    I’m having a hard time imagining a decision that can’t be language based.

    You come to a fork in the road and choose to go right. Obviously there was no language involved in that decision, but the decision can certainly be expressed with language and so a large language model can make a decision.

      But I don’t make all my decisions linguistically. A model that did would never act as I do.

        It doesn’t matter how it comes to make a decision as long as the outcome is the same.

        Sorry, this is beside the point. Forget ChatGPT.

        What I meant was a set of algorithms that produce the same outputs as your own choices, even though it doesn’t involve any thoughts or feelings or experiences. Not a true intelligence, just an NPC that acts exactly like you act. Imagine this thing exists. Are you saying that this is indistinguishable from you?

          “Is something that acts exactly like you act indistinguishable from you?”

          Well, yes.
