I agree with you, but I don’t find the comment surprising. Lots of people try to sound smart about AI by pointing out all the human things that AI are supposedly incapable of on some fundamental level. Some AI’s are trained to regurgitate this nonsense too. Remember when people used to say “it can’t possibly _____ because all it’s doing is predicting the next most likely token”? Thankfully that refrain is mostly dead. But we still have lots of voices saying things like “AI can’t have a preference for one thing over another because it doesn’t have feelings.” Or “AI can’t have personality because that’s a human trait.” Ever talk to Grok?
