The question is whether the language model also perceives our text when we prompt it, neuroscientists from Estonia, Germany, and Australia write. The authors argue that although the responses of these AI systems seem conscious, they are most likely not. First, they say, the inputs to language models lack the embodied, embedded information content characteristic of our sensory contact with the world around us.Second, the architectures of present-day AI algorithms are missing key features of the thalamocortical system (r...

ChatGPT aced both tests, suggesting a potentially major step forward in the use of technology to turn reams of text from news articles to tweets and speeches into trading signals. That process is nothing new on Wall Street, of course, where quants have long used the kind of language models underpinning the chatbot to inform many strategies. But the f...
