Hot take: The reason why so many people think ChatGPT can be sentient or even divine is that capitalism has atomized us so badly, many of us forgot what it's like to talk to an actual human being. (hexbear.net)

If you have an accountant, is that a person you pay to pretend to give a shit about your taxes? Is an orthopedic surgeon someone you paid to pretend to give a shit about your broken leg? You should be able to recognize why this would be an unhealthy and unhelpful framing device.

I just don’t agree that these are good analogies.
