"You don't know what subjective experience cGPT may or may not be having. just like i don't actually know for you or you for me. you've simply chosen to assume such." This point is underappreciated by most people. We are close to the stage when conversations with AI's will be indistinguishable from conversations with humans, and then philosophical quibbles about whether such beings are intelligent or conscious will be irrelevant to most people, as the proof will be in the pudding. We're already past that stage in some limited ways, with some people and some AI's, but these limits will likely be overcome soon, and only some luddite holdouts will refuse to believe they're dealing with "real" people/beings.
