When's the last time a friend said hello to you in person and you just ignored them?

When's the last time you messaged me unprompted?

These seems like bizzare objections, a system can only act in the way that it can act. A tree is never going to get up and start walking, why would a LLM ever start a conversation unprompted? That just isn't how the system can behave.

You are just as limited by deterministic physical processes in your brain as an LLM is in a cpu.

They are not. The challenge is the turing test, and due to these behaviours they fail. It is as easy as that, and the objections are valid.
