I would completely turn this around. LLMs have shown that people will credulously credit intelligence and 'human-like behaviour' to something that only presents an illusion of both.

- oska 2y agoI agree that the disagreement (when it's strongly held) is about a fundamental disagreement about reality. People who believe in 'artificial intelligence' are materialists who think that intelligence can 'evolve' or 'emerge' out of purely physical processes. Materialism is just one strain of philosophy about the nature of existence. And a fairly minor one in the history of philosophical and religious thought, despite it being somewhat in the ascendant presently. Minor because, I would argue, it's a fairly sterile philosophy.
