Theres this somewhat unfortunately named thought experiment called a Chinese room. The idea is to imagine someone writing in Chinese on a card, putting that card into little mail slot in a mystery room and some time later recieving an answer. Inside the room is just some guy that doesnt read or speak Chinese - but hes got this big book that if he looks up the characters he can find an answer that he copies and pushes out.

The person on the outside is having a conversation, but the guy inside isnt doing any understanding. He just looks up characters that look similar and copies what the book says to do, then serving it. Like a chatbot or a markov chain or even GPT2/3.

This person has become a Chinese room. Instead of reading, thinking critically, they have become so dependent on the system and so propogandized that conversational pathways have been bolted onto their brain that makes them write and think shit like "collective decision making over the surplus we make is slavery, oligarchic decision making over the surplus we make is true freedom." All without understanding what they're saying. Conversation without understanding.
