Whatever definition you settle on, it would be more sensible if it didn't disqualify the works that immediately come to mind when we say 'sci-fi' despite them usually exhibiting bad relativity and thermodynamics. I don't

This stops being an interesting philosophical problem when you recognise the vast complexity of animal brains that LLMs fail to replicate or substitute.
