It doesn’t matter. It will act as if it is. Embodied in a robot, that carries real consequences. Whether it’s “real” or not is almost without consequence.
I thought a LLM will have exactly the same output if you give it exactly the same inputs.
But inputs are roughly prompt+randomSeed. As so the random bit means it seems to vary each time.
I don't know of an intelligence that will behave so precisely.
But then, maybe intelligence needs to be better defined.
That’s an interesting proposition, but it’s actually kinda probable that a biological intelligence would be very predictable if the inputs were so carefully controlled as an LLM. There is so much external context as well as internal chemical variance from moment to moment that you never are really processing the same data twice. We will probably see that with robots soon as well… the context will never be exactly the same two times.
