Hmmm. You raise an interesting point--but I think the scope of what's contained in the LLMs today (as compared with even a year ago) is much more broad than people are supposing. And also much deeper. I plan to explore this question further, and will share!
I’ve also wondered about the idea of AI as a window into the collective unconscious. But the problem is that it isn’t really the collective unconscious of the human race - it’s the all-too-conscious expression of the internet as collected over the last 20 years. And it consists in many ways of the worst of what we have to offer. Think about Musk’s AI trained on the X archive! Perhaps it’s more of a collective Id?
