Really impressive - you can tell after a paragraph or two that things don't quite make sense, ideas aren't really carried through, but on a handful-of-sentences

Really impressive - you can tell after a paragraph or two that things don't quite make sense, ideas aren't really carried through, but on a handful-of-sentences level I have trouble distinguishing it from a real author. Not to mention it creates content much more quickly.
Generative neural networks these days are both fascinating and depressing - feels like we're finally tapping into how subsets of human thinking & creativity work. But that knocks us off our pedestal, and threatens to make even the creative tasks we thought were strictly a human specialty irrelevant; I know we're a long way off from generalized AI, but we seem to be making rapid progress, and I'm not sure society's mature enough or ready for it. Especially if the cutting edge tools are in the service of AdTech and such, endlessly optimizing how to absorb everybody's spare attention.
Perhaps there's some bright future where we all just relax and computers and robots take care of everything for us, but can't help feeling like some part of the human spirit is dying.
- cortesoft 7y agoWhy would machines being able to be creative hurt the human spirit? Creating is not a job that can be taken; we don't create art because we are filling some market need, we create art because we like to create art.

- antisemiotic 7y agoMachines battling to death in hopes of evolving to become more human somewhat reminds me of Nier: Automata, just without the cute robot girls and boys. Instead, we've got adversarial networks generating ads. As always, science fiction sets overly romantic standards.
