Thanks so much! It is so much harder writing about literature than AI more generally. In my experience, the author and text accompany me along the way. I can’t just follow the whims of thought. I must stay grounded. But there is an enjoyment in that constraint. And a real sense of arrival at the conclusions

Thanks, Bechem. A nuanced humanism is what is required. I find fiction is a great “playground” for ethical thought. I wish I had more time for it these days, but writing these pieces provided needed pause and reflections. Thanks you your kindness and generosity!

Thanks for the reply, Boodsy.

I have taken your recommendations to heart and adapting my text accordingly.

I too want to avoid anthropomorphizing in my writing about AI.
