Are LLMs generic writers - or rather generic books? Would anyone say of a book, it had theory of mind or feelings?
What if the #LLM is a compressed storage of utterances of human actors? The utterances are what we are used to see as signs of the actors’ knowledge or theory of mind or feeling.
That compression is not lossless. The decompression, triggered by prompt, does not restore the original faithfully. We misunderstand the errors of the book as creativity of a writer.
