And lastly, I do want to make clear that I am not against positive frameworks of cognition and epistemology. I have my own, so obviously I love such discourse!

No one needs to believe what Anil Seth, Ned Block, Giulio Tononi, or I think about mentality to agree that chatbots lack recursive selfhood.

This thread is long enough so I am not going to refute proponents' evidence, you can read that here if you would like:

Mais voila, c'est à ça que ça sert la philosophie

Pas merci pour la découverte @LeNouvelEssai

Not only are the evidentiary grounds insufficient to claim chatbots are conscious, proponents must address the ELIZA Effect and the copious evidence that humans did not evolve similar psychological detection mechanisms against linguistic simulacra that we have toward visual and aural imitation.

The authors do briefly present on this point, but I think challenging chatbot consciousness believers' evidence must be the core of the rebuttal rather than promoting a consciousness framework.

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol witnesses this gesture as the peace talks begin...

Je ne commenterai même pas les titres et leur lien avec les profils des intervenants

Given that no machine with recursive selfhood has been demonstrated to exist, the burden of proof for chatbot consciousness rests upon its advocates--not on their opponents.

And the proponents' claims are extremely weak.

While I certainly agree that chatbots are not conscious and do not possess persistent selfhoods, I think it's better to focus on the specific evidentiary claims put forward by chatbot consciousness believers than to claim that unproven theories (including my own) of consciousness exclude them from mentality.
