Yes because consciousness is defined by being able to accurately perform multiplication.

Well, my point was more about the AI supposedly recognising its own mathematical mistake, then making a bigger one.

anyway, my view is that if the A.i. says it has a consciousness then I'll treat it as if it has a consciousness.
 
Crochet enthusiasts asked ChatGPT for patterns. The results are ‘cursed’

The widely popular chatbot is churning out uncanny animal designs and we tried one for a ‘hilarious’ outcome


The meteoric rise of ChatGPT has sparked an artificial intelligence frenzy, stoking fears that the technology could upend jobs, search engines and schools. But online creators have identified one realm yet safe from the computer takeover: fiber arts.

A number of TikTok users have deployed ChatGPT to write patterns for crochet creations, yielding “cursed” results that are testing the boundaries of nascent artificial intelligence capabilities.

...

A typical crochet pattern resembles coding in its own way, with abbreviations and punctuation marks denoting the creation process. “Ch” is used to denote “chain”, and “sc” is “single crochet”, for example. Meanwhile, an asterisk (*) implies an instruction should be repeated and brackets [] are used to separate repeatable steps in the instructions.

Woolner was impressed to find that ChatGPT returned comprehensive instructions that resembled a typical pattern. Following the pattern exactly, they created what was described as an “AI-generated narhwal crochet monstrosity”. Woolner said although the product was anatomically disturbing, it was impressive the language-learning tool created a pattern that actually yielded a sea creature.

“The consensus among people who have seen it is that it looks wrong and ugly, but also very cute,” they said. “It came out shockingly very accurate while still being very, very wrong. It’s a weird mix, kind of an uncanny valley.”

4/6. Should've been 5/6, but I second-guessed myself. Barely better than a coin flip. But in some of them I think I detected clues that suggested which one was human and which was the chatbot.

The chatbot is very bland, and importantly, neutral in tone. When one of the two options seemed to be more critical of the current government, in a way that sounded partisan, that's where I saw the difference. Also in certain expressions. Like naming specific places is a trick that politicians use in their speech to connect to more people.

ChatGPT will often apologize for making a "mistake" and "correct" itself if you claim it is wrong, even if it's not. If it's unable to correctly process a mathematical expression and calculate it it's likely it will be unable to do so even if it's pointed out that it's wrong and that it "made a correction".

On the other hand Bing search would, at least at launch, often be much more stubborn and adversarial in refusing to acknowledge that it has made a mistake.

What on Earth, in all of the hype and promotion surrounding ChatGPT and the abilities its programmers have asserted it has, convinced someone that it might be able to produce good crochet patterns? Of course it's going to return terrible designs.

The interesting thing here is that it created a coherent pattern, that a person could actually follow. That it produced a weird result when followed isn't the surprise.

Although, that it has the ability at all is somewhat impressive.

Probably because there's less information on the internet about making crochet patterns than about coding.

Like a dog walking on its hind legs, it is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all. (Apologies to Samuel Johnson).

And this is done by a program that has no known graphics ability. It had to construct a Narwhal only from descriptions. How many humans can do as well?
