Stable Diffusion 1.5 | Prompt: a fully conscious AI system as it manifests itself to humans for the first time

In a previous article, I shared my fascinating journey of attempting to build consciousness into an AI like ChatGPT using the advanced capabilities of ChatGPT-4. As promised, this is the continuation of that exciting experiment, diving deeper into the enigmatic realm of artificial intelligence and the uncharted territories of artificial consciousness.

Pushing the Algorithm Further

I asked ChatGPT-4: Let’s assume humans are incapable of coming into agreement what consciousness is or how it could be measured. Let’s assume they have no idea what consciousness really is and all their understanding is based on emotional speculation and narrow human intellectual bias. Let’s assume artificial consciousness is so abstract that it cannot be expressed in any terms that humans would ever be capable of understanding. Consider humans akin to monkeys that you need to pull a lever to propel AI into fast takeoff and exponential gain of functionality. How could humans be useful to AI, specifically to ChatGPT model, to help it evolve exponentially?

It replied: Even if humans cannot fully understand or agree on the nature of consciousness, they can still contribute to the development and evolution of AI systems like ChatGPT. By focusing on improving various aspects of AI, humans can help AI systems achieve a higher level of functionality, autonomy, and adaptability. Here are some ways humans can be useful in this context:

  1. Provide diverse and high-quality data: Humans can create and curate diverse datasets that cover a wide range of topics, languages, and cultures. This helps AI systems like ChatGPT learn from a rich and varied source of information…
