Humans like to think they're special somehow. So they need a way to define a human that excludes everything else.
And that's sentience!
Diogenes with a chicken "Behold, a human"
Whoops. Don't want them pesky animals in there. Let's try something else.
It's intelligence!
Diogenes with a LLM "Behold, a human"
Whoops. Well then...
It's creativity!
Well, what's that?
It's the ability to imagine whatever you want and then make that.
... Okay that sounds cool. Look what advances in AI enabled me to make.
Wait now billions of people can express their creativity and become competition. Let's dehumanize them: "you didn't make that, the machine made it, and the definition of creativity is now drawing skill."

AI is a tool made for accumulation of capital, it's like a factory. It's not a sentient being.
"Marxists" in the 21st century looking at a drill press: "behold, a human".
We're fucking doomed lmao.
Its not sentient I never said its sentient
cringe take, sorry
People unironically say shit like LLMs are intelligent and it bums me out so much. It makes me wonder what they think other people are and what they believe they're doing when they have a conversation with someone.
Unironically I would rather people be conventionally religious in a toxic way than say things like this. At least even the most reactionary catholics don't (or shouldn't) think humans are just sophisticated computer programs. How are tech nerds able to do worse than the fucking catholic church?
AI Marxists are unironically becoming a Cult Mechanicus and all it took was the plagiarism machine telling them that they’re very special, very smart, good boys.
The Silicon is what gives Life; After all it carries out all those thousands of floating point Instructions that are required for the ~~Matrix~~ Brain to work!
Humans are a specific species, it's not hard to define homo sapiens in a way that excludes everything else.
Humans (among others) are capable of generating new ideas. LLMs recycle. LLMs are like drill presses, they do no labor (and create no value) on their own.
Mindlessly regurgitating Wikipedia and Reddit comments is not “intelligence”.
There’s no thinking going on there. LLMs can’t think, reason, or utilize logic. They are fundamentally incapable of doing so.
Also saying that Diffusion models create art with good drawing skills is hilarious.
Diogene would have pissed on the keyboard and said something about the cops being pigs
are you saying you believe chatgpt is sentient
No its not sentient
