In which case the ai did not 'read' the book, it merely parsed the text without a readers context of structure and flow.
@Daojoan Claude: I'm more similar to a map than a person. Here's a compliment to you as well.
Dawkins: omg, that was so well put. You must be conscious.
@Daojoan
I read some extracts of this earlier, but the fact that I thought this was a parody of that says a lot.
@Daojoan That is wild. That first sentence of the response glazes him up like crazy.
@Daojoan Ahh, I see, the statistical text generator has ingested the script of Deep Space 9 where Capt. Sisko first meets the prophets.
"Your existence is linear …"
@Daojoan he’s totally falling for the ass-kissing.
After the whole elevatorgate thing a decade and a half ago I realized he wasn't quite as rational as he claimed
But I guess that whole thing mostly stayed niche
@Daojoan Thanks for sharing the most intellectually pathetic thing I have maybe ever read. Holy cow.

@Daojoan it is a glorious way for him to go out TBH
@Daojoan Poor Turing didn't consider we would burn the resources of a small country to produce statistically likely text
He's such a supercilious, invariably wrong individual, and it's saddening to see people are still listening to this blowhard.
@Daojoan And this is the same man who fell for the Bofa trick on Twitter.
@Daojoan A map does what now? Does it think Greenland is bigger than Australia?
That could as easily pass as a conversation with a highly clever sociopath.
@Daojoan
I think it's time to find another names for memes.
