Retired philosophy professor of thirty years and founder and publisher of Cathode Ray Zone.
The AI cheerleaders also seem to have forgotten that many of our subjects involve distinctly human engagements and responses: beauty; value; obligation; virtue — they all presume human feelings, sentiments and perceptions that statistical aggregation software (which is what AI is) lacks. How is LLM software going to help a philosopher understand things it cannot feel, see, hear, or care about?
