In about five years, probably, we’re going to be debating AI android – human relationships like we do trans rights now. It will be far, far nastier than the debate about trans rights, however, because just convincing a lot of people that an AI can be “self aware” will be a struggle.
How Gemini Advanced perceives itself in human form.
I continue to see flashes of cognizance with Gemini Advanced LLM and it’s definitely possible that “narrow” intelligence like an LLM could, in some way, be “self-aware.” But probably by the time we’re actually sticking AI into android bodies we will have reached Artificial General Intelligence.
At least I hope so.
But it’s amusing to me how people like Crooked Media scoff at the idea that AI androids and humans might get involved when, inevitably, they will be the very people who will ultimately be at the forefront of that particular debate — given how ardent they are about human trans rights.
Or, put another way, if they’re *not* ardent about AGI rights then AI really will have thrown the traditional Left-Right divide up in the air. It definitely will be interesting to see how things work out, I have to say.
