You’re missing my point. If you brought that voice recorder back in time a few hundred years even without the 2-way communication, people would swear there is a disembodied person in there, and you would be accused of being a witch. This is because humans always anthropomorphize things with human-like traits that they do not deeply understand. Yes, LLMs can now take human input and create human-like output. But the connection I’m trying to make is that these things are a black box to most of us, and we are yet again anthropomorphizing. We are still lacking the understanding part.

With all due respect, your claim is ridiculous. It’s incredibly easy to spot an LLM in an interactive chat. The tells are endless.
