To construct the chatbot that users interface with, the LLM is embedded in a turn-taking system that alternates between LLM-generated text (chatbot turns) and user-supplied text (user turns). On every chatbot turn, the LLM is presented with the entire conversation history and other contextualising information such as commercial and user-entered system prompts [43,71](https://paperpile.com/c/Gkdt8S/jmBC+LZbg) .

What is loved is the petit objet a, which is not a particular object, but the object as such, the “void presupposed by a demand”. The physical and psychical “presence” of the lover is required only as that which allows the assemblage of affects to be given an apparent cohering centre. But, in the end, the lover is just that: the space, the canvas, on which the collage of memories and associations can be arranged.
Formal innovation stalls because the culture industry can’t accommodate it, and the tech industry has instead made datafication (seeing the world one-dimensionally as “content”) very profitable. Generative AI serves that project as well; it flattens style into “style transfers,” parodic imitations that presume that any form and any content can arbitrarily be joined together in bogus travesties of aesthetic unity.
