And yet humans still play chess with each other, casually and competitively, translate each others works, etc. It turns out that just because you can make a computer do something doesn’t mean you should or that most people will enjoy the fruits of that effort for things that give their lives meaning (vs. that which they’re forced to do as work in order to survive). This is especially true of art. We’ve had generative art since the 1960s at least and yet most people would still prefer to wander around Rome and visit art museums than type “anime waifu trending on artstation” into Midjourney.

But that really isn't what is being discussed in this thread at all, which is simply whether computers will be able to perform this task or not. From my vantage point, I wouldn't put money against it coming to pass. As a personal anecdote, the relevance of which just occurred to me, I attended a birthday party recently of regular church going people -- no techies in the crowd. An older gentleman got up and read a story that he had asked ChatGPT to create for the occasion. Everyone was laughing. Perhaps it's a one time novelty. But the average guy may be more accepting of it than we guess.
- bugglebeetle 3y agoSee, this is what I’m talking about. It can’t even come up with a plausible anecdote for this rebuttal.
