Reupping for pub day for SEARCHES by Vauhini Vara (that’s who is quoted here, despite Substack making it look like my own quote!)

The thing about large language models is that they not only don't represent an individual perspective, because they're just these statistical models, but also they're not conceiving of an addressee the way that we humans conceive of an addressee. So basically, the entire function of communication breaks down because they're not doing the same thing.
