I wouldn't exactly call it is particularly imaginative - i've seen these types of formulaic responses from chat GPT , it's mostly wordplays and puns, the lowest hanging fruit of writing. Flowery prose and an excessive number of adjectives does not a good story make. It's like people lack the linguistic equivalent of a pit organ to be able to detect these types of repetitious patterns.

Puns and wordplay are easy? I think most linguists would heavily disagree. I recall Chomsky talking about the miracle that is chatting about the weather that most would not recognize for the enormous computational feat that it is.

How imaginative do you consider this story: https://chat.openai.com/share/e2a24c03-992a-4e99-8ef6-1d8702197b8f https://chat.openai.com/share/e2a24c03-992a-4e99-8ef6-1d8702... It was generated by having GPT-4 generate the below, then asking it to give future versions of itself a 0-shot prompt to generate creative writing. https://rentry.co/gpt4creativity https://rentry.co/gpt4creativity

  Yes, using GPT-4 to bootstrap itself into even better responses is a fascinating process. Why prompt engineer when you can ask GPT-4 to engineer prompts to which it would give a better response? I also enjoy prompting it to answer metacognitive questions.

People don't really read fiction outside their bubble anymore, especially in the HN community; there are a few hacker 'classics' that get repeated over and over (like Heinlein or Rand), and that's it. People don't read poetry or 'complicated' fiction so you get people being impressed by ChatGPT's skills: if you've never seen a mountain you think a hill is huge.
