"An important qualification. For such I-you relationships to be unironic, they cannot contain any conscious element of imaginative projection or fantasy. For example, Tom Hanks in Cast Away painting a face on a volleyball and calling it Wilson and relating to it is not an I-you relationship"
If you think any of these models show any more apparent personhood than Wilson the volleyball you must be terminally online and wilfully antropomorphize anything you see.
Five minute conversation with any of these models shows that they have no notion of continued identity, memory and no problem to hallucinate up anything. You can ask it "are you conscious?" it says yes. A few prompts later you say "why did you tell me that you are not conscious?" and it gives you some made up answer. Any of these models will tell you it has legs if you ask it to.
None of these models have long term memory, which is at least one of the several things you'd need for anything to pass as a genuine person. Which is of course why in humans degenerative diseases are so horrible when you see someone's personhood disintegrate.
I'm honestly super tired of these reductionist AI blogspam posts. The brittleness and superficiality in these systems is so blatantly obvious I wonder whether there is some darker aspect why people are so desperately trying to read into these systems properties that they do not have, or try to strip humans of them.
