Call me a fool because I’m laying down my marker. ChatGPT and its large-language model artificial intelligence cousins are going to be much less disruptive to the book industry than many of its boosters seem to believe.

But this is not what’s happening. That response was generated in a digital instant, and the unspooling is a design choice meant to create an illusion of thought. But ChatGPT doesn’t think, doesn’t feel, and it never will be able to do either of those things.
