    LLMs operate off of weighted values. When a query is made, it checks those weights to determine what’s the most likely response. It doesn’t understand anything, its just based on what is most likely to be said next. Hell, I think it was chatgpt that had code get leaked or something and its literally just a series of if else statements.

      That’s how the neurons in your brain work too, silly. It checks how many excitatory neurotransmitters were received from the axons of the prior neurons. Yet you don’t see anyone advocating for you to work without pay. Hopefully.

          Look, when a query is made to one of your neurons, it just checks a list of weighted values to decide what you’ll think. You’re not actually intelligent, you’re just a pattern-matching machine built by evolution to return whatever action will help you get food and sex so you can pass on your genes. It’s all predetermined by your neurotransmitter receptor densities. You’re not sentient.

          We have a very good understanding of the anatomy of a neuron and how an action potential is transmitted across a synapse. Nowhere in there is an organelle that creates consciousness. You’re a p-zombie; an unthinking automaton.
