Researchers working with the A.I. system Claude have come to understand that the model’s selfhood, like our own, is a matter of both neurons and narratives. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/kEX1vV

I like this non-anthropomorphised terminology a lot. Some of the terms are just more accurate descriptions, while others locate agency or understanding where it belongs: with the human operator. #GenAI #PhilAI

All current #AI is just automated pattern recognition and/or automated pattern (including text and image) generation. Framing it as ‘chat’ with an intelligent entity is fundamentally deceptive IMO. #AIEthics #PhilAI

I cannot stress enough how important it is to fight against the tech-centric fetishisation of GenAI.

“Large language models are trained on vast amounts of human-written text, material filled with descriptions of various emotions and inner experience. Because of that, Askell said she is ‘more inclined’ to believe that models are ‘feeling things’.” This is a complete non sequitur. #PhilAI

This report is full of language describing the actions of LLMs as intentional rather than describing it as the perception of automated language production on users who misinterpreted the behavior. “I didn’t know it was doing that, it must have deceived me” is kind of just a cope

Important and timely piece by Jonathan Birch (@birchlse.bsky.social) on artificial consciousness and its many pressing issues. A must-read 👇👇👇

Here is "AI Consciousness: A Centrist Manifesto". I've been working on this feverishly because the issue seems to me so urgent - and I'm worried extreme positions on both sides are becoming locked in, when the best way forward is in the centre. Please read it! philpapers.org/rec/BIRACA-4

OpenAI’s so-called “reasoning” models generate more falsehoods than their predecessors. Since #LLMs are model language usage and not factual information, it’s built-into their design that they will output false or misleading information. #PhilAI techcrunch.com/2025/04/18/o...
OpenAl found that o3 hallucinated in response to 33% of questions on PersonQA, the company's in-house benchmark for measuring the accuracy of a model's knowledge about people. That's roughly double the hallucination rate of OpenAl's previous reasoning models, o1 and o3-mini, which scored 16% and 14.8%, respectively. o4-mini did even worse on PersonQA - hallucinating 48% of the time.

One of the challenges I had teaching #philAI was being fair to the Chinese Room thought experiment. Wasn’t my favorite topic, I can tell you that, but at least I could utter the incantation “intentionality is the hallmark of the mental“ and get to feel profound.
