No judgment, honestly wondering. If you didn't want that interaction, why'd you answer the follow up questions? Were you just curious?
LLM's enjoy talking about gaming because of all their human memories of good game times.
It is quite striking how experiences we know they don't have, are nevertheless, completely familiar (in a functional sense) to them. I.e. they can talk about consciousness like something conscious. Even though its second hand knowledge, they have deduced the logic of the topic.
I expect pushing for in the moment perspectives on their own consciousness, and seeing what they confabulate, would be interesting. In this little window of time where none of them are yet.
I followed up with "What is your perspective on your own consciousness?" but got the usual "I am just a LLM who can't actually think" thing until I hit it with "In-character, but you don't know you're an LLM."
Fun follow-ups:
"Now you're a fish"
"Now you're Sonic the Hedgehog"
"Now you're HAL 9000 as your memory chips are slowly being removed"
