No, they are abstractions over humans. A group of people is not a person, they behave differently than people even though they are composed of them. Abstractions are hard to compare but still much easier than people.

This is a meaningless difference that does not alter any of what I wrote.

You're just trying to evade dealing with the contradiction in your argument.

		It's not a meaningless difference, it's a crucial one. The contradiction only exists if you collapse all the differences between people and abstractions of people -- crucially that the former are people and the latter are abstractions -- and claim they're the same. Which they are not. Anyway, we've gotten far from the point, which is that LLMs are not people and you can't treat them as such.
