I think what puts people off about these models is that they are clockwork: they won't even spit out anything unless you put some words in the input. But i can imagine adding a second network that includes an internal clock that continuously generates input by observing the model itself, that would be kind of like having an internal introspective monologue. Then it could be more believable that the model "thinks"
