Saruman definitely seems like the kind to use AI.

Provided by Palantir?

"The Dwarves tell no tale; but even as mithril was the foundation of their wealth, so also it was their destruction: they delved too greedily and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled, Durin's Bane" - J.R.R. Tolkien spoken by Gandalf, 1954

scoff It's evident that Gandalf clearly used AI. Saruman is the real human here.

Jokes aside, I don't like what LLMs are doing to our culture, but I'm curious about the future.

Thank you! I remember the movies almost word-for-word, but I don't have a copy of the books anymore (I should fix that!)

I think I’ve read them 25-30 times, mostly when I was a kid, couldn’t help myself. :)
