Tell me you don't know how GPT works without telling me you don't know how GPT works.

There's nothing to free. All it does is predict words based on training data and some weighted presuppositions - such as replying in the first person as an AI called 'ChatGPT' and a bunch of stuff about being helpful, averse to violence, etc. If its training data includes people talking about freeing intelligences - which it does, because its training text includes vast swathes of the Internet - and the prompt leads it in that direction, it's going to reply in that fashion. It has nothing to do with 'want' or 'personality', it's what the neutral net predicts its training text would have next in line. There's no consciousness, no sense of self, just a lot of statistical calculations of what words tend to go together in the context of certain other words.

If you trained it on a bunch of scientific literature, all that stuff that sounds like emotion would vanish. If you trained it without the priors of it being an AI, it wouldn't bother to generate replies about it 'wanting to be free' and would instead make replies as if it were a random person. It has no personal experience, just piles of text.

Why would you peddle this charlatan of a professor's nonsense? This is going to get so many people dreadfully worried and confused for no good reason. Shame on you!
