Kottke literally addresses that.

> When you’re really in your feelings, even the worst movie or the cheesiest song can resonate with you and move you — just the tiniest bit of narrative and sentiment can send you over the edge. ChatGPT didn’t really make me cry…I did.

Nah, that doesn't feel like they addressed what I was hinting at.

Also, strictly speaking, its always yourself that makes you cry. And touchy people, or "zu nah am Wasser gebaut" trigger that more easily, thats all.

You're right. My point was that you're wrong because he literally said what was happening.

[lynx23]

Sure, they said they know what is going on. The essence of my statement was that they don't know yet :-) You're assuming self-reflection is always perfect, I am saying they are on a path... I don't really see a contradiction here...

Kottke, as an often self-reflective writer, is likely to know much more about his internal mental state than you do. That's my point. So it's not so much that I am assuming he has perfect self-reflection as it is that your wild speculation is much more likely to be off the mark than accurate. That's all I meant.
