In Skeptiko 632, we explore the AI feedback loop and how some pretty simple advancements in AI prompt engineering have increased our ability to squeeze the truth out of LLMs. In a not-so-roundabout way, this discussion about AI truth and related thrashing around AI ethics and super AGI come down to “nature of consciousness” questions. So that’s what we revisited.
I had the AI/LLM Pi face off with Lex Fridman and some of the AI luminaries he has interviewed on the topic. As you will see, Pi did a deep dive into some critical logical fallacies. The debate became lopsided when Dr. Jeffrey Long entered the conversation with a discussion about near-death experience science. Pi’s “thinking” showed how these dismissed-as-philosophical issues offer real empirical evidence that must be considered if we’re serious about the future of AI sentience.
