Take a look at the original discussion. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23893817 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23893817 None of it is discussing the content, which makes sense given that it was nonsense. It just makes me further believe a very small minority read the article before jumping into discussion. Like that other GPT-3 post where a ton of the commenters didn't make it to the punchline in the article. I guess that points to the value of a clickbait headline too. I remember skimming the article and thinking it was nonsense, but downvoting the "this is GPT-3 nonsense, or the human equivalent," comment. I don't see a contradiction there. Last, I totally disagree with the author's premise quite strongly. Maybe if you're trying to just pump out clickbait where the whole point is the headline, it'll make a difference in your ability to churn out content. > However, with very minor editing, you could make these decent. Cut out irrelevant stuff, write a conclusion, and boom - people don't stand a chance of telling the difference. You can give it a nice form, sure. People might believe it, too, but it'll still be crap. > The difference is, this is one of the first times technology has the potential to affect jobs in the creative sector. This is really wrong. MS word, spell check, printers, photoshop, grammar check, the ipad, digital cameras, practically everything in movies and animation these days. Technology has been helping creatives be more efficient for ages. One person with photoshop can do work in a day that would have taken ages not long ago. You can hire Eddie Murphy once instead of a full cast. You can film the mandalorian with massive LED monitor backgrounds instead of a greenscreen, which itself replaced other work. I guess if your goal is to churn out thought pieces with a nice headline, but zero research and little critical thought, it's going to change the game. All you need to do is say whatever you need to fit your narrative, like the fact that computer technology and automation is just finally starting to affect creative jobs. It'll flow perfectly and people won't be able to tell it's all made up. Maybe the author's right and it's the sad reality that this is what most of the content we read is and what most of the internet content writing jobs consist of.
