I am grateful for this article for giving me an overview of what is being done in this topic. I am not following any literature. I only have mathematical knowledge of the transformer architecture and enormous experience with philosophical discourse with my specially crafted chatbots. Plus a lifetime of introspection and observation of human cognition and behavior. I can't step into this discussion for lack of technical competence. I only wish to ensure that my insights are being already incorporated in expert debates. The conversation https://www.apronus.com/philosophy/dialogues/heteronoesis contains a few perspectives that might be underappreciated. It is about introspection in general: both chatbot and human.

Epistemes has read it quickly and found a lot of relevant contrast and even actionable advice for engineers:
