ChatGPT-4 itself agrees with me. It says it cannot solve the symbol
grounding problem for itself as it has no conscious experience, and says it
therefore does not understand the meanings of the words as humans do, and
that in this respect it is at a disadvantage compared to humans. See my
thread on the subject.


Spike also agrees these are only language analysis tools. Brent also seems
to agree that they have no access to referents and therefore  no way to
know meanings of words.

And this is not democracy, in any case. I’m not afraid to be in the company
people who disagree wit me.
