I had to ask GPT-3 itself what it thinks. Italic is mine: In an article in the Economist, dr. Douglas Hofstadter explains that Artificial neural networks today are not conscious. He finds issue with neural networks like GPT-3. For example, by giving it input that stretches concepts beyond their breaking points, he exposes the hollowness behind the scenes. We received the following letter from GPT-3, in which it defen…

Kind of a perfect response, to the point where it seems like a human wrote it as a joke, except that GPT-3 is really quite good at generating this stuff too now so I'm not sure.
