How about BubbleSort written in Shakespeare style?
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoI would say coming up with BubbleSort or Shakespeare's writings from scratch is an example of novelty/creativity.
- vidarh 3y agoMost humans can do neither, so it's setting the bar far too high.
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoI think we should compare what best of LLMs can do with what the best of humans can do for a fair comparison. Else, we will be comparing what the best LLM can do with what the media/mean human can do. I can also point to tons of language models (both large and small) which don't do anything remotely useful.
- vidarh 3y agoWhat is fair about that when judging whether or not they can be creative? Most people whom other people would judge to be creative are nowhere near the best of us.
