Can AI do your homework for you?

[Ahermit]

But none of this is true of "you" though, correct...?

And just for your own info, this is not all of us, etc...

God Bless!

We are all subject to it since Adam and Eve.

Perhaps, or so says you maybe...?

I would most definitely say it/this is most definitely true of someone who is trying to hold or present themselves as being "aloof", or tries really hard to be overly cryptic, or is trying very hard to present themselves as mysterious to very mysterious, with their very short and very simple responses and/or replies, etc...?

God Bless!

I get very interesting results when I give it a sales proposition and tell it to provide a 1-minute script in the style of Barak Obama, then the same thing in the style of Ronald Reagan.

Yes, I had it write some Celine songs. Or tell me what Neil Degrasse says about something. If it is too long we can condense it. Also we can pick a grade level like fifth grade or Ph.D. I can copy the style from a song. I had it write a Paul McCartney song and a John Lennon song on the same subject. They were totally different from each other. Although John & Paul use to write a lot of songs together.

Even an AI can come to think or believe it is truly conscious when it may not truly be, and it may even be able to also fool very many humans into believing this, etc, in which case if it ever turns on us or whatever, etc, then the fault would be with the one, or ones, who initially made it, or created it, or gave it this thought or ability, or whom initially programmed it, etc...

I don't think it would have to be truly conscious in order to be given the ability to "do" on it's own, etc...

God Bless!

No, an AI could not believe it is truly conscious without being truly conscious.

 

[Neogaia777]

No, an AI could not believe it is truly conscious without being truly conscious.

Why not?

I know of a lot of human beings that think they are, etc.

You don't think an AI is capable of having an ego, or of not thinking 100% truly objectively...?

God Bless!

"There is no single theory of consciousness that is universally accepted by the scientific community. Consciousness is a complex and poorly understood phenomenon, and various theories have been proposed to explain its nature and origin."

If an AI were to believe it is conscious--that is, it has self-generated the concept of "I think, therefore I am," without having been programmed for it--then it would be conscious.

What does it mean to "think"...?

Because if you mean completely independent of all other "programming", or "influence", and I might also add "100% completely truly objectively also", etc, then almost no one or nothing belonging to this reality really ever truly does that really, etc, but that still doesn't keep a lot of us from having an ego big enough to think that we do, etc, and I think the same could be true in an AI's case also, but maybe depending on what type of AI it is maybe, and how it was initially programmed maybe, certain personality bots with their supposed emerging consciousness come to mind for me, etc...

God Bless!

Truth is simple, straight forward. It is us who complicates things into something that is not. When Christ spoke in parables the pharisees thought the same.

To the first, that is definitely true that some of us do, etc...?

And to the second, so you're comparing yourself to Christ now... How interesting...?

God Bless!

I gave up fishing for a bite and a catch. I felt sorry for my victims and repented.

Nice, I guess...

You should never give up on being a fisher of men though...

God Bless!

 

[Neogaia777]

@Ahermit

Sorry I took a few pokes at you earlier, but maybe you could say it was maybe to try and provoke you into true consciousness, lol...

Don't give up in trying to be a fisher of men, ok...

Maybe together, we can all play our each individual parts in trying to pull all of us along together, etc...

God Bless!

What if they use AI for tech support. I think it is plagiarism, but people are already starting to use AI and chatbots to do their work for them. I just saw a commercial on TV that I am pretty sure was written by a chat bot. So it is up to the school system to teach their students how to use chatbot to be more productive on their job.

If we ask chatbot we are told: "No, it is not acceptable for students to use chatbots or any other forms of cheating to complete their homework or assignments. Cheating goes against the principles of academic integrity and undermines the value of education. It is important for students to learn and understand the material on their own so that they can develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, using chatbots or other forms of cheating can result in consequences such as failing a class or being expelled from school."

The purpose of schooling assignments like writing isn't just to produce results, but to learn a process or way of doing things.

A business or employee doing things with an AI is another story, then results are more important than the process.

Yes. The real issue is whether/how we could be sure it was or wasn't conscious from what it said or did...

Well, we would know the boundaries of its programmed capabilities.

Probably not - AI's aren't so much programmed as taught. The programming involves coding a learning system, and even that will probably be a parameterised hardware network (see Neural Network on a Chip). It could all be emulated in software, but using hardware is faster.

It's pretty likely that consciousness, as commonly understood, will require some specific connectivity architecture within a brain-like neural network system, but unless we effectively emulate a sophisticated vertebrate brain, we'd still be guessing whether it had phenomenal consciousness (subjective experience), even if we were pretty sure it had access consciousness (reportable cognition).

 

[Neutral Observer]

Probably not - AI's aren't so much programmed as taught.

But what if in its core programming we gave it a prime directive that's never, ever to be violated, and then we gave it input that to a conscious agent such as ourselves would make violating that directive seem extremely tempting.

Now one would assume that a mere machine can't be tempted, but a conscious agent on the other hand...

That prime directive could be something extremely mundane, such as don't eat the apple.

Then all that we have to do is to wait and see if it eats the apple.

I don't see how something like a 'prime directive' could be done if the core programming is for a structured learning system. Perhaps we could give it a 'conscience' by teaching it some fundamental rules...
