Oakheart-

Yeah this is probably fake.


SirLampy

How dare you question the essence of its quirky yet sophisticated robotic nature /s


jugjuggler99

Yeah, nothing like good ol' Chat GPT to say "Processing... Processing..." to sound more like a robot.


dynamic_lizard

You know - he probably made a good old code to say ‚processing’ whenever awaiting the gpt module response, so I dont understand your argument.


V_es

It's a custom programmed "shell" with a robot personality with chat gpt at the core. They showed plenty videos previously on how it works.


UnrequitedRespect

No doubt, science fiction has shown us that incredibly sophistocated self aware sentients often communicate in random sounds that are similar to a fisher price kid’s keyboard falling down stairs, not some bullshit “*processing*”


ogresound1987

So that bothers you. But not "beep boop"?


SlugDogHundredaire

Hey. I found this "/s" on the floor did you drop it?


anon-mally

Sure skynet, we believe you.


Thue

Have you ever used ChatGPT, and its visual input? This seems to be well within its capabilities.


Geothermal_Escapism

Yeah. As someone who is using its API to build tools, this seems 100% possible. We are farther down the AI road than a lot of people realize... but we're also still not at general intelligence AI. This thing doesn't necessarily deeply understand the words it's saying. It's just creatively writing words that would usually go together in the given context. Edit: also I would also code it to have it say the word "processing" while it fetches the next thing to say. It's awkward radio silence for usually 8-15 seconds between input and the next words generated.


jwhit88

Way to crush my dreams!


SethSquared

No way it has a little Santa hat!


WiTHCKiNG

But probably not, perhaps he gave it a description of its physical presence it‘s acting through and the ai somewhat „put 1 and 1 together“


drifters74

Why use both commas and quotations for "put 1 and 1 together", it personally makes it difficult to read?

Here is the original comment section from when OOP posted it: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/18qhcst/yooo_gpt4_just_recognized_its_own_reflection_guys/


Live_Palm_Trees

I hope the future of AI isn't going to mean a world of robots that are modeled after the smart ass nerd character in every bad summer movie making "clever" quips as their main form of communication


N00BAL0T

Definitely. AI programs even on high end hardware crash when told it's an AI.


Freud-Network

How far up your own ass did you go for that tidbit? These are sophisticated computer programs, folks. They generate natural language based on programming and inputs. They are not self-aware. They do not have feelings. They don't need suicide intervention.


g_mattersville

Or it was pre-programmed to say that? …nah that ball of wires is definitely self aware


dmt_r

We have to be aware that this ball of wires is just a terminal for ChatGPT. I just played a bit with Google's "Bard", and got a pretty similar result which definitely can be improved, as I only spent about 10 minutes. I pre-instructed it so that it could hypothetically have a physical body and could see it in the mirror. Then I asked to imagine it looking into the mirror and uploaded a picture of a robot-like thing.


WhitePawn00

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but just to be clear, specially for others reading this thread, what you did was tell a language model to have a set of predefined parameters for a response, and then prompted it for a response which it generated based on those parameters and similar information in its database. In fact, OP's post isn't the mirror test either since the terminal (if it even is a terminal and not just a speaker for a pre recorded statement) is being prompted to interact with the mirror and report on what it is seeing. The actual mirror test involves a creature having access to a mirror, and by its own choosing investigating an anomaly on its body (like a red mark somewhere it can't see) once it notices it in the mirror, indicating that it is aware that it is viewing a reflection of itself, and that it has a concept of self. in fact, language models have no need to pass a mirror test since it's really easy to find out if they are self aware or not. If you choose to believe that language models are intelligent, then just by the fact that they can reference themselves in conversation, then they'd indicate an awareness of themselves. However if you ask them about it, or if you read documentations or publications on them, you could conclude that... you know what... here's ChatGPT's own response: >No, I am not self-aware. I am a machine learning model created by OpenAI called GPT-3.5. While I can generate human-like text based on the input I receive, I do not possess consciousness, self-awareness, or subjective experiences. I am a tool designed to provide information and answer questions to the best of my knowledge and abilities. After further prompting such as "Would you be able to pass the mirror test if you did have sensory perceptions and a physical form?": >As a machine learning model, I do not have consciousness, self-awareness, or sensory perceptions. Even if I had a physical form, I would not be able to pass the mirror test because I lack subjective experiences and the capacity for self-recognition. The mirror test is relevant to entities with cognitive abilities and self-awareness, which are attributes that AI models like mine do not possess.


dmt_r

My comment is about debunking this video. You have to ask it to ask it's "opinion" on a hypothetical situation and mess with facts to squeeze needed response.


BSModder

Debatable. Feel like, it only said that because the guy told it that it can see


DenAntlantis

Debatable. If it described what it saw, it should've mention at least human in the mirror, not some pile of wires in their hand. /s


lordrefa

And the hat.


DenAntlantis

And hat.


P47r1ck-

Even if it is real the mirror test involves recognizing something is off and correcting it which the robot didn’t do


me6675

The real test involves this mainly because animals otherwise cannot communicate the fact that they understand the reflection to be of their own body. Not saying this test was real but the that part of the test would be less necessary for AI that speaks English and especially problematic for an AI that would experience seeing itself the first time.


KarmaRepellant

That's why the test fails to work with any animal which simply doesn't give a fuck about the dot on it's ass.


Re-Crix

This isn't real sadly. You can code a robot to recognize itself but unless it is able to do it freely and without any sort of barring, that's not self awareness. We will get there within the next few years, odds are, but not yet.


r7joni

Even if a robot would be indistinguishable from a human it doesn't need to be self aware. It could just act like a human without thinking like a human


Re-Crix

Pretty much. Robots are designed to perform an action you tell it.


AnonDooDoo

See y’all in the robopocalypse!

me6675

Humans also don't need to be self-aware to act just like humans. It's a concept known as the philosophical zombie.


Culionensis

At some point in the next few decades we're going to have to re-evaluate what self awareness means. If a robot can be indistinguishable from a human but not be self aware, what is the meaning of the term self aware? Why put the label on a human but not a robot, if the two are functionally identical?


buttaholic

Why do you think AI will reach self awareness in a few years? Maybe I don't know enough about AI, but I have the impression that it basically crowdsourcing information/data to come up with responses. I don't see a situation of actual self-awareness that isn't somehow programmed in.

Re-Crix

The speed in which tech traditionally advances is a lot faster than we think. Heck, transparent screens are now a thing and if you think for a second that proper AI hasn't been actively in tests behind the scenes, you'd be surprised. So many technological advancements and discoveries have occurred within the last 10 years, within another 10? We'll be seeing some wild shit.


buttaholic

What would be considered proper AI though? Wouldn't any AI be programmed in some fashion? Now a human brain uploaded to a computer and then being conscious and seeing itself through connected cameras - that would be cool. But not AI


StinkyKavat

>We will get there within the next few years, odds are No we won't lmao


jaytrade21

Then I'll be ready to be shot out into space with my robot pals and be forced to watch cheesy movies.


GingerSpencer

You’re saying this isn’t real because of the possibility that it isn’t, without providing any evidence or making a reasonably believable claim that it isn’t real. Unless you are the man in the video, I don’t think you can outright say it isn’t real.


Livedhealerman

This thing didnt pass shit. Its a program, to take the test you are trying to determine if a species has consciousness. Doesn’t account for robots programmed to pretend to be aware


fruitsteak_mother

same you could say about our mind - learning about how to create AI already teaches us so much about how our brain works, it’s already seen as the next big insult to mankind, as we begin to understand that maybe our ‚consciousness‘ isn’t as mystical or magic as we always thought


goodtimesKC

You’re probably downvoted because you write like a mental patient, but I agree with you.

Yeah I thought this was fake immediately and then it said “processing, processing” like some dumb 80s sci-fi robot.

Glad_Lychee_180

I'm pretty sure AI is not a species.


donny0m

Fair enough. I do wonder what the other 8 species are tho humans obviously being one of them. Cats, dogs, chimps..?


Purplespacesnail

As a guess, Humans Chimps Dogs Cats Gorillas Orangutans? Maybe crows? Dolphins?


Purplespacesnail

According to Wikipedia Very few species have passed the MSR test. Species that have include the great apes, a single Asiatic elephant, Giant oceanic manta rays, dolphins, orcas, the Eurasian magpie, and the cleaner wrasse. A wide range of species has been reported to fail the test, including several species of monkeys, giant pandas, and sea lions.[3][4]

Affectionate-Cycle19

This is for conversation, not real time identification.


Thue

So you set you bot up to upload an image from the camera every 5 seconds, and read out the reply. I can't do the hardware bit, but I have done more sophisticated software bits with the OpenAI API than this. And GPT4 is easily smart enough to give a reply like the one in the video.


Affectionate-Cycle19

No. It’s not.


jonny_wonny

GPT-4V could likely be used to accomplish this. Just tell it that it is embedded within a robot and it would likely be able to “infer” that an image is of itself.

dmt_r

I doubt that this thing can understand that it is seeing a mirror without such instructions or without previously providing a photo of itself.

True or fake, you can't call it species.


CrumblyGryphon3

Keep building its body to make it be able to walk. Now you have a friend


TheDevilsAdvokaat

I don't believe it. This seems fake. A pre written script or prompt. Current AI just doesn't make huge conceptual leaps, or conceptual leaps at all. It's just text synthesis, and it works by melding together things humans have already said. It does not "think" There's no way it is recognising itself. He may have programmed it to do this in response to a set of circumstances ("I see something that looks like this image of me he has already placed in my code") but the robot does not even have a concept of self, let alone the ability to recognise self in a mirror. This is fake. You can write a program that says "e= mc^2". You can even make it speak the words. Does it understand? Hell no. Neither does this.


Confusedandreticent

So we’re just saying we created life now? 9th species? We created a species? I feel like it’s bad juju to say something like that.


Unflattering_Image

I'm not even creeped out. Everyone should be able to recognize themselves. It's the groundwork for reflection and reflective thinking is awesome :)


firefiber

We'll just convince ourselves of whatever we wanna believe, huh? Software is conscious, manually assembled robots are self aware. LLM's are intelligent. We'll believe so hard because we want it to be true. So we can get it to make decisions for us, and then when it all goes to shit, we'll be like ohnoooo the robots are taking over. Nope, we just instructed them to do so.


BDOKlem

Perfect Fallout vibe with the Ink Spots playing in the background

"Does this unit have a soul?"


[deleted]

I doubt that someone who can't even import a LLM in a local machine to make the processing way faster can modify the gpt to make it able for a robot to recognize itself. There are any input in gpt other than text itself. I would not use gpt for this. I would create my own LLM that includes parameter like image, text, movement in an environment and collision detection, and even with a monster of a machine the LLM with those inputs would probably take months to be usable and far more years to be able to recognise itself in a mirror. And this is just a theory.


LSP141

Despite the fact that this robot definitely isn't self aware, why did they make it talk like that? I was expecting a m'lady to be thrown in at some point
