I wish PKD could be here to play with the GPT-N AIs.

  I wonder if he’d find them very interesting at this point when he predicted something similar half a century ago. Fundamentally these models look backward. They’re a sum of what the Internet contained last year and can write you anything from that viewpoint. But an author like PKD was always looking forward. He might nod to GPT and go back to thinking about how much further things can go.

    To be fair PKD predicted a lot of things that make our current dystopian present. Checkout Vulcan's Hammer for a PKD on AI story.

    That's the best summary of what I find disappointing about the recent swift and enthusiastic uptake of AI generated content. Crystalised something for me.
