Raw LLM Responses

I’m with you. From the outside, LLMs are _effectively_ conscious, as in basically indistinguishable in Turing tests if properly set up. I’d even argue that discussing with 90% of human redditors would feel more mechanical than talking to a LLM, due to how rigid their opinions are. Looking at an LLM’s inner workings makes sense, of course, but human brains also work wildly different. I for example don’t have an inner monologue. People who do would surely consider my mind to be completely alien—and vice versa. It’s a philosophical dilemma of no consequence.
