Or maybe it’s depressing to you because of your vested belief in some kind of exceptionalism for humanity. We’re just big biological machines - we run on electricity and chemicals. Just because the materials might be a bit different between a human brain and an LLM, doesn’t mean that fundamentally the process of gathering, digesting, and regurgitating data works any different.
We see things, we recognize patterns, and we reproduce those patterns to the best of our abilities - that is the human creative process in a nutshell. It’s the process that lead to the creation of LLMs in the first place - why should our creation not follow the same methodology in order to create the same way we do? Why should a computer looking at a hundred pieces of art and producing something objectively similar to what it’s seen be any different than a human being doing the same thing?
