I hope to not offend "purists" by saying this is or isn't art, but it definitely made me reflect on how some people's existence, especially in their later years is not so far from this same essence...

LLMs "know" how it feels, or rather, reads to die. It definitely makes me feel quite uneasy, especially with the recent news of a teen's suicide aided by an LLM.

I think you're granting too much ability to a machine that simply completes text in a statistically appropriate way. What you're really getting is a summary of everything anybody has ever said on the internet that's even tangentially related, output in a way that seems like a continuation of whatever was prompted.

This can seem profound in the same way that a horoscope can seem profound. Any discussion about "existence" will call up seemingly philosophical quotes.
