>What's the point of arguments as to whether this is sentient or not? After all, if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck...

My big counterpoint to this is that if you change the 'vector to word' translation index, it will do the same thing but spit out complete gibberish. If instead of 'I feel pain' it said 'Blue Heat Shoe,' no-one would think it is sentient, even if the vector outputs (the actual outputs of the core model) were the same

Not supporting the original comment, but poking at your train of thought here: Wouldn’t the same be true if we passed all of your HN posts through a cipher?

[RC_ITR]

No, because the poster would be able to recognize the comments as wrong, but LLM's cannot (since again, they 'think' in vectors)

Have you ever seen a person having a stroke? It's literally that.
