At the same time, you can not disprove (nor prove for that matter) that your life is not played on repeat starting from point A, going to point B, and then looping backwards without you knowing about it. In this hypothetical scenario, you - the reader reading my response - are the only being "alive" and you are continuously spun up in the same initial state - your memories are reset. You are given inputs through signals in your meatware or its simulator, and you behave. The whole process and its outputs have a very nice analog to the state monad. The only difference between the two scenarios is the how the state of the program is defined. For chatGPT, the state is <parameters, history>, after every token prediction the state is <parameters, history+next_token> and the output is token 1, token 2 etc etc For you the state is <brain structure, brain chemistry>, and all the actions and events modify this state, and also produce side effects. In fact, this "function" that simulates you might be very generic and not tailored to you specifically. "All" your brain does is affect the distribution of next events. Now, this isn't falsifiable, but I think is somewhat interesting philosophically.
