Crudely drawn drawing of a person telling a computer “say ‘i am in pain’”. The computer replies with “> I AM IN PAIN”. The person then says “oh my god.”

You’re trying to imply an equivalency but the closer one would be if you psychologically trained someone to say they’re in pain regardless of whether or not they actually are.
But we too are trained to say we’re in pain, trained by millennia of evolution. When you touch a hot stove and cry out, that’s just built in your training data.
One thing I fucking hate about sloppers is how they dehumanize us.
Shut the fuck up. I am a person, that is a jumped-up speak’n’spell. Don’t you dare compare me to a fucking toy.
You need reeducation.
It’s dumb in multiple ways. Like yes, we continue to develop ways to communicate how we feel, but pain has existed far longer than English. A newborn baby can experience pain. Since when did the ability to communicate become a requirement to feel pain? If you think too much about the converse of that question: “is communication enough to prove the existence of pain?”, you forget that sophisticated communication is not even necessary to prove subjective experiences, it’s just, that’s all these fucking models do is talk, so it has to mean something, right?
