So you STILL think that AI understands what it types??

GPT cannot act by volition, but only respond to prompts.

Can you act by volition or are you just responding to prompts issued to you by your subconscious, your biological programming and external stimuli?

Wouldn't it be cute if your volition/free will were just an illusion?

GPT is dead until it gets an input.

Even when it gets an input. It is dead because it is not alive.

True.
So I meant in the sense it cannot be aware, conscious, or have understanding, being inert wthout contact.

Some people are that way too

Well, no. They breath and their hearts beat. THey eat food. Eating entails desire. GPT has none of these things.

It was a joke. Dead should not be taken literally. Some people don’t initiate conversations.

What do you mean by without contact"?
I think this is also what GPT was reporting in the small interaction I had with it. It agrees it is not aware, conscious, or able to have understanding.

Conact with an input, such as a question, I mean.
I'm glad that GPT "agrees" with me, though I understand what I mean, it does not.

It cannot "Agree" at all.

though I understand what I mean, it does not.

You understand what you mean. GPT cannot even give an opinion on what it thinks you mean.
