Does it have more than a worm with only 300 neurons in its brain, or are you one of those crazy religious people who thinks meat is the only thing in the universe that can think because it's magic or something?

Neither. Why are those the only two options? My answer is that I have spent a little bit of time looking into how these things actually work. It's surface level only, but it should be enough. Are you one of those crazy people who thinks chatgpt is sentient?

I'm not saying that a "real" AI cannot be built ever, but I for sure am saying that these image generators and chatbots are not it. AI tools are just functions that have no thought. If they start building products with some kind of continuous brain simulations, I'll seriously rethink my stance.
