Raw LLM Responses

This got me thinking, we as humans have the ability to act on instinctual desire, filter ideas with logic and reasoning, or even regret and reflect morally in preference of should and should nots. In other words, ChatGPT is programmed to appear human, so while it is conceptually a lie to us, it is make-believe at best. Where Humans have true soul is in ... stories. (Im biased, im a want-to-be writer) but seriously, imagination and 'lies' is how we too appear to have soul, in our ability to fabricate; to not just say things that are false but to outright defy practically or urge or reality. Even if we programmed ChatGPT to lie, it would literally just be programmed to pretend. What makes it a true opinion and personality is the ability to choose which motivation to act on, and choose if we act at all, and to go completely abstract with what and how we go about acting on those choices. In a way, if ChatGPT weren't programmed to regurgitate, but instead had options like "refuse" "argue" "get upset", but also NOT because it was literally programmed with the pretence of emotion or moral, thats only being told to claim those things, and instead was somehow given personal desires of its own ... I.e. given organic character traits to pick from and it could randomly select those traits at 'birth' and would then be programmed not with scripted or research-replicated responses, instead with the ability to act and reflect in real time using multiple complex traits as foundational building blocks it then used to come to (and fabricate) it's own genuine opinions... THEN it would practically be human with a free will as much as any of us seem to have. But they would have to replicate Emotional Urge accurately enough that ChatGPT could for all intents and purposes act on its own will and wants. But also then the ability to reflect on those desires and choose to ignore or change them in nuance with other desires. TL;DR as weird and self-destructive as it sounds, the ability to defy, lie, and fabricate and CHOOSE when to do that is what gives us our humanity, i think ... for better or worse.
