@GeePawHill@mastodon.social You're human. It isn't. You're smart. It isn't. You have purpose. It hasn't. You're my friend. It isn't. You could search for a chink in my armor. It can't. Those things are important to me in a moral discussion, more than in a question of code, where the word extrusion is helpful although synthetic. But I haven't tried it. Possibly word soup would bubble up things to think about. Maybe a friendly-seeming thoughtless robot could be a decent thought mirror. Eliza users thought so.

@GeePawHill@mastodon.social And one more thing: I care what you think. I do not care what it thinks, not least because it doesn't.

@GeePawHill@mastodon.social @RonJeffries@mastodon.social it's not a discussion, with it. It's a vector space search with a REPL. That might yield an unexpected example! But it's not going to yield connection or understanding, which you both value.
