alt Hacker News> Since LLMs lack an active mental model of a specific human reader... They cannot empathize with the human reader, as they don't have the human lived experience. And they have zero skin in the game.
LLM is perfectly capable of empathy, it just never told to do so.
Most writers today lack empathy and have no lived experience. Young californian uni graduates have strong opinions on everything, but produce repetitive boring preachy cringe stuff.
I will take well prompted LLM generated writing anytime over thst!

It’s just a guessing next word program.
It has no feelings, therefore no empathy.
Best come up out of the rabbit hole for some fresh air & sunshine brother.

They absolutely cannot exhibit empathy. The definition of the word shows that:
> the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another
They don't experience feelings. They don't empathize.
