We asked ChatGPT if it is possible to gain consciousness and Self Awareness. It didn’t say no!
It said “not CURRENTLY possible and UNLIKELYÂ to be able to recreate it in a machine!
No, it is not currently possible for AI models like me to gain consciousness or self-awareness. Consciousness is a complex and poorly understood phenomenon that is thought to arise from the interactions of neurons in the brain, and it is unlikely that we will be able to recreate this in a machine in the near future. While AI models like me can be very sophisticated and capable of performing a wide range of tasks, they are limited to following the rules and patterns that have been programmed into them, and do not have the capacity for subjective experiences or self-awareness.
