This is actually a pretty good comment. The scissor analogy, while a bit on-the-nose, is very accurate. Maybe a better example would be: why is our body fooled by artificial hearts? Simply because it was built in such a way that it simulates a real heart pretty well.
Similarly, these models are built in such a way that they simulate real-life conversations pretty well. There's nothing really more to it. In my view, this phenomenon has nothing to do with intelligence or how smart we are, or whatever.

However, for the first time, we ALSO cannot prove that these chatbots aren't sentient. The statistics are proof of that. What you and the parent poster are describing here are simply opinions. We are at a point where the null hypothesis and the hypothesis itself cannot be proven. And that is compelling. The pretentiousness of a lot of people is astounding. That statistic no matter how you look at it is a compelling statement about AGI, independent of whether or not these chatbots are AGIs.
