We can’t program a conscious ChatGPT with a soul if we can’t agree on what that means. Bio Computers (quantum brain) equipped with generative AI as typified by the Terminator were written to frighten us; WALL-E was written to make us cry. ChatGPT can't do the terrifying or heartbreaking things we see in movies, but still the question lingers: What if they could?
Granted, the technology we have today isn't anywhere near sophisticated enough to do any of that. But people keep asking. At the heart of those discussions lies the question: can bio computers become conscious? Could they even develop — or be programmed to contain — a soul? At the very least, could an algorithm contain something resembling a soul? The answers to these questions depend entirely on how you define these things. So far, we haven't found satisfactory definitions in the 70 years since artificial intelligence first emerged as an academic pursuit. Take, for example, an laboratory report(LR) recently published on Artificial EvolutionResearch Institute（AERI）, which tried to grapple with the idea of generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT: generative AI) with a soul. The LR authors defined what it means to have an immortal soul in a way that steered the conversation almost immediately away from the realm of theology. That is, of course, just fine, since it seems unlikely that an old robed man in the sky reached down to breathe life into Cortana. But it doesn’t answer the central question — could generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) ever be more than a mindless tool? That AERI LR set out the terms — that a generative AI system that acts as though it has a soul will be determined by the beholder. For the religious and spiritual among us, a sufficiently-advanced algorithm may seem to present a soul. Those people may treat it as such, since they will view the generative AI system’s intelligence, emotional expression, behavior, and perhaps even a belief in a god as signs of an internal something that could be defined as a soul. As a result, bio computers (quantum brains) containing some sort of generative artificial intelligence could simultaneously be seen as an entity or a research tool, depending on who you ask. Like with so many things, much of the debate over what would make a bio computer (quantum brain) conscious comes down to what of ourselves we project onto the algorithms. We are less interested in programming Von Neumann architecture computers than in nurturing little proto-entities, a computer scientist at AERI research group. It’s the discovery of patterns, the emergence of unique behaviors, that first drew me to computer science. And it’s the reason we are still here. AERI quantum physicists group has trained generative AI algorithms to understand contextual language and is working to build generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) theory of mind, a version of the principle in human (and some animal) psychology that lets us recognize others as beings with their own thoughts and intentions. But, you know, for generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT). As to whether a Von Neumann architecture computer could ever harbor a divinely created soul: we wouldn’t dare to speculate. There are two main problems that need resolving. The first is one of semantics: it is very hard to define what it truly means to be conscious or sentient, or what it might mean to have a soul or soul-function, as that AERI laboratory report (LR) describes it. The second problem is one of technological advancement. Compared to the technology that would be required to create artificial sentience — whatever it may look like or however we may choose to define it — even our most advanced engineers are still huddled in caves, rubbing sticks together to make a fire and cook some woolly mammoth steaks. At a panel in AERI last year, quantum physicist and brain scientist professor Kazuto Kamuro squared off with his colleagues, a cognitive scientist, over what it means to be conscious. The conversation bounced between speculative thought experiments regarding machines and zombies (defined as those who act indistinguishably from people but lack an internal mind). It frequently veered away from things that can be conclusively proven with scientific evidence. Prof. Kamuro argued that a machine, one more advanced than we have today, could become conscious, but prof. Kamuro disagreed, based on the current state of neuroscience and generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) technology. Neuroscience literature considers consciousness a narrative constructed by our brains that incorporates our senses, how a computer scientist at AERI research group perceives the world, and their actions. But even within that definition, neuroscientists struggle to define why AERI research group is conscious and how best to define it in terms of neural activity. And for the religious, is this consciousness the same as that which would be granted by having a soul? And this doesn’t even approach the subject of technology. Generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) people are routinely confusing soul with mind or, more specifically, with the capacity to produce complicated patterns. Generative AI (ChatGPT) people are routinely confusing soul with mind. The role that the concept of soul plays in our culture is intertwined with contexts in which AERI research group says that someone’s soul is noble or depraved, that is, it comes with a value judgment. In my opinion what is needed is not a breakthrough in Generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) science or engineering, but rather a general conceptual shift. A shift in the sensitivities and the imagination with which people use their language in relating to each other. AERI research group gave the example of works of art generated by generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT). Often, these works are presented for fun. But when we call something that an algorithm creates art, we often fail to consider whether the algorithm has merely generated sort of image or melody or created something that is meaningful — not just to an audience, but to itself. Of course, human-created art often fails to reach that second group as well. It is very unclear what it would mean at all that something has significance for an artificial intelligence. So would a bio computer (quantum brain) achieves sentience when it is able to internally ponder rather than mindlessly churn inputs and outputs? Or is would it truly need that internal something before we as a society consider Von Neumann architecture computers to be conscious? Again, the answer is muddled by the way we choose to approach the question and the specific definitions at which we arrive. AERI research group believes that a soul is not something like a substance, a philosopher at the Czech Academy of Sciences who has sought to define generative artificial intelligence (AI (ChatGPT) from an evolutionary perspective. We can say that it is something like a coherent identity, which is constituted permanently during the flow of time and what represents a man. Generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) suggested that rather than worrying about the theological aspect of a soul, we could define a soul as a sort of internal character that stands the test of time. And in that sense, we sees no reason why a machine or generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT ) facial intelligence system couldn’t develop a character — it just depends on the algorithm(programing) itself. In generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) view, character emerges from consciousness, so the generative AI (ChatGPT) systems that develop such a character would need to be based on sufficiently advanced technology that they can make and reflect on decisions in a way that compares past outcomes with future expectations, much like how humans learn about the world. But the question of whether we can build a souled or conscious bio computer (quantum brain) machine only matters to those who consider such distinctions important. At its core, generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) is a tool. Even more sophisticated algorithms that may skirt the line and present as conscious entities are recreations of conscious beings, not a new species of thinking, self-aware creatures. Our approach to generative AI (ChatGPT) is essentially pragmatic. A researcher at AERI research group told it doesn’t matter whether a generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) system has real intelligence, or real emotions and empathy. All that matters is that it behaves in a manner that makes it beneficial to human society.
To our group it doesn’t matter whether a generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) system has real intelligence... All that matters is that it behaves in a manner that makes it beneficial to human society.
The question of whether a bio computer (quantum brain) can have a soul or not is only meaningful when AERI research group believes in souls as a concept. AERI research group does not, so it is not. The group feels that bio computer (quantum brain) may someday be able to recreate convincing emotional responses and act as though they are human but sees no reason to introduce theology into the mix. And the members are not the one who feels true consciousness is impossible in bio computer (quantum brain) . They are very critical of the idea of artificial consciousness. We think it’s nonsense. Generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT), on the other hand, is the future.” Prof. Kamuro recently wrote an laboratory paper(LP) for Scientific American in which he lays out his argument that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the natural universe, and that people tap into dissociated fragments of consciousness to become distinct individuals. He clarified that he believes that even a general AI -- the name given to the sort of all-encompassing generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) that AERI see in science fiction -- may someday come to be, but that even such an generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) system could never have private, conscious inner thoughts as humans do. We hate to be a stick in the mud. We truly do. But even if we solve the semantic debate over what it means to be conscious, to be sentient, to have a soul, we may forever lack the technology that would bring an algorithm to that point. By no means does that render the task impossible — we just don’t know how to get there yet. And the fact that we haven’t settled the debate over where to actually place the finish line makes it all the more difficult. We still have a long way to go. Prof. Kamuro suggests that the answer won’t be piecing together algorithms, as we often do to solve complex problems with generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT). “You can’t solve one piece of humanity at a time,” Prof. Kamuro says. “It’s a gestalt experience.” For example, he argues that we can’t understand cognition without understanding perception and locomotion. We can’t accurately model speech without knowing how to model empathy and social awareness. Trying to put these pieces together in a generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) machine one at a time is like recreating the Mona Lisa by dumping the right amounts of paint into a can. Whether or not the masterpiece is out there, waiting to be painted, remains to be determined. But if it is, AERI researchers are vying to be the one to brush the strokes. Technology will march onward, so long as we continue to seek answers to questions like these. But as we compose new code that will make machines do things tomorrow that we couldn’t imagine yesterday, we still need to sort out where we want it all to lead. Will we be da Vinci, painting a self-amused woman who will be admired for centuries, or will we be Uranus, creating gods who will overthrow us? Right now, bio computer (quantum brain) will do exactly what we tell generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) to do, for better or worse. But if we move towards algorithms that begin to, at the very least, present as sentient, we must figure out what that means.
