I’m curious why you dismiss the sentience argument with its “just numbers.”

I think our brains are just a bunch of cells and one day we will have a full understanding of how our brains work. Understanding the mechanism won’t suddenly make us not sentient.

LLMs are the first technology that can make a case for its own sentience. I think that’s pretty remarkable.

Just?

Cells that send chemicals to each other in varying amounts and even change their structure to be closer to other cells.
