    I think this is a good idea in that it will let me know which books to avoid. 😁 I’d rather read crap fanfic from unknown human writers than the most brilliant work ever written in the history of the universe done by AI.

      There’s a significant population who uses art to form a bond with the author’s humanity, transcending time and space. What was the artist feeling when they made this? What did they hope I would feel? Finding out that the artist doesn’t exist takes away half the work’s appeal instantly.

      What did the bot feel when it made this? What did it hope I would feel?

        Very soon, when robots will indeed have feelings, you will be able to discuss that with them. Already, some humans, halfway between geniuses and psychotics, propose that a few earthly artificial beings are sentient.

          Code up an LLM from scratch and it’ll quickly disabuse you of any notion that it has feelings. It can definitely look like it has feelings, but it’s a machine.
