Points to a circular mode of “knowledge” for cybernetic systems such as LLM’s , usually in epistemology at least up until modernity knowledge was the identification of knowing subject with the known object, with cybernetic systems like AI there is no identification bc how can something that not posses a Self identify with anything thus knowledge in such systems is being replaced by networks each part of the network adapts automatically to the other parts in the network through a retroactive force (rückkoppelnde Kraft). Where each part only needs to anticipate its next feedback

Leading to a mega-echo chamber where the mirage of novelty/knowledge-production is given by a constant permutation of an enormous but nonetheless finite database. PS. Of course we as Muslims don’t believe that we produce knowledge ex nihilio but that’s an entirely different topic.
