There's been some criticism of researchers who mistook the stitching together of human-like sentences for actual consciousness.
I thought of that because The Atlantic recently pointed out some Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are actually leaning into promoting the idea they can build/own/market some corporate-controlled AI consciousness. (Many AI services "market themselves through what [tech journalist Karen] Hao calls the industry's 'tradition of anthropomorphizing': talking about LLMs as though they contain humanlike minds, and selling them to the public on this basis.")

I guess if you're posting here for a reaction: aren't you worried that you're inaccurately anthropomorphizing your service, right from the get-go?
I also found it hard to identify what it was trained on. (But surely it's just repeating snatches of previously-transcribed conversations?)
