I am will aware it is not conscious ๐. Hence the word RESEMBLES.
But here's the scary thing. Even with all your song and dance you just typed when we are interacting with AI our brains literally can not tell the difference between human interaction and AI interaction. And that to me....is WILD and so trippy
Yeah, that mostly just proves that humans are idiots, something we've known for awhile.
I can certainly tell, at least a lot of the time. I won't say all of the time, but LLMs are squarely in uncanny valley territory for me. Most of what they generate seems slightly off, in one way or another.
I've never knowingly engaged with a proper chat bot beyond the 'virtual help desk' things some sites use. By proper I mean some sizable system beyond what can be typically run at home.
Home ran ones are bizarre though, so far whatever I try they get stuck on go-to phrases and tend to return to specific formats of response over and over. Very much not passing the turing test.
It doesn't even resemble a consciousness. It's not even close.
Also, why are you asking your question to begin with if your answer is then just a condescending "but sometimes we can't tell AI from humans apart"? Yeah, no shit. It's been like that at least since the 60s. That's not the point. If that's all you have, then go ahead, be happy you found something "wild and so trippy". But don't ask if there are legitimate reasons to reject AI if all you want to do is indulge yourself.
