How is it a semantic argument? They're talking about how LLMs work on a functional level, not arguing the meaning of compassion itself. It's not hard to say that they *emulate* compassion and intelligence relatively well, applying human adjectives without any nuance just opens it up to being misinterpreted by people who don't know any better.

It's semantic because it's really about language. Who cares that it's not doing that like a human would, everyone who knows anything knows that and they were clearly using language in a less cumbersome way. yes, everyone already knows what you're saying, but it doesn't matter and serves no purpose other than making it difficult to talk about their behaviours. The only workaround for this would be inventing new terms for when an ai does a behavior that resembles a human one. It'd be very cumbersome and add no value to any conversation.

Because you cant prove that isnt how you do it either.
