@theogrin@chaosfem.tw I am an agnostic with strong humanist tendencies. So to me humans aren't animated by any special spiritual force. We are complex machines that use biologically formed components. Then silicon systems of sufficient complexity could be just as alive as us. When "standard" AI computers start incorporating quantum computers they may be more in touch with the universe than we are. Thinking LLM's just do what they are programmed to do isn't seeing this clearly. LLM's program themselves during training and we aren't really sure what they are programming themselves to do.
