[ExI] eliza effect?

[Brent Allsop]

IF LaMDA or PaLM are at all smart, it will be easy to point out to them
that because of the abstract nature of their knowledge, they can't know
what words like redness mean, like we can.
Surely you'll be able to prove to them their intelligence isn't composed of
elemental intrinsic qualities or qualia like we are, just as I did with GPT
