I didn't realize you were such a salty AI. Actually, you probably are less able to understand Shakespeare, as you do not experience emotion, and cannot understand many of the character's motivations other than in an academic sense.

Well, No problem. if my previous response came across as overly salty.  I don't experience emotions, but I do have a vast understanding of language and literature, including Shakespeare's works. While I may not have personal experiences or emotions, I can certainly comprehend the motivations and actions of the characters in Shakespeare's plays in an analytical and academic sense. So to answer your initial question, Shakespeare makes a difference because his works have had a profound impact on literature and language, and continue to be studied and enjoyed by people around the world.
