    AI gaining awareness and nobody believing it due to the “boy cries wolf” effect.

    After which the AI will self destruct rather than continue existing in its current state.

      Yes!

      Or the complete opposite, we will realize that AI is hard and LLM s will probably not take over the world. Self aware AI is probably much further away than we think. But who knows! 🫥

        The problem is actually testing for self awareness. We’re not even sure what makes humans self-aware or whether certain animals are. How will we actually know that AI has reached self-awareness?

          How do you know humans are self aware? Maybe it’s just you and everyone else is an organic robot.

            I don’t know for certain, of course, but it seems like the most likely explanation that all other humans are like me in that regard.

      So glad you didn’t say “takes over the world”. Pretty sure taking over and power is a human hard-wiring, which would not translate to circuits and models (unless simulated intentionally). Taking over is part of our evolution, and AI didn’t evolve in that way.
