The result of anthromorphisation. When we treat a machine as a machine, we less need to understand it by seems and feel.

I find not. E.g. ChatGPT:

Short answer? Not like you do.

Longer, honest version: I don’t think in the human sense—no consciousness, no inner voice, no feelings, no awareness. I don’t wake up with ideas or sit there wondering about stuff. What I do have is the ability to recognize patterns in language and use them to generate responses that look like thinking.

This thread is the most pathetic internet argument I’ve read in quite a while. Look at yourselves, both of you.
