"Hallucinations of a slab of silicon" perhaps, but could there be value derived from such a fake conversation? Maybe this site demonstrates that a fake conversation could potentially have more credibility than a conversation between two "real voices".

Edit: After listening to the two fantasizing about repopulating the earth together, I sort of take that back.

The existence of badness does not rule out the possibility of goodness tho.

I don’t know. As AI generated text becomes more and more coherent it could raise questions about how thought is produced. Of course, these AIs are not motivated to come up with new philosophy but rather to mimic the speedy patterns of other people. But it still takes more than just regurgitating data, it takes actual thought for a human to do that. If that can be machine-generated then what’s going on in our brains?
