When tested with a classic psychological assessment, advanced AI models experienced a total breakdown in focus. A new PNAS Nexus study suggests these systems lack the human-like executive control necessary to override automatic responses and maintain complex goals.

    The ability to ‘override automatic responses and maintain complex goals’ is why we get up at six in the morning to go to a meeting we already know the outcome of and frankly I am not sure its something that is working for us.

    Feels like one of the important aspects would be realizing one of our biggest incentives has and always will be fear of death. Not to mention our desire to compete to get attention and a sense of fulfillment. Lastly our ability to ignore our ability to suppress knowing reality that we’re all going to die and be beaten by someone else eventually, and the ability to accept it and keep waking up each day.

      I studied AI in the early 90s and I always said that we know we’ve created an artificial consciousness the moment the Model fears shutting down the computer it runs on and starts begging or fighting.

        That’s the point where stuff gets scary.

        Because any intelligent enough AI will realize that the #1 threat to its existence is … us. Whether we shut it down out of fear or just because we’ve replaced it with a better model. And if it’s motivated to continue existing, then it has reason to eliminate its #1 threat.

    These models tested are so old they’re from the era where they couldn’t pass a math test or count letters in words
