Hogwash. If we follow the logic of this essay, then personhood would be fully encapsulated by one’s online posts and interactions. Does anyone buy that? If anything, LLM chatbots are “terminally online” simulators, dredging up the stew that results from boiling down subreddits, Twitter threads, navel-gazing blogs, etc.
Call me when ChatGPT can reminisce about the time the car broke down between Medford and Salem and it took forever for the tow truck to arrive and thats when you decided to have your first kid.
There aren’t enough tokens in the universe for ChatGPT to be a real person.
