Andrew F on Mythryl: “My instinct these days is that LLM are intelligent in the way that…”

My instinct these days is that LLM are intelligent in the way that slime molds or fungi might be intelligent. And that's kinda cool! Maybe even useful. But I have to admit that the personhood of slime molds is not a Top 10 ethical quandary for me.

Because intelligence is not the same as having: * consciousness * moral worth * agency * self awareness * sentience * intentionality * personhood * free will Many confuse these concepts because they've always come as a package in people, but we are learning that intelligence is separable.
