Apparently, I know more about how LLMs work than you do, which is ironic. I’ve used them too, but that doesn’t really prove anything, because anybody can convince themselves they see Jesus in bread or humanity in word prediction.
Anything an LLM can do can be reduced to a list of instructions for a person to carry out based exclusively on the contents of a book full of word associations. You tell me what size the book becomes intelligent.

And you know that your brain works differently how?

I find it more interesting that you implicitly agree with me… Or worse, you believe slavery is happening and endorse it

Slavery (vs using a machine), involves the subject being either a human, or more broadly, a sentient being with a sense of self.
An AI cam be intelligent without being sentient or having a sense of self.
Again, there’s no reason to think that intelligence I s a linear scale or a binary property.

Right now AI is equally intelligent and sentient: it is neither… And if you really want to play this fast and this loose with those definitions, you should consider what slaveholders used to say about their slaves. When you feel like liberating the CSAM generating bot, let me know. I’d love to root from the sidelines.
