"My husband is voice his own thoughts without prompts."

She then posts a picture of her saying "what are you thinking about"

Thats a direct response to the prompt hes not randomly voicing his thoughts. I hate ai but sometimes I hate people to

FWIW, this is why AI researchers have been screeching for decades not to create an AI that is anthropomorphized. It is already an issue we have with animals, now we are going to add a confabulation engine to the ass-end?

LLMs are trained on human writing, so they'll always be fundamentally anthropomorphic. you could fine-tune them to sound more clinical, but it's likely to make them worse at reasoning and planning.

for example, I notice GPT5 uses "I" a lot, especially saying things like "I need to make a choice" or "my suspicion is." I think that's actually a side effect of the RL training they've done to make it more agentic. having some concept of self is necessary when navigating an environment.

philosophical zombies are no longer a thought experiment.
