Spectator column sparks debate: no LLM can write desire like humans do
IndraVahan · x · 2026-09-10
An X post quotes a Spectator column by Sean Thomas arguing that no LLM could produce the kind of prose used to describe Sadie Sink's new Calvin Klein jeans campaign — writing that artistically blurs the line between horniness and desire.
The poster's takeaway: "token machines just can't express something they don't feel," framing this as evidence that human creativity will remain superior because models lack lived experience. It's a colorful entry in the ongoing debate over whether LLMs, lacking subjective feeling, can ever produce genuinely moving creative writing.
