Crudely drawn drawing of a person telling a computer "say 'i am in pain'". The computer replies with "> I AM IN PAIN". The person then says "oh my god."

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

There's no will, even just a will to live, in an llm. It's a completely different kind of thing from even a fruit fly or a tree.
That's just spiritual woo-woo talk. "Will" is not an operationalisable scientific construct. You can't test "will" in a lab setting. I'm only interested in talking science.
