If I write a question to a chatbot and get a good answer (and they tend to be good) I instinctively look for, listen for, the person who wrote it. But there’s no one there. The resulting text feels to me boring - because I am not looking for good text but a simpatico mind. The reason to participate in the conversation is to be with other people, not to get a good text. (the other reason gp gp tp the chatbot is to further career, income, work - and this works. It is just not where I am jn my life - and may never have been. Caltech was not for me just getting credits but enjoying getting to know the world through the personalities - Feynman, Pauling, Bonnenblust. through which I learned how attitude and curiosity go together.
