- Sharlin 3y agoRight. It's almost as if your average human has little creativity, indeed less than what ChatGPT can demonstrate, even though that magical "creativity" is supposed to be the current Big Thing that separates us from the machines. (In a year, once everybody is forced to agree that LLMs exhibit real creativity, not just regurgitation of their training data, the next Big Thing is going to be something else.)
