    One of the weirdest struggle sessions I had before I was away for almost a year was some smug computer toucher that directly invoked that movie for their argument for why LLMs were at least as sentient/sapient as us mere meat computers.

    Yes, others also brought up that it was fiction and fiction doesn't have to adhere to scientific or philosophical rigor, but that treat hog didn't care. We're all meat puppets and our consciousness is an illusion to them and the treat printer said "I love you" so it's just like it was for John Blade Runner, who would totally drive a Cybertruck morshupls

      Wow that is a tier of “missing the point the movie was making” previously thought only theoretically possible.

        They saw awooga hologram, and because death of the author and all that, they decided the movie was about how awooga hologram was just around the corner, just for them.
