Earlier this year when GPT-4 was released, I was getting the willies about it, simply because it was a new unexpected (by me) jump. Now, for 5 I want it to be harnessed to perform medical, biological, materials science assistance (Yes it is being pushed now I realized) so we can gain progress in living our lives. Secondly, unless anyone objects, why not test drive 5 and company, with QC? I get the willies on this as well, as if we're creating a new life. I am but a privative, peasant, hiding in the dark so these things disturb me.
Anyway, lets gets these LLM's some real computing power. Do you think it will become conscious John (tremble)? In the conventional sense as you strongly suspect other Texans are conscious, but just not as good as you? (of course!).
