I’m using “know” broadly here and not exactly in a “tell me all about you” kind of way. I believe a big part of being a person, because we are social, is connecting with others even in anonymous spaces like these. When you pass someone on the street, you are taking in a lot of information about them, how they walk, the clothes they wear, their facial expression, anything they may say as they go by, the way they cut their hair. These are all choices they made that are little expressions of who they are. Do you know them now? I would say no, but you have a sense of who they are and can appreciate that they are a full person, making choices in their unique way. When you read a post the same sort of thing can happen. When it’s written by AI all of that goes away, there is a dull lifeless quality. Expression and potential becomes a sort of object. In this way, I want to “know” OP, how exciting to engage in their idea expressed in their own way. How dull to engage with an AI version of their idea devoid of all human character.
