Likening machine intelligence to inert hunks of matter is not a very persuasive counterargument.
What if it's the same hunk of matter? If you run a language model locally, do you apologize to it for using a portion of its brain to draw your screen?
Do you think it’s risible to avoid pulling the wings off flies?
I am not comparing flies to tables.
