The ChatGPT of my brain (unreliable speech)

You ask me a question. I give a reply.

It sounds like a reply you'd expect to that question. The sentence strucure is right. The words mostly make sense - only a few odd ones but that is to be expected from someone who randomly replaces any noun wih dishwasher at any given moment without noicing. The words all make sense to follow each other.

It has nothing to do with whether or not I wanted to answer that.

Oh, it might be right. It even is a decent percentage of the time. That's the thing about the sentence generator being trained on data that includes statements I need to be able to make - some of what comes out in randomly comes out completely accurate.

It's also in many ways more dangerous for me for it to be accurate a decent percentage of the time but not always, since now you assume it always is.

The ChatGPT of my brain was trained by the behavioralism of my childhood. The I'm sure good at making things automatically sound like sentences without even recognizing speech is happening, not to mention having any clue what words are coming out, since making sentences that sound good is what the speech thing does, is real good at doing sentence generation. That says sentences. Where the data is complete nonsense and that's missed because people expect them to be sentences that sound good.

My unreliable speech is dangerous in part because it's fluent. My emergency speech is dangerous when its the speech that shows up because I've been trained speech is always supposed to show up. The fluency does not mean it says what I intend.

An LLM is far more likely to provide a meaningful response than my speech since its training data was not that of behavioralist trauma, and there is no way that LLM is something that can explain my wants and needs, not to mention the rest of communicative functions. Yet, LLMs get talked about how much they make up, and speech isn't seen as able to work in a similar fashion.

My speech does. My speech strings things together that sound good. My speech says things without regard to what I mean. My speech matches the rules, and doesn't match the meanings.

I have a sentence maker in my brain that makes sentences that look right because it knows how to make sentences. It's very good at making sentnces. That's what it does.

You tell me to make a sentence and for sure I can do that.

You ask me a question and for sure you'll get a response.

But that response sure might be something like this food I'm anaphylactic to is my favorite food and I want you to get some for me. That's a sentence that involves the topic you asked about that matches the patterns of Being A Sentence! (Please don't feed me things that would give me anaphylaxis because my speech Says Sentences.)
