    • "In short, what AI lacks is exactly what misplaced anthropomorphizing grants it: volition and a sense of morality.
    • Those are the things that come from humans, and they come from the parts of humans that are not and cannot be transposed to markdown files.
    • They are intrinsic, and until AI figures out not how to build on our superstructure of writing, but to delve into the motivations that created writing in the first place, it will always be something distinct, and something that can be directed by entities with less intelligence but an actual internal sense of self."
