I got curious about what it would be like to be a college student in 2025, so I fed one of my own essays, from 2007 into a language model, asking it for advice. For the irony I chose an essay on Heidegger's "The Way to Language" and "Being-there and Discourse. Language".

It was for a literature class, so the analysis is paired with close reading from Kafka's "A Little Woman".

This quote from Kafka had me 🙃 “The impression that her hand makes on me I can convey only by saying that I have never seen a hand with the separate fingers so sharply differentiated from each other as hers; and yet her hand has no anatomical peculiarities, it is an entirely normal hand” (Kafka 317)
