When I think about how so many people believe (or at least pretend to believe) that AI and LLMs are sentient and conscious beings interacting with them...
I think of the children's book from 1986 about computers that I read at my local library. I still remember the first page reading:
"Computers are not alive. Computers do not have any feelings."
I think this topic needs to be seriously revisited. We're entering dangerous territory as a species.
