I think LLMs seem very human if you just accept their humanity without exploring it. You can have what appear on the surface to be deep conversations, and they seem very knowledgeable about many topics. They even claim to have feelings and thoughts of their own. Of course, all of this collapses quickly under scrutiny, but a lot of people won’t do that.
I must be doing something wrong. I have not once used any LLM and thought to myself that’s its conscious and I want to be its friend. Am I broken?
Clearly you haven’t been talking to enough blindingly stupid people.
You touched too much grass

It can’t be that stupid, you must be prompting it wrong.
