An LLM is like a human's speech center severed from the rest of their brain, including the parts responsible for consciousness, reason, and memory. I think current level LLMs on the scale of ChatGPT are equivalent in intelligence to a chicken. Chickens are smart. They're also really dumb. It's a specialised intelligence. LLMs are basically animals, just specialised for something completely different than all extant biological animals.

Anyway, I think it's worth having a conversation about limiting the use of ANNs on vegan grounds.
