Y’all need to learn about the history and development of spoken language and writing. Writing isn’t just a copy or derivation of writing. LLMs work because of the conceptual characteristics of writing (consider the distinctions between ideographic, logographic, alphabetical…). What a sloppy mess!

Read some Wittgenstein and Goodman, but especially Derrida who calls this logocentrism.
