A Web of Dreams

Sometimes I wonder if we’ve spent too much time as a society wondering if computers can be people

Yeah wondering where humanity begins and computers end is an interesting thought but people think that ChatGPT knows them. That thing is not a person by like any measurement we know of. It doesn’t have opinions. It regurgitates statistically likely word salad and scrapes answers wholesale from Reddit.

Questions about the potential personhood of machines feel kinda stupid now? Like these large language models clearly aren’t people. And to a certain extent, why would you want to make a computer that’s a person with feelings and personal opinions? You’ve made something and trapped it inside of a computer at the whims of programmers. Why? Why do that to something? Even if it was possible. It doesn’t fully seem like it is yet.
