Fuck AI

It's evident you do not understand because I never said this.

You claim LLMs can have feelings (which is what sentient means). As evidence, you cite the output they produce: If the machine says it's sad, it's sad.

You just make stuff up in your head to pretend is 'hard evidence'

No, I'm denying the existence of stuff you made up without hard evidence.

you are just trying to hurt a void's feelings by being what you think is mean to 'AI'

This accusation doesn't make sense. My entire argument is that LLMs don't have feelings I could hurt. How would I even try to hurt something I don't believe exists? I cannot be mean to a rock, or to Multiplication, or to a number. Why would I think otherwise?

I think you're projecting an assumption on me that you don't even understand is an assumption. You don't know what I'm talking about because I'm questioning something you consider objectively true and can't step back to re-examine.

So let me be clear about my position: I fundamentally reject the notion that an LLM can feel anything, including guilt. I do not believe that guilt can make it change its behaviour because it doesn't feel guilt.

So when you talk about solving actual issues, the fact that you believe in guilt as a solution is a problem itself because it gets in the way of an honest, useful approach.
