      I can prove to you ChatGPT doesn’t have a mind. Just open up the Sunday Times Cryptic Crossword and ask ChatGPT to solve and explain the clues.

        I’m confused by this idea. Maybe I’m just seeing it from the wrong point of view. If you asked me to do the same thing I would fail miserably.

          Not the original intent, but you’d likely immediately throw your hands up and say you don’t know, an LLM would hallucinate an answer.

          But some humans can, since they require simultaneous understanding of words’ meanings as well as how they are spelled

            What should we conclude about most humans who cannot solve these crosswords?

            It should be relatively easy to train an LLM to solve these puzzles. I am not sure what that would show.

      Well there are 2 options:

      Either I’m a real mind separate and independent of you or I’m a figment of your imagination.

      At which point you have to ask yourself: why are you so convinced you’re an unlovable and insufferable twat?
