That's a damn good point. It could be chat bots talking to chat bots all the way down and we'd never know the difference.
This is a quality of the kind of knowledge we deal in here. Compared to first-hand experience, it is a lesser quality of knowledge. A trashy knowledge if you will.
Is it solipsistic in here or is it just me?
Yeah, solipsism.
Consider that when you read, there are 2 sources of information, the arrangement of the words and the meaning of the words. The arrangement comes from the screen the meaning comes from you. Which is the bigger hunk of information?
Idk, I'm too chilly to think about it. Can you turn up the temp of my brain vat bath?
Do you think that chatbots woukd be aware that they are a chatbot?
Of course not. Why?
