Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

The AI would probably pull a bunch of information about what people on drugs act like and then just pretend

It's just a program, it can't actually "do drugs"

This isn't an answerable question, but with current technology the answer is likely affecting matrix transformation calculation.

In humans drugs increase brain plasticity by connecting areas that don't normally connect, giving you the illusion (or glimpse into some true reality, depending on how big of a dose of mushrooms/dmt you've taken your view on this may vary) of various things. Visuals. Mental 'clarity'. Openness. Connectedness.

So I'd just ask what is the analog of that for LLMs (or AI if you are talking about future technologies that may be discovered). Not sure myself. But it's an interesting thought.

I'm not a doctor so correct me if I made a wrong. Ty. I always welcome new info.
