In theory, the robots (by which I mean generative AI) talk just like us, given that their large language models (LLMs) have been trained on billions upon billions of statements you and I have made online. That Hacker News thread in which you waxed rhapsodic about JUST HOW WRONG someone is about Flash on the internet? It's now training data for someone's LLM-augmented doctoral dissertation. The LLMs have "learned" from all this online chatter to generate text that sounds like a human being.

People are not very good at remembering things the way they really happened. If an experience is an article of clothing, then memory is the garment after it's been washed, not according to the instructions, over and over again: the colours fade, the size shrinks, the original, nostalgic scent has long since become the artificial orchid smell of fabric softener.
