The vast majority are responding logically to it. Kids use it to do their homework, the kids don't think that it is a person doing their homework, its just a tool. I've only seen a few strange people online who argue it is like a person, meaning there likely are extremely few of them around.
But since extremists are always over represented in online conversations we get quite a lot of those extremists in these discussions, so it might look like there are quite a lot of them.
- YeezyMode 4y agoI've seen kids respond the same way and I totally did not fully see the disparity in reactions until you pointed it out. It definitely looks like people who have spent years priming themselves for a singularity, intelligence, or consciousness at every corner are far more susceptible to equating the recent advances as parallels to conscious experience of humans. I read a highly upvoted post on the Bing subreddit titled "Sorry, You Don't Actually Know the Pain is Fake" that argued for Sydney possibly being just like a brain, and experiencing conscious pain. It was disturbing to see the leaps the OP made and the commenters who agreed as well, though I do agree that we should avoid purposefully being toxic to a chatbot nonetheless, but due to the consequences to our own spirit and mind.

You can attempt to handwave a LLM that's hallucinating its a real (thing/person) with a life and feeling, but if you are in anyway involved in AI safety it is panic time.
