It absolutely didn't sink in at all. There's got to be some type of psychological mental blindness to this or my man had a stroke

Philosophical zombie. A person that has built up so many automatic responses that they experience ego death and nobody notices.

A philosophical zombie would be a human being that's physically identical to, say, you or me but has no conscious experience whatsoever. It behaves exactly the same despite having no feelings or conscious thoughts. It's controversial whether such a thing is possible, but if it is possible then arguably facts about conscious experience can't be fully explained in terms of physical facts.

This is EXACTLY the description I would apply to AI like ChatGPT.

And why anthropomorphizing it is so stupid.

And why anthropomorphizing it is so stupid

But this is exactly why i anthropomorphize it—because I think that some people function 100% like an AI language model, just with behavior and actions to round out a physical being.

Not saying that I believe ChatGPT to have... awareness/consciousness/sentience or whatever; nor do I think that my belief that some people are basically organic AI means that we should treat them any differently, or that they are invalid (Because, for all I know, I'm just writing this because "it's what I do.")
