This is so fucking dumb. All this is saying is that the researchers do not understand what LLMs actually are - that is, that they’re essentially just a bunch of markov chains layered on top of each other. They are not sentient or sapient.
Stop fucking anthropomorphizing LLMs
Have you considered the possibility that the kinds of researchers who publish in nature may have taken the time to do some basic research into how llms work before commissioning a study, and that may not be what’s happening here?
