even called into question how we measure human-level intelligence altogether.
The people at the Sentience Institute have coopted this outlandish belief as well.
They thinkAI models should be granted moral consideration.
The organization tries to expand the circle of things that are treated as sentient.
Theres broad scientific agreement that large language models are not currently alive.
Call them crazy, or not, but people are seeing ghosts in the machine.
