True, the AI does not understand human experience. However, it know nearly everything that has ever been said about the human experience. The AI brings a chorus of echos of real authors.

Does this mean the net knows things? See;

And here's how they're pitching their slop to us.

No. The person who wrote the book might know things, and someone who studied the book diligently and/or has a particularly good memory might end up knowing some of them too. Otherwise there wouldn't be much point in books.

But to say that a book can "know" requires a definition of that word so expansive that it becomes meaningless.

Does a plant know it contains genes? Does a machine know about the serial numbers stamped on it?

I am trying to point out that things that do not "know things" can still be useful tools for learning things.

Sometimes. Certainly in the case of the net and books. I wouldn't try to learning anything from a Trained #MOLE though. That would be about as useful as going to a library where instead of reading a books, you open a stack of them to random pages, and read a word from one book, then from another, and so on.
