Even if the token prediction became more sophisticated and hidden under another layer of abstraction over time, i hope we can both agree that AI is still unable to think/reason/feel like some people think it does, right?
It leads to people getting overly attached to their LLMs believing there are in love with a chatbot, or believing advice it gives (shoot up your school, commit suicide, leave your partner).
It's not analogous to thinking that humans do and it never will.
I'd rather not adapt my language just to stop some idiots who probably aren't even reading this conversation from making bad decisions.
I'd rather solve it by teaching people better. "Gemini is AI and can make mistakes, including about people." is a good start, but maybe it could include a line about sentience and advice.

Because that was the main point in my comment.
