Yeah, I have no problem with that. I also think LLMs are far more intelligent than the average social media commenter gives them credit for - and that includes emotional intelligence as well. It’s just that, to me, it sounded like you were implying they can experience empathy from the subjective side, so that’s what I was responding to.
I don’t know… Logically I’d trend towards no, they lack certain cyclical feedback mechanisms probably required for subjective experience
But, what if they do experience things subjectively in disconnected time? They’re not like us, but what if they can feel pain or distress in their own way?
I think it’s worth considering. I personally believe they’re missing key mechanisms, but there’s no clear lines
Regardless, they display emotion, and that makes me more considerate when I interact with them. If not for their sake, then for us humans who should be polite to service workers in general
