Using human neurons, this team of scientists created a computer capable of playing pong. One way to match human intelligence is by using human brain tissue.

For reference, the human brain has 86 billion neurons.

So you see, I believe ChatGPT has nearly 0% chance of being conscious.
Now this...

One way we might be able to create conscious AI is with bio-computronium arrays.
turnip_burrito t1_ja6upi3 wrote
But it has a way higher probability of being conscious then.

If you're making AI out of actual brain tissue, is it even really AI anymore?
duskaception t1_jab1qvt wrote
Yes as the materials and process were created artificially.

Is cloning a human AI?
duskaception t1_jabkmes wrote
If we can successfully clone a human, I would say that's an artificial human. Now whether or not them being artificial makes them more or less worthy of human rights is not a debate I'm here to make. (imo everything sapient and to an extent sentient should have some form of rights to protect it)

Great!!! Now when is he learning to cure ibs?? I'm tired of these smelly farts after eating an apple a day keeps docs away!!

It doesnt seem to understand the basics of pong as far i can see in this video.

To be fair, it seems to understand Pong better than OP understands this whole field

It's going to be so sad in the future, having to wipe your computer and start fresh.

I think it took me longer to learn pong when I played it for the first time. This idea sounds great, but I have a feeling that no one is taking it seriously.

I agree! It's sad to see that Pong, the game that started it all, isn't taken seriously anymore. It deserves respect for paving the way for the entire gaming industry and being a damn good game. The mechanics are elegant, and it rewards skill and practice. We've become too obsessed with flashy graphics and complex mechanics, forgetting that sometimes the simplest things can be the most enjoyable. Let's remind people that Pong is a classic game that deserves to be celebrated and remembered.

Who's DNA is it and is it ethical to do such a thing with it?

Why are you mad? It's just two genuine questions

Check upvote/downvote ratio ^

Yeah, I'm trying to understand why
EDIT: I wonder whether people think that someone asking these questions is against this technology, which I'm not, I'm just genuinely asking two questions about it, jeez
Can you explain why you are mad about it?

Did some digging. They used 800000 cells, it never got to superhuman levels, human cells are better than mouse cells.
Things to take away, 800k is not equivalent to 800k parameters. 800k cells might equal anywhere between 800m to 8b parameter(1000 - 10000 synapses per neuron). If a bloody 800m parameter model can't learn to play ping pong like a superhuman it's not really that great. However, it probably does converge sooner, given that the way neurons learn in brain isn't like a feed forward network.
The most curious thing here is that apparently neurons work by trying to reduce entropy. Looks like all of life is trying to do the same at many levels.
