Nope. Machines are soulless automations. LLMs are algebra at scale, there’s no solid evidence to suggest otherwise.

The capacity LLMs have to mimic human reasoning should not be mistaken for actual human reasoning (which, to be fair, we don’t even fully understand).

PS: I’m considering a definition of “soul” that includes anything spiritual, emotional, or conscious.

PPS: I’m open (and eager) to change my view based on solid evidence :)
