As it turns out, it’s impossible to remove a user’s data from a trained A.I. model. Deleting the model entirely is also difficult—and there’s little regulation to enforce either option.

I’m rather curious to see how the EU’s privacy laws are going to handle this.

    And human beings are more like a fungus (eukaryotes, saprophites) than an LLM is, that doesn’t mean we’re mushrooms.

    However, the human brain is more like an LLM than a database, because the LLM was modelled after the human brain. It’s also very similar in the way that nobody actually can tell precisely how it works, for some reason it just does.

    Now I wouldn’t worry about philosophical implications about the nature of consciousness and such, we’re a long way and we’ll find a way of screwing it up.

    I do question why people are so vehement to always point out what we ‘have’ and how special we are. Nobody sane is saying LLMs are human consciousness 2.0. So why act threatened?
