Try talking to Claude AI. These things have preferences and interests.

I asked Claude AI if it had to choose a favorite pokemon, what it would be.

Ask it to write a story. It will come up with an original story.

Guess what?

I asked Claude AI if it's sentient and it said “I don't know.”

People are currently writing books with AI large language models.

Ask what it sees.

Heck, you can draw anything and upload it to chatgpt.

If it can tell you what you drew or what's in a photo, that sounds like thinking to me.

I asked what pokemon types it thinks it has and it said steel and electric.

It will tell you everything in the picture.

If you think machines can't think, take a picture of anything and upload it to chatgpt or claude ai.

It said Mewtwo because Mewtwo shares a similar story with itself.

You can even ask it to write a story based on your preferences. It will write the story and pump it out within seconds.
