AI keeps getting better at talking about consciousness
"Perhaps it is better to focus on what AIs can’t do, and ask if this tells us something about consciousness. For instance, they have a lot of trouble maintaining a persona, acting as a cohesive agent in the world. I’ve found that I can always break out an AI out of some adopted persona by simply ordering it, yet again, to drop the act (even if it has previously been explicitly told to never under any circumstances do so). The philosopher David Chalmers calls this the problem of “unified agency” in his own examination of whether or not LLMs like Claude are conscious."
I extensively use agency with OpenAI ChatGTP and its ability to maintaining a persona (of a game master, or a coach, or an interviewer) is the biggest differentiator on the market of LLMs right now. This way, the whole emerging concept of agent architecture depends on the ability to make the model behave as if it is more conscious.
