Psychopaths can simulate empathy, but lack it.

Psychopaths also tend to eat lunch, but what's your point?

The point is simulating something isn't the same as having something.

Well yes, that's a tautology. But is a simulation demonstrably less effective?

Yes?

If you go looking to psychopaths and LLMs for empathy, you're touching a hot stove. At some point, you're going to get burned.
