@pluralistic This whole "keep an open mind" attitude about whether LLMs are sentient is just dumb to begin with.
If you went to a magic show with the "open mind" of whether magic was real, you'd leave convinced that it was. Because the tricks are really convincing. The only way to keep a grip on reality in a magic show is to go in with a firm conviction that magic is not real. This is a rational approach, it is not a close minded attitude.
