Your mind runs on biology, which only pauses for sleep, death, and theoretically cryonics.
Practically, cryonics is currently just fancy death in a steel coffin filled with liquid nitrogen; but if it wasn't death, if it was actually reversable, then your brain literally frozen is conceptually not that different from an AI* whose state is written to a hard drive and not updated by continuous exposure to more input tokens.
* in the general sense, at least — most AI as they currently exist don't get weights updated live, and even those that do, the connectome doesn't behave quite like ours
Yeah, if an LLM is alive/conscious, it could only be so for the course of inference, so using chatgpt would be some kind of horrific mass murder, not a conversation with another sapient entity.
