No, I don't see any of this as a response to my positions at all. I must not have expressed myself clearly enough.
I'm not talking about getting scammed by SBF or whatever. I'm saying that there doesn't exist a definition of "thinking" that we can use to include or exclude LLMs from the group "beings that think". It's counterproductive to say they do or don't and is a distraction from useful conversation.
To say I'm not being critical when I clearly said I don't think it's likely that LLMs think feels disingenuous and, frankly, uncritical.
> By your own argument we can never define intelligence
In no way does that extend from my argument. Intelligence and thinking are separate phenomena, and I didn't say "never".
