All of these color the way we "read" media and content. There's a book I love. The first time I read it was at seven or eight. I later did a book report on it during High school. Despite it being the same literal book, seven year old me read a way more fantastic and colorful book than older me. Sixteen year old me knew more about colonial times and naming conventions so that book was way more mundane and less fantastical. Of course I prefer the version my child version read. In a similar way, I can no longer listen to American Idiot and The Black Parade without crying my eyes out, these two hit me in a different way than five or six years ago, because up to that point I loved these albums as a source of joy and inspiration for cool adventure hooks and stories. Now, these are a source of catharsis when I feel like missing my Dad. That's the kind of "learning" and perception that AI is incapable of. It cannot create significance nor reinterpret new meanings into older experiences. Legend tells that when Gary Kasparov lost to Deep Blue, he went into depression, and later got better when playing with his kids. He also went for his favorite food and had a date with his wife, only to realize that the machine couldn't do any of that. It was just a piece of silicon unable to feel or care.</blockquote>
