@codinghorror As a long-time skeptic, who has only found value from the LLMs in the past two months... all of this is very weird.
It's like arguing about the soul or emotions of Excel vs Numbers, or Word vs WordPerfect, or a screwdriver vs a hammer. The tool does a thing that is useful or it doesn't. Why are we talking about Pachinko machines as if they're human?
