Chollet:当前AI模型有意识的说法荒谬
Francois Chollet 称当前模型具有意识的想法荒谬且冒犯,信息处理能力与感知力完全无关。他指出,具备某领域的信息处理"回路"(无论通过训练还是硬编码)不会产生 qualia、主观体验、情感或痛苦,就像计算器不会"感受"算术。当前 AI 模型本质上是通过梯度下降在众多领域刻画出大量能力回路的计算器。
Side note. The idea that current models are conscious is absurd and downright offensive. Do not confuse competent information processing and sentience, they are wholly unrelated.
You can be entirely incompetent at everything yet fully conscious, like a toddler, or extraordinarily competent in one or more domains with absolutely zero consciousness, like a calculator, a chess engine, a self-driving car, or an AI chatbot.
Possessing the "circuits" for competent information processing in a given domain, whether through training or hardcoding, does not produce qualia, subjective experience, emotions, or suffering. Calculators do not "feel" arithmetic and they don't get tired or annoyed when you give them larger numbers to process. To argue otherwise is ontologically absurd. Current AI models are effectively calculators scaled to a very large number of competence circuits across many domains, etched via gradient descent.
