Oxford AI Ethicist Carissa Véliz: Cervantes Would Have Hated LLMs and the Age of AI

Oxford AI ethicist Carissa Véliz published a new essay in her Substack 'The Antidote,' arguing that if Cervantes disdained chivalry novels for their clichés, their role in confusing people about what's true, and the wrong ideals they set, he would have hated LLMs and the age of AI. Using a literary lens, the piece examines LLMs' challenges to truth and the power of comedy.
