Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote, Reviewed by R Daneel Olivaw

 Generation AI were full of adulation when their favourite LLM was finally coaxed into producing a word-for-word perfect article entitled "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote[*]". The fanbots went wild, as the level of sophistication was beyond anything previously achived, especially since the LLM had certainly never had sight of any of the works of Jorge Luis Borges, but was trained on a mix of classics, magic realism and science fiction in just the way. that the great Argentinian writer had immersed himself in the latent, lambent, and the laconic, the sardonic, speculative, and sadistic, the terrible, the edritch, and the embarrasingly obvious.

" Borges than Borges" declared Anais Nim in her podcast. "Le Super-Borges est arrivee" announced Houllebeck in Le Pen et Le Deep. Le Mash headlined with the obscure "Ghoti considered harmful".

Borges said nothing. The irony was lost on them all.
