    Drag chooses to respect your identity as a non-statistical model. Drag’s opinions are not as important as the way you feel, and drag will make an effort to avoid upsetting you by referring to you in the wrong way.

      This is not about identification. I am a human (which is not a social construct) which exists in the real world. Statistical models don’t exist in an onthological sense.

        Drag wonders whether you’ve changed your mind about LLMs being statistical models, or whether you’ve decided there’s no such thing as LLMs.

          They don’t exist in an onthological sense, yes. (They are completely deontological; they don’t exist in the real world via representation, like vectors or matrices)
