Academics disagree. A key driver of this dispute is an underlying disagreement about what asserting requires. Rather than defending a specific characterisation of assertion, I will review different proposals, showing how each can be extended from human communication to machine communication. Artificial utterances, I will argue, satisfy different conceptions of assertoric force to different degrees. This pluralist approach better acknowledges our conflicting intuitions about machine assertion: it explains precisely why we feel that there is some sense in which LLMs can assert, and some sense in which they don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio<\/strong>: Neri Marsili is a Researcher at UNED, in Madrid, where he leads the interdisciplinary project\u00a0<span style=\"color: #3f96ac;\"><a style=\"color: #3f96ac;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nerimarsili.com\/idanoc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>IDANOC<\/em><\/a><\/span>.
