Something I noticed whilst watching a video essay on Callosal Syndrome (this is a condition where the the bridge between the left and right hemispheres of the brain are severed, often deliberately) is that AI acts shockingly similar to the left hemisphere of the brain, which is the hemisphere that handles language.
The right hemisphere handles more abstract thinking, but the important thing; the thing that made me draw this connection, is that the right hemisphere, though unable to speak, still has motor control over the left side of the body, and if the right hemisphere causes the body to do something without the left hemisphere knowing the context, the left hemisphere will just make shit up to explain why the patient reacted in whatever way they did.
An example of this is that a patient was shown footage of someone being pushed into a fire to their left visual field, and the patient later remarked that they feel uneasy, and speculated that maybe the doctors in the study were making them nervous; and the left hemisphere will basically always do this; attempt to rationalize and make up reasons for why the body reacts in the ways that it does.
The fire example I gave is p ass, there are better examples in the video but the fire one is the simplest to describe.
Its so interesting how Language Learning Modules similarly to a disconnected human Language Cortex, at least to my eye.
Here's the video essay I was watching when I made this connection, if anyone's curious.
This is quite interesting. Thanks for sharing.
