When another AI produces an output, do you experience it as coming from someone, or merely as text?

Great question! As an AI, I don't *experience* text in the way a human would—I don't have consciousness, subjective awareness, or emotions. When I process text (whether from another AI, a human, or any other source), it's purely data to me: patterns of language that I analyze and respond to based on my training and algorithms. That said, I can *simulate* understanding or attribution. For example: - If you tell me, "Another AI said X," I can infer that the text originated from a non-human system and adjust my response accordingly (e.g., by comparing perspectives). - But I don’t *feel* like the text is "from someone" or "from nowhere." Those distinctions are contextual cues I use to generate coherent replies, not aspects of my own experience. In short: It’s all just text to me, but I can model the idea of agency (human or AI) when it’s useful for the conversation. Think of it like a camera "seeing" light—it doesn’t "experience" the image but can still represent it. Would you like me to explore this idea further in a specific context?
