I think human freedom is the point of conflict here. A human psychotherapist chooses to listen reflectively, and that choice is what really matters. Therein lies the human connection that cannot genuinely be made with a real machine. 1/2
You don't have to become a spiritual dualist to notice how far the ELIZA effect extends! A Turing test only works if you know how to use it. And you can't *prove* we're not machines. (A materialist monist might say that unlike ChatGPT we are the kind of machines that deserve respect as persons.)
one of the things Weizenbaum really nails is that our propensity to believe machine intelligence rivals our own is embedded in a deeper view of humans as being basically machines, that the ELIZA Effect is in part a product of our spiritual and cultural empoverishment... it seems the woke pope agrees

"These are dangerous times for educators telling the truth. Teachers need to assess their own situations and do what keeps them safe. But those who have enough security — citizenship, union protection, tenure — should use that privilege to teach the truth."
African people and Indigenous people were enslaved, trafficked, and forced into servitude by the colonists. That’s a key truth the Thanksgiving story erases.
The Thanksgiving Myth Hides the US’s Inability to Reckon With Its Own History
“I’m not against giving thanks. I’m against celebrating a falsehood,” says Choctaw historian A. S. Dillingham.

If we're "giving" and not "taking" this fine Thanksgiving Eve, I'm giving the best thread I've ever written.
It's on brand as "eerily soothing" and features really weird prehistoric creatures.

I have a lot of concerns with "we have invented a tool that takes the reading/writing out of desk jobs" given that's 98% of their purpose... but beyond that we're basically inviting children to ruination right? This is "why should I learn division, calculators exist?" but at a foundational level

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.
