I’m not sure how you interpreted it all, but neither I was talking about any foreseeable future (I explicitly said that I dunno if LLMs are somewhat relatable to all this), nor I’m a religious type (I merely used a term “spirit” because this language was suggested in the thread). Every example was picked and vetted from popsci books I’ve read, with real basis in neuroscience (in my layman understanding, obviously, so I could’ve gotten something wrong, but I trust that a bit more than an online diagnosis). That blending was a pretty naive mix of a bunch of sci-fi tropes, but point taken - proper writers indeed blur those lines a lot better than my mess of a post.
