Hot take: The reason why so many people think ChatGPT can be sentient or even divine is that capitalism has atomized us so badly, many of us forgot what it's like to talk to an actual human being. (hexbear.net)

If you have an accountant, is that a person you pay to pretend to give a shit about your taxes? Is an orthopedic surgeon someone you paid to pretend to give a shit about your broken leg?

Yes and yes. I'm hiring them because they perform a service in exchange for money. It's not reasonable to expect them to care on an individual level about my taxes or my broken leg, I just need them to do their job.
