A language model can't raise a child. It won't initiate any conversations on it's own and it doesn't "remember" past conversations in a way a person would find meaningful.
When you blithely add the requirements "ability to detect and act on its environment" and "form new memories", I think it's important to note that these are some tough functions to add.
Lastly, children form emotional attachments to a lot of things: parents, pets, toys, stuffed animals, blankets. They do pretty well discerning between the real and imaginary.
- vineyardmike 4y ago> They do pretty well discerning between the real and imaginary. I would say the exact opposite. It’s the parents guiding them as they age as well as maturity that breaks those emotional connections. How many adults save their childhood teddy bear through adulthood due to emotional connection? Adults who have spouses and pets and children still have an emotional connection to some cotton (even if they know it’s not living). A child given lambda is probably going to be really engrossed even if it knows it’s a computer.
