    "It’s true that there’s some debate among philosophers and scientists over whether AI models think or feel, but even saying that’s probably lending the AI-is-sentient-camp a little too much credence. Fascinating a possibility as it is to consider, there’s no consensus that AI systems have these experiences.

    It’s a testament to how defensive, if not cultish, that AI advocates have become that merely suggesting that large language models don’t think, let alone in the way humans do, is cause for indignation. Even supposing that it’s possible that AIs are already experiencing human-like emotions, why not err on the side of caution and stick to language that doesn’t bias us in favor of viewing these things as already alive, especially when there’s a trillion dollar industry at work trying to hype its tech as a powerful force that we should let change our lives?"
