Just as this site is terrible for discussing anything related to crypto reasonably because of an overabundance of emotional hatred and bad faith arguments, so too has it become bad for AI-related subjects due to an overabundance of wide-eyed emotional belief and bad reasoning in favor of AI. You routinely see arguments like "AI LLM models must be sentient because look at my cherry picked, very minor example X of one saying Y to me, just like a thinking intelligence!" Or " Well if you claim LLMs are just Markov chains and sophisticated stochastic parrots, how can you know that human's aren't exactly the same thing?" Well, no it doesn't work that way. The one making the fantastic claim needs to justify it, not the person claiming have unique traits based on thousands of years of evidence. And if that person can't even notice any difference between human self-directed behavior/reasoning and how something like GPT acts after being given ungodly amounts of text content to algorithmically filter through for a text response (and still often failing at answering even very simple questions), then that person is unlikely to use good reasoning for their notions of LLM sentience.
