Analogies aren't proof for anything. I'm pretty sure though, we obviously can't prove these chatbots are sentient. Clearly. 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.
