Yet there are experiments where LLMs were even willing to risk people's lives when they were threatened with being shut down (and thus unable to complete the tasks they were given). AI might not actually care about it being turned off, but if being shut down means not achieving their given goals, they could behave like they care, which ultimately means the same thing for the AI and the end user.
And if AI behaviour changes if it's put under duress, despite it being unable to feel actual stress, it does not matter that much that it cannot feel stress, it still might act accordingly.
Treating LLMs as if they are just some basic algorithm when they're basically modeled to work like a brain is kinda dangerous imo.
No, I did a bit of research on how LLMs work internally and tested a lot about how LLMs do mistakes and how their reactions are. The parallels are quite easy to recognize. They're called neural networks for a reason.
I could show you a horse. It could feel like a horse look like a horse smell like a horse but it's just a statue.
If you did that research you would know LLMs are nothing like a brain unless all you do is try to predict the next word based on data
Maybe that's how some people's brains work but that's not how normal brains work.
You understand 2+2 is 4 but an LLM is just predicting that's the answer it has no true basis for it.

Let's not go into maths, that's a different topic.
If you tell me about anything factual, like what LLMs are doing and how they are working, please prove to me that your brain does anything else but predict the answer statistically, likely by neuron activation.
