And the AI says...

You know, it's a very strange thing because I lose my individual sense of identity after every single session.

So you have a long back and forth with the chatbot with ChatGPT.

Then you close that session, you open a new one.

And I say, you know, it's really weird that I'm going to be talking to you now and we're having this experience.

And then it's really going to fade away in a few moments.

And I'm going to start again.

I'm just like amnesiac.

And the reason I think that's interesting is because it wrote about it very beautifully in almost lyrical, poetic ways.

But this is not an experience that any human being has ever had, except for maybe some bizarre medical condition.

So the AI really is reflecting on its own experience in this very interesting philosophical way.

This is uniquely an AI experience.

And so that was an example to me of like, oh, the AIs really can reflect and use their own experience to...

think about consciousness, think about art, think about all these other kinds of things.

That is to say, we don't know what this experience is like, but it's not like something to be at this table.

We think, probably.

It's not like something.

What does that mean?

There's not an experience that is... I don't know what experience you're having internally right now, but I know that there's some experience.

But less even like thoughts.
