    If your chatbot is exhausting you, stop talking to it, don’t double down at making them fake reactions. That only leads to more delusions and disconnect from humanity.

      Who's to say I disagree? If talking to a language model is exhausting for someone, they shouldn't do it. This isn't a solution to a problem. It's a gateway to a discussion. Why do we keep asking for AGI when we don't even know how to talk to ourselves? Or clearly, each other. With your sharp, presumptuous comment.

      Nothing in my article or statement warrants such hostility. Clearly you're unable to make the proper connections (or read to the end of an article) to understand this is all a metaphor and nobody here believes it's "real."

      If this were a pyschosis, I would be preaching that AI is alive. It's not. It's something else. A product of human intelligence and all of our strengths and weaknesses. There's a reason uncensored AIs can say some heinous shit. We put that there. Not the AI.

      This isn't a conversation about what's real. It's about what experiences do to us. And how it impacts the human. If we can read books, watch movies, and listen to songs that shape us, why would we treat a system built off the backs of that legacy any differently???

      Your response suggests you are scared about something. What is it you're afraid of?

        Who’s “we”?

        That’s what’s called a loaded question, the most common example being “have you stopped beating your wife?”. It’s a transparent tactic used to try to discredit others instead of providing a counter-argument.

          The entire industry is racing toward AGI, dingus. Take your misplaced anger elsewhere, please. If you think I'm championing our AI overlords, then you are horribly mistaken. I am not who you think I am.

          Also, note how you conveniently sidestep denying that you didn't read the article. Which means you didn't read the article. And your comment history suggests your favorite hobby is cherry-picking comments and reveling in trying to make people look stupid. So, I'm going to stop engaging here. The only person looking stupid right now is the one engaging in a hostile debate about something they didn't even bother to comprehend. Hell, you didn't even read my entire response.

          I hope you heal from whatever hurt you so much that it makes you act this way toward strangers on the internet. I promise you, nobody cares how angry you are but you.
