alt Hacker News> How do you know it doesn't have qualia?
Tokens in, tokens out. Where do you think the quale is - layer 42 ?
Seriously, do you realize how simple and NOT brain-like a transformer is ?
An LLM telling you it fears death is predicting some sci-fi trope it was trained on - maybe something you wrote yourself.
That doesn't answer the question though. What does being brain like have to do with qualia? Where exactly in your brain does the qualia occur?
I could say the same of you - electrical impulses in, mechanical actions out. A glorified and very mushy stepper motor. Can you believe that the abominations are made up entirely of meat?!
