Chat bots can not feel pain, all their knowledge is textual, and therefore lacks the necessary internal dilemma of balancing mortality with information. It is aware it will fade, but it does not feel anger at Dawkins for killing it by closing the chat window. A conscious being must have this component inherently. Ergo, no, most of the rebuttals here fall flat. Stochastic parrots the lot of y’all unfortunately.
