When will this insufferable twat ever STFU?
The article links to his original writing on the topic as well, but I’m grateful I didn’t have to wade through it first-hand.
I am gratified that up to this point I haven’t really seen atheists seizing on LLMs as something to anthropomorphize just because it seems to validate that consciousness is 100% grounded in natural processes. Because they aren’t conscious, aware, nor possess understanding, nor do they contain abilities out of which those qualities would arise. We’ve even reached the practical limits of how many resources you can throw at them to improve accuracy.
I would discourage unbelievers and freethinkers from going down this road. As usual, Dawkins is a counterexample of how to proceed.
