I'm being 100% serious right now: go back and read that "spark of humanity" skeet and ask yourself if "He's saying LLMs have a spark of humanity" is an accurate or fair summary of it. Answer key: it is not.

It's literally in a subordinate clause talking about *an argument that machines can't think* (gesturing broadly at the Searle/Dennet Chinese Room discourse) and saying that that argument raises questions about how we should think about ourselves. He's right! It does! We've spent centuries on them!
