In studying and building a Large Language Model (LLM) #AI chatbot system, I was shocked to learn that the chatbot has zero cognition, no understanding of #reason, logic or even sentence structures, and that it just uses probability parameters to spit out a sequence of words that "sound right" even if they aren't...

And then I realized this is exactly how half the population also operates. And most "journalists" as well.

I strongly suspect we are living in a cosmic computer simulation, and we are surrounded by NPCs (AI bots) who pretend to be sentient, but are actually just processing language scripts, without any cognition at all. If you want proof, just watch a bunch of Mark Dice "man on the street" interview videos and you will be amazed.
