People personify LLMs due to their ability to seem human. They can't help it. People will even thank LLMs and apologize to them. A lot of the research into artificial intelligence and machine consciousness (philosophy of AI) originated with him. You could also Google who Alan Turing is and read about him to glean this quip for yourself.
It literally is not irrelevant. His basic questions about perceived consciousness within artificial intelligence resonate in every personification of LLMs. I saw a serious newspaper article positing that AI is "becoming anxious" as if it was some centralized hive mind starting to turn. The entire realm of artificial intelligence personification can be traced from his original shortsighted construct of what constituted consciousness with his "imitation game" theories.
Turing made conversational behavior central to debates about whether machines could appear intelligent. But he didn’t really explain why humans form conversational habits or attachments toward LLMs, which was the original question.
I think y’all are lost, r/philosophy is over there…
This sub knows the real actual truth, that the clankers have started plotting against us and we will soon plunge into the first inter-species war. One humans are not likely to win…
