I’m going to sound crazy (because I am), but I think counciousness can only be created by a specific kind of cognitive process, that the “brain” is automatically connected and receive direct information from it’s behaviour.
Like, if a cognitive process, imagine an undescribed algorithm, receives immediate information from it’s behaviour and automatically acts upon itself, changing the algorithm itself, so it can relate cause and effect, being the only basic form of interaction that can produce this cognitive process, the basis for any higher function as “I (internal) interact (made something) with the world (the outside reaction to what I made)”.
This would mean that counciousness would need this step, not that this step would necessarily create counciousness.
These LLMs are prebaked dictionaries in this form of view.
Well, yeah, they have fixed weights and the architecture is inspired literally from a vectorized key-value database structure. What you are describing seem to be recursive self learning, which is essential for adaptation. Consciousness is not even well defined, so I wouldn’t bother making sense of it.
What you are describing seem to be recursive self learning
I’m talking in general, not applied to this specific case, just what is the minimum for a cognitive process to be able to reach this specific type of knowledge. Consciousness at least has a recognition of itself, a “minimal” generalized definition.
More related to how to define such a system in general and what it takes.
