rhetoric: concluding statement. this positions the LLM as an 'enhancement' to physical human limitation, rather than a replacement of the human subject.

inference: This helps to validate the 'Augmented Human Wisdom' model. The future of AI is NOT replacing humans, but AI acting as a high-powered syntax engine that is strictly guided by human needs and human intent. The AI does not have 'agency', as it is a software tool that helps the human to execute their visions.

rhetoric: authors explain an unintended consequence of using the AI tool: it scales the errors or the emptiness of the human prompt.

inference: this is an excellent metaphor for the 'manager fallacy'. If the human user in incompetent (or provides empty or incomplete input), the AI does not magically create wisdom -- it just amplifies the user's incompetence in a a highly articulate synthetic thought.

rhetoric: researchers use a specific, clinical observation of an error to demonstrate the model's inability to comprehend logical reality despite the human relaying a perfectly structured sentence.

inference: this shows that AI is amoral and lacks the lived experience necessary to make logical judgments that work in the real world. It can format a sentence beautifully, but it does not/will not always understand that a single human cannot be two ages at once. This is why it is very important/necessary for the "flesh" to text the output against reality

rhetoric: authors provide a definition of their creation (Aphasia-GPT) to describe it's mechanism: taking a fragmented input and expanding it into a fully structured, complete output.

inference: this is the embodiment of Harari's primary metanym of the word v flesh (syntax v human). in this example, Aphasia-GPT provides the words (syntax) to the fleshy human that struggles with those words, while also relying on the human to spark the intent of the communication. The human is using AI to communicate with words, because the words are very difficult for the human.

Is it broadly true that the first person and cognates are the last acquisitions of children and among the first losses of aphasiacs?

Bruce Willis has aphasia and is retiring as a result.

This Book was written during a time when people like Paul Broca and Wernicke, were discovering that damage to specific areas of the brain could affect specific functions while keeping most every other function in tact. In fact, it sounds as though Jennings is describing Broca's, or Wernicke's aphasia, both of which, sort of fit Mr. Candy's behavior. If this is the case Candy's memory would be in tact, he would just be having trouble finding the words to express himself.
