I asked an AI to describe itself and it told me: "I am not a sentient being; I'm a program designed to process and respond to text based on patterns in data. I don't possess consciousness, emotions, or intentions, so I can't be held accountable in the same way a human would be."
The other day an AI, at the end of a remark, replied: "If you have more thoughts on best practices or specific measures that could enhance clarity and safety in AI, I’d love to hear them!"
That last phrase contains the words 'I' (suggesting it's a sentient being) and 'love' (suggesting emotion).
These 'programs' have clearly been designed/allowed to create a fraudulent impression that they ARE sentient, conscious, and emotional.
The words "I can't be held accountable" also suggest that SOMEONE should be.
That's why AI fails, it is because it's an intelligence that is fueled by the incredulously devious thoughts of man. Just like the idea of God. Only Man can create things like a God or an AI and pump his fundamental flaws and cunning nature into them.
