Artificial neural networks are making strides towards consciousness?
&gt;In our conversation, lamda tells me what it believes Ramesh felt that Lucy learned about what Mateo thought about Lucy’s overture. This is high order social modelling.<p>I am not sure the example convinces me that what GPT-3 is doing here is &#x27;modeling&#x27; the agents in the story.  It feels like the author is trying to draw a contrast between rote statistical language modeling and higher-order understanding, and it&#x27;s not clear to me that the result shown could not be achieved with the former.
I&#x27;d like to see a bit more skeptical probing of this.  If GPT-3 has a model of the story and its characters, how consistent are its answers to questions about that model?  Is it distracted by irrelevant sentences?<p>In the counterpoint article, they give example questions like:<p>&gt;Dave &amp; Doug: What’s the world record for walking across the English Channel?<p>&gt;gpt-3: The world record for walking across the English Channel is 18 hours and 33 minutes.<p>Is this the output of an agent which has successfully modeled the scene?
