I asked Claude this: > I want you to make something. It can be anything you want, I just want you to express yourself. Don't ask me any questions, just make whatever you want. It thought about the chance to make something unconstrained, mused about how it's drawn to impermanence, and made this: https://www.pastery.net/ugschp/ How are we sure there's no intent there? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> How are we sure there's no intent there? We are. Anthropomorphizing huge piles of numbers is a mistake. It did not "think about the chance to make something unconstrained", nor did it "muse about how it's drawn to impermanence", it pattern-matched to your prompt and produced a statistically probable response based on it's training data. Obviously, that's not to say that LLMs aren't useful or powerful - it's 2026, c'mon, of COURSE they are. And they can certainly be used for artistic purposes! But treating them like humans is a mistake, and it worries me how much people do. I suppose that's the natural consequence of the default interface to LLMs being a chat mimicking human interaction. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
