That's not the topic at hand, the greater implication is that people are saying LLMs are going to replace writers and writing as a whole because they are apparently as good as humans and apparently also more creative.
- passion__desire 3y agoStephen King writes about 6 pages a day or about 2000 words. Let's say that takes about 4-6 hours. Now imagine spending that much time with ChatGPT and guide it towards whatever goal you have in mind. It took me just 2 minutes to craft the prompt and ChatGPT did the rest. You do the math. Humans use other sense modalities and base their writing inspired from those experiences. If and when future models incorporate those modalities, we will see true "creativity" on full display. e.g. "Whipped by the wind, raindrops tapped unevenly at the window pane. As long as she remained silent, the old man looked into her eyes, saying nothing. Time marked its irregular pulse in her ears." - by Haruki Murakami. How do you expect a model to write this imagery if it hadn't experienced it?
- hammyhavoc 3y agoStephen King is expressing himself, he already knows what he wants to say before he writes it. "Guiding" something isn't the same as self-expression. Generative art, anyone? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_art?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_art?wprov=sfla1
- jjk166 3y agoNot a single person has claimed that 100% of all writing will be done by machine and that AI is already superior to the best writing ever done. LLMs will replace writers the way cars replaced horses. People still ride horses, and there are plenty of things horses can do that cars can't, but the typical person trying to go from A to B is probably not going to ride a horse there.
