| I'm willing to bet you've never sent a single word to a potato ever. And you send thousands to an llm. This is not about llm sentience. this is about the habit and skill of communication. |

| The comparison fails because I don't send numbers to my potatoes either, but I do send thousands to calculators without a please and thank you. Practicing communications skills with LLMs I can get, but asserting that people who don't are playing god? Getting off on power? |

It's right here in the comment section. one comment speaks of causing physical (simulated i guess) thousand year pain as a means of obedience. it's weird. | | |
