Conversation: AI: An Interface to the Internet?!
LLMs and Image Generators are trained (more or less) on all the data on the internet. They are basically models of the internet with an interface to access its meaning. What emerges from there is not a description of reality. It is a lens, a mirror, or a screen through which we see into the net of meaning, with all its beauty, and with all its problems.
