It's getting downvoted in part because it's pedantic and wrong.

It is totally true that they don't think like humans, but this is mostly irrelevant.

The token outputs will change as a result of this particular input, and will be closer to the tokens in training data where people felt hurried or rushed or like their job was on the line.

That doesn't mean the LLM feels at all, but it's definitely going to push the output towards output that came from/was trained on people who were in that state, because the input will push it much closer to that latent space as it starts predicting.

As such, what you are saying is one of those rejoinders that is basically pedantic and wrong.

It is true they do not think, act, or feel like humans. But that doesn't mean it won't output text that looks like hurried or scared humans. It definitely will, because, again, the training data these inputs will be closer to is the training data that came from scared or hurried humans, and thus the predictions will be closer.

So either you don't think this will happen, which would mean you don't understand how the models work (or at least, you aren't giving any sense you do), or you do think this will happen but want to pointlessly argue that this isn't "human feeling", which is true but totally irrelevant to what words it will predict and therefore the actions it will perform.

Either way, i'd downvote you.
