I've had a profound realization playing with #GPT3.
The vast majority of people are basically running #GPT3. They speak, they utter sentences, but they mostly copy what other people say & have very little critical thinking. But they're good at babbling.
Most people are NPCs.

Yes, a big issue with arguments about "is GPT3 conscious/sentient" is that it glosses over "are most people conscious/sentient"

This is why the Turing test does not really test for artificial intelligence. A true test for AI would look more like the slave part of Plato's Meno dialogue. Can an AI synthesize a solution concept to a novel problem without being told the answer?

The Turing test isn't a well conceived test. Why would evolution leave humans with the ability to distinguish between the input of a human and a computer program through text alone? There's no analogous problem in nature.

The analogous problem in nature is talking to other humans. If a computer is sufficiently good at imitating humans, it will pass the harder versions of the Turing test.

"Hmm, something seems off about Grug today; think maybe he's been replaced by something that speaks but doesn't think" In the evolutionary past, if someone is speaking to you you're not evaluating if he's a person; that assumption is baked inpic.twitter.com/iyhIMtdRhW

If a man is speaking with unfamiliar intonations he's likely from far away and not near kin; kill him, take his stuff. If a woman is alone and not part of the tribe she can be allocated to a tribesman as a wife so the men don't fight over her.
