Human experience though is far different from anything an LLM can train on. LLMs are generally limited to what's written in books or on the internet, and influence only from those authors. That's a small subset of people and an even smaller subset of their interactions. Even on the most social and widely used platform the commentary and discourse is incredibly different than what takes place in real life.
Sure but concepts that resonate with actual human experience get repeated/amplified. Manuscripts don't burn and all that.
You can spend all your life reading about love but will never know what it is until you experience it.
But you can also spend all your life being in love and will miss out big time on understanding what you are feeling if you do not read the contemporary brain science on what happens when you are in love…
You can collect a lot of great takes on love though.
