I’m not confused, I just disagree. I don’t think that authorial intent is something fundamentally different than text prediction.
When I’m writing out a comment, there’s no muse in my head singing the words to me. I have a model of who I am and what I believe - if I weren’t religious I might say I am that model - and I type things out by picking the words which that guy would say in response to the input I read.
(The model isn’t a transformer-based LLM, of course.)
