This comment shows up on every article that describes AI doing something. We know. Nobody really thinks that AI is sentient. It's an article in Time Magazine, not an academic paper. We also have articles that say things like "A car crashed into a business and injured 3 people" but nobody hops on to post: "Well, ackshually, the car didn't do anything, as it is merely a machine. What really happened is a person provided input to an internal combustion engine, which propelled the non-human machine through the wall. Don't anthropomorphize the car!" This is about the 50th time someone on HN has reminded me that LLMs are not actually thinking. Thank you, but also good grief!
