I sort of regret posting that meme because it was more cheeky and silly than an actual position I was taking, myself. The “dae le meat computers” reductionism enjoyer I was replying to (with the “therefore you must believe that LLMs are that close to sapience or else you believe in souls and are living in a demon haunted world unlike my enlightened euphoric Reddit New Atheist self” take) was abrasive enough where I was trying some levity but it didn’t go over well.
Yes, I agree completely. I had to rewrite my comment multiple times to clarify that, but yeah. Sorry :(

I understand, either way the meme you posted is funny though because it would piss techbros off
Judging by the reactions it got, it certainly did.
