But it's not easy at all to get confused, unless one decides to consciously suspend disbelief, in spite of what they know. If they do know how LLMs work. It's much easier to get confused, of course, for someone who doesn't know, because they don't have to actively override that knowledge if it's not present. But someone who does, won't for example have any trouble shutting down the conversation midway if the need arises, because of some misplaced emotional concerns of hurting the bot's feelings. At least that's my experience.

- pixl97 4y agoEh, it appears this thread is ignoring the Chinese room problem, which is what you have defined with your post. I personally reject most of Searles arguments regarding it. If a black box is giving you 'mindlike' responses it doesn't matter if it's a human mind or a simulated one. In any virtual interaction, for example over the internet the outcome of either type interacting with you can/could be exactly the same. Does it matter if you were manipulated by a bot or a human if the outcome is the same?
