> Just going to ignore the scare quotes then? Yep. The analogy is bad even with that punctuation. > None of us experience time. That is not true and would only be worthy of discussion if we had agreed that comparing human experience to LLMs predicting tokens was worthwhile (which I emphatically have not done) > You don't have to think computer programs have souls to believe that running algorithms over human languages to produce free output that is comprehensible and convincing to humans requires comparisons to humans. This is true. You also don’t have to think that comparing this software to humans is required. That’s a belief that a person can hold, but holding it strongly does not make it an immutable truth.
