Sir Francis Bacon predicted the existence of soulless AI-generated writing in 1605!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My boy Sir Francis Bacon gets a bad rep for his influence on extractive and unethical scientific practices but he is not to blame for his fanbase being awful. Anyway, this is a passage from The Advancement of Learning, which is a very fun, lively, and entertaining book that he wrote that you should definitely read on a weekend holiday while having a matcha oat latte. He is bashing humanist writing

Freya’s Quotes

“What shall I take with me?
Will I let nothing behind me over the earth?
How shall my heart act?
Is it that we come in vain to live,
to sprout over the earth?
Let us leave at least flowers,
let us leave at least songs.”
― Nezahualcóyotl
