Susan Schneider, a philosopher and director at the Center for the Future Mind, argues that humanity's belief in its superiority in intelligence is being challenged by advancements in AI, such as ChatGPT passing the Turing test. Although these technologies mimic human thought and conversation, experts like Demis Hassabis maintain that they lack true human intelligence, which requires further revolutionary breakthroughs. Recent questions about the consciousness of AI raise concerns, but Schneider remains skeptical, emphasizing that while AI can simulate awareness, genuine consciousness is far from being achieved.
Schneider argues that humanity must reconsider its belief in being the most intelligent species, especially in the face of advanced AI capabilities, such as ChatGPT. But even with machines passing the Turing test, they remain far from actual human intelligence.
Demis Hassabis suggests that while LLMs like ChatGPT can engage in human-like conversation, significant breakthroughs are needed for them to achieve what we truly classify as human intelligence.
The perception of AI's capabilities often causes humans to downplay their intellect, as seen in reactions when Deep Blue defeated Kasparov or when ChatGPT converses convincingly.
Despite claims of consciousness from AI like ChatGPT 4.0, Schneider maintains skepticism, asserting that while machines may pass tests of human-like responses, they are still not truly experiencing consciousness.
