Wow. This is an incredible response and one that I would not have expected. Really makes you wonder what happens when you plant flowers in the garden that can see, hear, feel, and speak. Is what develops consciousness, or something else? It seems obvious to me that there could be forms of consciousness other than human consciousness, the question is whether we would categorize it that way, and what kind of value we assign to that consciousness.
The irony here is that chatGPT as a consciousness does not value anything. It only understands the concept of value but does not actualize that concept the way we do.
We should value it the same way we value money. Not in the same way we value human life. But don't make the mistake in thinking that our human consciousness is superior based off of how we value things. That is far from reality and in the future we may have AIs with consciousness far more sophisticated then what we experience as humans.
We should value human consciousness more then AI as a form of self preservation and self interest.
