It sounds like HAL-9000 apologising for having killed the crew and locked Dave Bowman outside the ship.

Remember: do not anthropomorphise an LLM. They function on fundamentally different principles from us. They might even reach sentience at some point, but they’ll still be completely alien.

In fact, this might be an interesting lesson for future xenobiologists.



Would it be xenobiology, or xenotechnology?

I would argue it's not alien anyhow, given it was created here on earth.


It’s completely different from anything that evolved on Earth. It’s not extra-terrestrial, but it’s definitely non-human, non-mammalian, and very much unlike any brain we have studied so far.
