Well algorithms don't think. That's what LLM's are. Your digital thermometer doesn't think either.

- roywiggins 10mo agoThe question is more whether LLMs can accurately report their internal operations, not whether any of that counts as "thinking." Simple algorithms can, eg, be designed to report whether they hit an exceptional case and activated a different set of operations than usual.

If people expected this I don't think they would be as confused about the difference between statistical analysis of responses requiring emotions to be convincing and an LLM showing atonement.
