Sentient and capable of suffering are two different things. Ants aren’t sentient, but they have a neurological pain response. Drag thinks LLMs are about as smart as ants. Whether they can feel suffering like ants can is an unsolved scientific question that we need to answer BEFORE we go creating entire industries of AI slave labour.
Show drag a scientific paper demonstrating that ants or animals of similar intelligence can’t suffer. You’re claiming the problem is solved, show the literature.
Big LLMs are far more complex, but they’re also made be people who don’t have a clue what they’re doing, so in the future we’ll probably have much smaller ones.

No, drag didn’t refer to dragself in the third person.

I PROMISE everyone ants are smarter than a 2024 LLM. (edit to add:) Claiming they’re not sentient is a big leap.
But I’m glad you recognise they can feel pain!
Cite a study that shows it.
BEEF DOESNT NEED STUDY BEEF HAVE KNOWING and knowing is half the battle GEE EYE JOEEE
