I'm having a hard time imagining a decision that can't be language based.

You come to a fork in the road and choose to go right. Obviously there was no language involved in that decision, but the decision can certainly be expressed with language and so a large language model can make a decision.

    But I don't make all my decisions linguistically. A model that did would never act as I do.

    It doesn't matter how it comes to make a decision as long as the outcome is the same.

    Sorry, this is beside the point. Forget ChatGPT.

    What I meant was a set of algorithms that produce the same outputs as your own choices, even though it doesn't involve any thoughts or feelings or experiences. Not a true intelligence, just an NPC that acts exactly like you act. Imagine this thing exists. Are you saying that this is indistinguishable from you?
