I think most people understand that these LLM cannot think or reason, they're just really good tools that can analyze data, recognize patterns, and generate relevant responses based on parameters and context. The people who treat LLM chatbot like they're people have much deeper issues than just ignorance.
Then you clearly haven't been paying attention, because just as zealously as you defend it's nonexistent use cases there are people defending the idea that it operates similar to how a human or animal thinks.
My point is that those people are a very small minority, and they suffer from issues that go beyond their ignorance of these how these models work.
I think they're more common than you realize. I think people ignorance of how these models work is the commonly held stance for the general public.
You're definitely correct that most people are ignorant on these models work. I think most people understand these models aren't sentient, but even among those who do, they don't become emotionally attached to these models. I'm just saying that the people who end up developing feelings for chatbots go beyond ignorance. They have issues that require years of therapy.
The difference is that the brain is recursive while these models are linear, but the fundamental structure is similar.
The difference is that a statistical model is not a replacement for an emulation. Their structure is wildly different.
Bold words coming from a human. You're just some talking meat programmed through trial-and-error by evolution into approximating real thought. You weren't designed with intention, you're just a machine for regurgitating survival strategies. Fuck, eat, shit, that's your purpose. There's no intelligence behind the wet sacs you call your eyes.
How many electricity powered machines processing binary data via crystal prisms did we see evolve organically?
Organic intelligence is a myth. You're a philosophical zombie, imitating intelligence. Evolution does not produce intelligent creatures. You have no sensations, no consciousness, not even knowledge in the proper sense. Just bunches of neurons mindlessly imitating the external appearance of intelligence.
I wasn't appealing to nature I was explaining that the processes are completely different.
I don't listen to lumps of flesh regurgitating nonsense. It's scientifically impossible for meat to think.
I don't know if it's an urban myth, but I've heard about 20% of LLM inference time and electricity is being spend on "hello" and "thank you" prompts. :)
It's a very real thing. So much so that OpenAI actually came out and publicly complained about how it's apparently costing the company millions.
