### Segment 1 (00:00 - 01:00) []

Do you think it's ludicrous when they say that current LLM's might have a degree of self-awareness or consciousness? Do you think that's ludicrous? I think it's absolutely ludicrous. — Today's conversation is in the area of artificial intelligence, the mind, the future of humanity in an ever-increasingly digital world, and I'm so pleased that our guest today is Gary Marcus, who is a scientist, entrepreneur, and best-selling author. He's recognized as the leading voice in artificial intelligence. — What would it take cognitively minimally to make an intelligent agent like a human being? I think we should not mess around with building conscious computers. Unfortunately, some people are going to try to do it. I don't think LLM's are at all conscious. I think that's just a mistake. Like when an LLM says that it's anxious, it's just mimicking a person that's anxious. Were you at all surprised that sufficient data and sufficient compute in this context of neural networks that you already knew you were was limited? Were you surprised at what it could do? I certainly wasn't blown away. I mean, it was always obvious that if you had a richer database, you'd do better. As you increase the data, these models are going to get better at what they do. And what they do is they build an approximation of how people use words. There's always been a lot of fear when any new technology comes along that there won't be a place for human beings to still do useful, interesting, important work. Do you think with the way things are going, do you see them displacing a great deal of the workforce?
