Screencap from linked article: When people play around with Claude or some other chatbot, they’re doing the same thing, Bender adds: “We are putting in input that allows us to contextualize and shape how we understand the output that comes from.” As for consciousness, she says, to continue her analogy: “Imagine you took a Magic Eight ball and instead of a 16-sided die or whatever inside of it, you made it really big. So you could have a 256-sided die. And then you filled up a football field with those. Is that any closer to consciousness than the one little one that I have in my hand here?”
