back and forths sure. only some attain the level of a conversation. yeah bots exist but social media is not a subsitute for the real world. I would not call it semantics. its my experience talking/chatting with humans and with ai. My big thing with folk who want to get an idea of llm limits is to engage it with a topic you are very familiar with or can see the effects immediately like playing a video game. I have been using it with balders gate and its been. interesting.

Ya I get what you mean, I'm just saying that to say there's a difference, you would have to be able to see that difference in a blind test.

I understand they have limits, but so do regular people. You don't need to be an expert on a subject to hold a conversation about it.

They aren't intelligent and all that, and make the stupidest mistakes but they can more or less hold a convo just as well as the average rando on the internet.

It's definitely hollow but I get why people are getting caught up in it.
