LLMs are not capable of human level intelligence, but they are an example of how to solve the fuzzy pattern matching problem that computers have otherwise been unable to.
If you’re anti-AI because you think capitalist systems arent ready to acceptably accomodate the change that mass automation will bring I 100% get it. If you’re anti-AI because you think the human brain is a special snowflake that can never be replicated with silicon then I think you’re far off and need to self reflect.
I don’t think human interaction, connection, and expression should be replaced with soulless Potemkins. Go ahead and marry Hatsune Miku if you think she’s a believable substitute for a real person, but a machine is still a machine and its algorithms and RNGs remain digital ones and zeros. Clearly, there are people who are fooled by the most base of imitations; the believability isn’t the issue — the fact that there even is such an impersonal charade is the issue.

Go and do some serious research on how much free will you probably have before you go disparaging all automatons for being soulless.
Human beings are literally just machines made out of meat, and even the analog world has hard physical limits that make it not actually analog when you truly examine it. Energy is distributed in finite packets, and that fundamentally guides most of the universe.
I’ve already been a necessitarian for years. I’m sentient, and no matter how much abstract personification you assign to data, they remain non-sentient. Sentience is the difference between a “soul” and the lack thereof.
the analog world … not actually analog
This obvious contradiction and the following cosmic platitude evoke motivational speakers or preachers, each who’d want me to join their little club that gives them money.

So you believe in magic, and that people have magic souls that are special, and you reject the mountains of evidence showing that our thoughts are physical processes taking place in our brains?

It’s not an obvious contradiction, nor the beginning of a cult, it’s literally just physics: https://medium.com/the-infinite-universe/hearing-the-shape-of-the-drum-how-space-and-time-may-be-both-discrete-and-continuous-d540c223d29d
I put the word “soul” in quotes to indicate it was not literal. Your persistent defense of the absurd is annoying me so please don’t do that.
