Insightful article by a renowned Sci-fi author into the differences between humans and A.I. Our use of language and art has intentionality and meaning that LLM’s don’t possess. 📝

@lewism I've called this delusion 'La Stilla Syndrome', after a perceptive novel by Jules Verne. People believed it was a real live opera singer, even when they could see it was just a machine.

@writingslowly what a great name for it, that's going in my Zettlekasten! The name is so accurate as the implication of the origin story suggests we continue to fall for the same ruse seemingly at every new technological breakthrough.

@lewism please spread the word! La Stilla Syndrome. This is undoubtedly my one and only shot at immortality 🤣

@writingslowly sorry, I know it's a movie. but it started life as a TV pilot, which I can't get out of my head

@writingslowly actually it was great you notified me about the relevant post on your blog. I took a look through your site, it's really good & lots of interesting thoughts about zettlekasten systems. Your tiddlywiki system looks amazing, I did use tiddlywiki back in the day but it never stuck for me. Anyway thanks again!
