It's crazy how strong the Eliza effect is. Seemingly half or more of tech people (who post online, anyway) are falling for it, yet again.

A lot of tech people online also don't know how to examine their own feelings, and so think they are mysterious and un-defined.

When really they are an actual feedback mechanism, that can totally be quantified just like any control loop. This whole 'unknowable qualia' argument is bunk.
