    Here’s the thing, though: they would actually pass the VK, because they demonstrated an emotional response to the situation, since that was determined to be the deciding factor between replicants and humans in the Blade Runner world. Perhaps it’s still a failure in the sense that a replicant wasn’t detected, but its emotion that the test looks for.

      It’s my belief that it is a human conceit that emotions are the pinnacle of defining humanity.

      Emotions are in reality a simplified thought process. It’s why animals are capable of emotions. It’s an evolutionary survival mechanism that’s simpler and faster than rational thought.

      That’s why it’s easy for an LLM to simulate emotions but can’t see why you need to drive 50m to the car wash.
