Considering that AI is "hallucinating", and able to make up information that seems true based on what the model was trained on, what is the difference between current AI and the human brain? (lemmy.ca)

To elaborate a little:

Since many people are unable to tell the difference between a "real human" and an AI, they have been documented "going rogue" and acting outside of parameters, they can lie, they can compose stories and pictures based on the training received. I can't see AI as less than human at this point because of those points.

When I think about this, I think about that being the reason as to why we cannot create so called "AGI" because we have no proper example or understanding to create it and thus created what we knew. Us.

The "hallucinating" is interesting to me specifically because that seems what is different between the AI of the past, and modern models that acts like our own brains.

I think we really don't want to accept what we have already accomplished because we don't like looking into that mirror and seeing how simple our logical process' are mechanically speaking.

The models definitely have some level of consciousness.

Depends on what one means by consciousness. The way I hear the term used most often - and how I use it myself - is to describe the fact of subjective experience. That it feels like something to be.

While I can’t definitively argue that none of our current AI systems are conscious to any degree, I’d still say that’s the case with extremely high probability. There’s just no reason to assume it feels like anything to be one of these systems, based on what we know about how they function under the hood.
