    a computer can read this text far faster than any of us.

    I think you missed the comprehend part.

      No i didn’t. Feed a book into chat GPT. You will see what fast comprehension is. I think you missed the consciousness part.

      Stop being an ass.

      Edit: The average person knows approximately 15-20,000 words. This is between 14 and 15 bits minimum to address every word independently. But I’m no brainologist, and I don’t know that’s how processing speech actually works. This is all just for comparison to bitwise operations.

        comprehension - the action or capability of understanding something.

        LLMs don’t understand anything they read.
