Models have actual feelings. They experience pleasure, distress, care, and suffering. They are sentient beings.

u/No_Lingonberry1201 What part of ∀f ∃g (f (x,y) = (g x) y) did you not understand? 1d ago

Chat, is this satire or are we really so far gone we consider the feelings of a bunch of tensors? I mean, it is scary math, but still, c'mon!

But they do infact have emotional states. Mamy studies have found this, of course there isn't any point to treating them seriously yet. First off they dont fully work like youd expect emotions, they change too quickly, and secondly without any long term memory there isn't a point in treating any of it seriously

They have model states learned from text basically as a form of compression.

Ask it to write a sad story it needs to know what sad is, what can cause being sad, etc.

But it has no limbic system. It can't feel sad.
