   This is making me THINK, as you and your formicogical thoughts often do.

   I love this analogy; what is a mirror to a colony organism, anyway: an optical mirror is meaningless to a hive mind

   But a massive LLM is like a papier-mache collage from our collective written output

   it's a mirror to the culture (collective organism?) looking backwards in time

   And we react to it like the cats that puff up in the mirror at that weird other interloper

     Story Concept:

     LLMs are a mirror test from ants and we are failing the mirror test.
