I don't see anything novel there. With millions of videos and content creators on the platform, it was statistically highly probable that one of these videos would match what he should create. It's like advanced collaborative filtering. If I tell you that you sometimes miss opportunities, it's not because I'm clairvoyant, but because statistically, most people do.

Your choice of the word "clairvoyant" is revealing. So-called clairvoyants, palm readers, horoscopes, fortune-tellers, and so forth, lean on cold-reading skills. As it happens, the kind of information LLMs have about things like what people on the internet do for content creation is exactly the sort of thing that allows a high degree of Barnum effect to influence the person.
- viraptor 3y agoYou seem to imply that novel things are not statistically highly probable as a chain of thought in a specific context. That's a significant claim and I'm not sure we'd all agree on.
- HAL3000 3y agoI believe one of the main problems with the current generation of LLMs is that they are constrained by statistics. Unless there exists a universal pattern that can address all problems, and we require an enormous amount of parameters and training for it to emerge, these models may never effectively solve the problems that matter most to us and that we find challenging to address on our own.
