I said from the beginning that we will get "real" AI when people start treating it as conscious, not when someone will prove that it is. Technical arguments have no place here. We can all know that the AI girlfriend is just a really good text prediction model but if society accepts it as real person it will be treated as such and granted rights. Similar thing happened to animals.

    Animals are alive and sentient, and "AI" is not.

    ...and trying to equate living, brething, thinking creatures to an algorithm is fucking stupid?

    Sorry, ran out of politeness.

    Yes, and? If you think people don't do stupid things every single day go outside and look around.

    You're right: I'm seeing it right now as a matter of fact!

    I will help you out here... When people say "I think X will happen" it's not the same as saying "I want X to happen" or "I think X should happen". I know the difference can be hard to grasp sometimes.

    To make it clear... I don't think AI should be treated like it's conscious but I think people are stupid enough to do it. This announcement from Anthropic shows that general perception is slowly moving in that direction. What seemed crazy two years ago is now being circulated like a valid idea. Get it now?
