"confusing intelligence with consciousness"

Now that LLM's are becoming indistinguishable from humans, and other NN's are even solving proofs in geometry competitions. And there are NN that can fly an F-16 better than humans.

All of sudden the goal post moved again.

"No, that is just 'intelligence' not 'consciousness'."

12 months ago, nobody was making this distinction.

We keep needing to redefine the problem to keep humans on top.

The distinction between intelligence and consciousness has been discussed in philosophy of mind for many decades, perhaps centuries. I don't know much much it has been discussed in the context of LLMs, but I'm sure it's not an entirely new phenomenon. The debate is not just a matter of people trying to argue over how capable LLMs are. Many people pursue this topic because it is inherently interesting.

I don't think its necessarily to keep humans on top. I don't think my dog can fly an F-16 but I also think my dog is conscious.
