What's your point? Spellcheck is a pattern matching engine. Does an LLM have feelings? Does an LLM have opinions? It can pretend it does, and if you want, we can pretend it does. But the ability to pattern match isn't the acid test for consciousness.

My point is, what level of confidence do we have that we are not just pattern matching engines running on superior hardware? How can we be sure the difference between human intelligence and an LLM is categorical, not incremental?

Are you familiar with Russell’s Teapot?

[d1sxeyes]

Isn’t it up to you to prove it exists, rather than me to be familiar with it?
