    I’m curious. Do you thank your fridge? I think of chatgpt as a tool with no identity for me to thank, let alone the emotions to feel gratitude. Am I weird?

      Sure. Why not? It has the same amount of agency and emotional capacity as an LLM but it’s the reason that I have access to all manners of foods that my ancestors couldn’t dream of, as well as cool, filtered water and ice. Definitely worth being thankful for it (and the engineers, scientists, miners, and others that made it possible).
