It's funny that the article ends up describing Pratchett's L-space almost to a tee. Perhaps he's just reading the wrong genre and that any discussion about the humanities is not best served by leaning to science only.
- mcphilip 6y agoGlad I’m not the only one who thought of L-space. It’d be interesting to see if you could get something like GPT-3 to heavily weigh a given author’s corpus when generating output and see what it spits out for “Detritus and Carrot walked into a dwarf bar...”
- nutanc 6y agoIf anyone is interested :) Output from GPT-3: Detritus and Carrot walked into a dwarf bar. "How do we get in?" asked Carrot, looking around. "That's a good question," said a dwarf. "You look like you're from far away." "We are. We're from Arbouretum." "That's a long way away." "That's where the Arbouretum are from." "The Arbouretum?" "Yeah." "What does that mean?" "It's a long story." "I've got time." "I've got no time."

- zurfer 6y agoThat's like bad small talk. Try to sound smart by repeating the same phrases over and over again. Like bad small talk it's shallow and boring. Still thanks for posting. I found it interesting ;)
