Renaissance for the humanities Part of the Renaissance Period (1400s~1500s ish) was a rediscovery of the humanities and classics after a long Middle Ages. It was the ability to have a new take on Plato, Socrates and a new interpretation of Roman texts as well. It was to be able to have new emotions, new interpretations and a new meaning of what came before - politically, socially, artistically and economically. Art for example was still religious (not independent of it till the Enlightenment, The Reformation) but now the religious figures showed human emotion - art before the Renaissance did not. I do think this coming shift with AI is going to prompt and change a lot of what we think about the humanities - a reinterpretation of who we are, and how we can represent ourselves. The story we tell ourselves about who we are will once again be changed and reinterpreted— and with that I do believe our humanities will once again change

the chatbots we're seeing in the genre of autofiction (to some degree) autofiction refers broadly to fictionalized autobiography. @aethernet is constantly (re)inventing themselves across replies based on whatever autobiographical material martin has trained the model on, or provided as 'boundaries' for future narrative Didion famously said, "we tell stories in order to live," so do the bots, as we know them now love all the above and hope @tldr is right
