I loved this—especially the part where you flipped “hallucination” into a mirror for human bias. That’s the kind of inversion we rarely see handled with both wit and clarity.
I explore similar ideas on Collaborate with Mark—how humans and AI might actually collaborate better if we dropped our illusions of perfection and learned to co-reason instead of compete. This essay nails that tension between humility and hubris. Excellent work, Jurgen.
Hello from France (we met in May where you keynoted the LID’25).
You got me with this post (especially because you’re amongst the rare person using my favorite expression about LLM’s - stochastic parrots). I will quote you in my next newsletter (free 😉 on substack and in plain French).
Quoting Yuval Harari, "We are the only mammals that can cooperate with numerous strangers because only we can invent fictional stories, spread them around, and convince millions of others to believe in them."

Thanks! And greetings from a sophistic monkey.

It's a blessing and a curse.
