Of course! We hallucinate being in the character's place. The LLM can't experience that because it has no emotions.

In any case, unless you're talking about emotional intelligence, I don't think that's necessary to be intelligent.

You can lower the bar for what you consider intelligent, but that doesn't make the LLM any more capable.

And no, I am not talking about emotions in regards to reading a book. Do you simply experience a book as a set of words and emotions attached to those words? I think you are selling yourself short in order to put LLMs on a pedestal.

I also hallucinate the scenes apart from that but AI is capable of that too!

I guess it's like describing color to a blind man. I am telling you that others experience books in a much deeper and profound way but you are unable to relate and unable see the point that is being made. So you as a person blind to this will either have to trust other people have vision you lack or insist we are all blind.

Sure, I guess?
