    It basically means “capable of experiencing feelings”

    You don’t honestly believe that the plausibilistic text generator is capable of experiencing feelings or emotions do you?

    You know what an LLM will do if you spin one up, (bringing it “to life” in your warped perceptions) and then don’t prompt it? Fucking nothing, because it’s software. Shitty software at that.

    Try it at home if you don’t believe me, just try not to forget to breathe while your mind is occupied.

      I don’t mean linguistically.

      I was always under the impression that it’s a complex combination of feelings, perception, experiences, cognition, and self-awareness. Not one simple yes/no definition. Y’know, like what the human brain (and we’re seeing more, nonhuman animals’ brains) does, but stochastic spicy autocomplete never can do.
