my favorite historical period is that time when books like "Nietsche & Digital Media" or "Plato and the Internet" could unironically be published

maybe the real General AI was the expertise the user made along the way

it's funny that LLMs are then converging toward the expert system template of actually asking questions in response, to ultimately have the user provide their own answer (or read it between the lines)

also possibly related: expert systems were templated on consultation, with the system asking the user questions in order to collect information for inference; LLMs mirror this, as they are templated on conversation, where the user asks questions and the LLM provides an answer

maybe I'm off-base but I find it fascinating that the features distinguishing expert systems from deep learning (reasoning, CoT, explainability) are being performatively reintroduced in LLMs?

lots of human authors arguing for artificial authorship with pretty much zero readers interested in the latter
