LLMs have way more empathy and respect than humans do
Which makes sense, they’re not trained on our actions - they’re trained on our words
Comment on What would it take to make Gemini suitable to be president of the world?

Honesty, empathy and respect.
Good luck ever convincing me an LLM has any of those. I’m not even convinced most of humanity does.

LLMs are almost certainly unable to feel either of those emotions. Their responses are definitely more empathetic and respectful than those of your average social media commenter, but that doesn’t imply they have any subjective experience of such emotions.

LLMs undeniably display empathy, how or if they experience it subjectively is another matter entirely
But if you want to get philosophical and dive into how LLMs work, I have a strong argument that they have mechanisms that work very similarly to emotions, with or without subjective experience

Yeah, I have no problem with that. I also think LLMs are far more intelligent than the average social media commenter gives them credit for - and that includes emotional intelligence as well. It’s just that, to me, it sounded like you were implying they can experience empathy from the subjective side, so that’s what I was responding to.

Good luck convincing me a human world leader has any of those.
