I agree. I'm just pointing out that the meaning of the word "think" already applied to the silicon substrate pre-ai, so just saying it's still applicable isn't that compelling.

But yeah, I am fully willing to believe that a silicon based life form could think and be alive. i just don't think we're there. Yes this thing speaks using a passable imitation of the voices of PhDs and poets, but in a way a simulated annelid is more alive.
