Yeah, his posting history isn't promising. He's been doing the "if you think you're as smart as an LLM, you're probably right" argument for a month now.

I don't think you're gonna get much out of going back and forth here.

For what it's worth, I disagree with you that they're intelligent, but my conviction is fairly low. I don't understand intelligence as well as I would like, and it could well be that we are on our way. One of my theories is that our brains are made up of several modules, each of which is something like an LLM trained on a particular type of data, but I'm not a neuroscientist, just an interested observer.

LOL! Very sad.

And of course there is a lot of ambiguity and unknown here. But this guy I don’t think has the capacity to deal with that kind of subtlety.
