The post discusses an intriguing intersection between literature and artificial intelligence by recounting a meeting between the literary figure Jorge Luis Borges and an AI founder. One user emphasizes Borges’ accessibility and suggests his story 'Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius' as a good starting point for new readers. They raise a thought-provoking question about potentially recreating Borges’ literary voice through a large language model (LLM) trained on extensive data about him. The user reflects on philosophical ideas regarding knowledge and machine intelligence, mentioning Kant and Hume in relation to how we perceive selfhood and intelligence, whether human or machine. Another commenter adds that while the conversation is delightful, it may lack new insights, given contemporary tools like LLMs. They also suggest a possible literary connection through Hofstadter's work involving Borges and AI. Overall, the discussion highlights ongoing philosophical and technological questions regarding the nature of intelligence and creativity, as well as the role of AI in literature.
