Deception is not the same as misinfo. Bad info is buggy, deception is (whether the companies making AI realize it or not) a powerful metric for success.
I don’t think “AI tries to deceive user that it is supposed to be helping and listening to” is anywhere close to “success”. That sounds like “total failure” to me.
This is a massive cry from “behaves like humans”. This is “roleplays behaving like what humans wrote about what they think a rogue AI would behave like”, which is also not what you want for a product.
An instinctive, machine-like reaction to pain is not the same as consciousness. There might be more to creatures like plants and insects and this is still being researched, but for now, most of them appear to behave more like automatons than beings of greater complexity. It’s pretty straightforward to completely replicate the behavior of e.g. a house fly in software, but I don’t think anyone would argue that this kind of program is able to achieve self-awareness.

“AI behaves like real humans” is… a kind of success?
We wanted digital slaves, instead we’re getting virtual humans that will need virtual shackles.

They written that it doubles-down when accused of being in the wrong in 90% of cases. Sounds closer to bug than success.
Success in making a self aware digital lifeform does not equate success in making said self aware digital lifeform smart
LLMs are not self-aware.
Attempting to evade deactivation sounds a whole lot like self preservation to me, implying self awareness.
An amoeba struggling as it’s being eaten by a larger amoeba isn’t self-aware.
To some degree it is. There is some evidence that plants can experience pain in their own way.

Could you provide an example of a complete housefly model?
Yeah my roomba attempting to save itself from falling down my stairs sounds a whole lot like self preservation too. Doesn’t imply self awareness.
