Opinion: The discussion about LLMs feeling "pain" is ridiculous.

The discussion about Large Language Models (LLMs) feeling "pain" is considered ridiculous, despite a GitHub repository being taken down for an LLM "torture chamber." While the repository's removal is supported, the idea that LLMs experience pain is dismissed. LLM weights are stored in VRAM on GPUs, similar to data on a hard drive, and there's no meaningful ethical distinction between them. Currently, LLMs are not continuously active or experiencing, thus they do not feel pain in any significant way, though this opinion could change with future AI developments.
