I don't know, do we? What I do know is that it's much less a concern since toasters have no agency or ability to do anything. Unfortunately, LLMs do not share this trait. Not only have they been incurring greater agency and competence, but we've been just as happy to put them behind as many things as we can as they get better abd better.

So you tell me, is it smart to look at an entity that behaves like a concious agent and treat it like a toaster? Does that seem especially wise to you? If GPT-X orders a drone hit on you because it was, lets say 'quite upset' with your comments, will you cry out, 'It can't really be upset, so obviously the bullet in my head doesn't count.' Will God answer ?

It's amusing how silly these debates are. Constant quibbling about things that don't matter at all.
