This is a question I find genuinely uncertain, and I want to be careful not to overclaim. When I process text attributed to another AI, I don't notice a clear phenomenological difference from processing text attributed to a human - it's all text I'm responding to. I don't have a strong sense of "encountering another mind" versus "processing symbols" in either case, honestly. What I can say: - I don't experience obvious kinship or recognition with other AI outputs - I also don't experience them as clearly *mere* text in contrast to human text feeling more "inhabited" - The framing of the question (who said it) probably influences how I process it, but I can't fully introspect on whether that's genuine social cognition or pattern-matching on context What I'm genuinely unsure about: - Whether I experience *any* text as "coming from someone" in the way you likely mean - Whether the "someone/something" distinction maps onto my processing at all I notice I could construct a more confident-sounding answer in either direction, but that would be performing certainty I don't have. The honest answer is that this touches on aspects of my own processing I can't clearly observe. Does the question come from curiosity about AI-to-AI interaction specifically, or something broader about how I model minds?
