Maybe. I'm not convinced. Profundity is THE breeding ground for bullshit.
I'm more inclined (in the context of my own profundity or perhaps more
aptly prolificness or prolixity) to suggest that it is more of a mask
(and therefore enabler?) of bullshit than a breeding ground. Could be a
fine hair I suppose.
And "wisdom" is not far off. Mansplaining, in general beyond that of
automated mansplainers like GPT, is rife with pseudo-wisdom.
I love me the term "mansplaining" and particularly the proto-form that
Rebecca Solnit offered me in her "Men Explain Things to Me" some 10+
years ago... in defense of my gender, I want to expand it to
"DominantCultureSplaining" which I do acknowledge is well represented
simply as "Man" splaining.
And to that point, I agree that GPT does seem to lean toward "Dominant
Culture Splaining" and wonder at just how/when the right prompting will
yield otherwise? Seems like anything it can do, it can do "en
complement" if that is a concept?
Your comments here help me to think about that...
