    Questions like these are really interesting. Unfortunately, they are shot down immediately on Lemmy, which is pretty disappointing.

    It’s just because AI stuff is overhyped pretty much everywhere as a panacea to solve all capitalist ails. Seems every other article, no matter the subject or demographic, is about how AI is changing/ruining it.

    I do think that grappling with the idea of consciousness is a necessary component of the human experience, and AI is another way for us to continue figuring out what it means to be conscious, self-aware, or a free agent. I also agree that it’s interesting to try to break AI and push it to its limits, but then, breaking software is in my professional interests!

      Agreed :(

      You know what’s sad? Communities that look at this from a neutral, objective position (while still being fun) exist on Reddit. I really don’t want to keep using it though. But I see nothing like that on Lemmy.

        Lemmy is still in its infancy, and we’re the early adopters. It will come into its own in due time, just like Reddit did.
