Comment on LLMorphism: When humans come to see themselves as language models

Comments

I appreciate the general idea, but I don't like how this and other hypotheses of how human consciousness might work are immediately branded as "isms" and implicitly treated as psychological illnesses:

I distinguish LLMorphism from mechanomorphism, anthropomorphism, computationalism, dehumanization, objectification, and predictive-processing theories of mind.

There is an implicit claim here that any attempt to explain consciousness biologically or mechanistically must be wrong - which I think is a pretty strong and debatable claim on its own.
