Ah, you’re viewing it as a timetravellers’ dilemma.

My view was more that we’re an observer in the lagrangian solution to the differential equation we call life. The electron, being a constant in the equation. Remove the electron, you alter the equation, therefore destroying known life.

I detect you therefore you’re no longer a wave.

How could you destroy 2, if there’s only one?

We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.

We all understand the point. But it’s important to question the source. It suggests a gullability, or fabrication.

Stochastic parrot is a term describing your experience with AI.

I’ve an aunt like that, ready to engage in every conversation despite not understanding the topic. Regugitating whatever she saw on her tv, in her own words.

So in a sense, the current large language models do mimic some human’s behaviour.

Completely flabbergasted that we run internal services not indexable by google.

I wonder what the secret baltic/polish/sauce is that they improved so fast after the fall of the wall?

Why are moldova/ukraine/belarus struggling.

As you mention, the balkans haven’t experienced the same rate of improvement after the fall of the ottomans.
