gollark: But how do you KNOW if it understands it?
gollark: I mean, right now, our AIs don't reach anywhere near human complexity. But what if Google scales up GPT-3 a few hundred times or something on their vast computing resources, and it manages to do really advanced stuff without doing anything which looks like thinking to humans?
gollark: I don't even know. Our current "AI" systems don't really seem like, well, anything comprehensible to humans?
gollark: But the monotone voices will make people not think too hard about AI rights.
gollark: Well, actually, I do that with the osmarks.tk closed timelike curves regularly and nobody complained.
