That a professional human novelist was able to leverage GPT for their book isn't disproving the grandparent's post. They knew what good looks like, and if it wasn't good they wouldn't have kept it in the book.
- famouswaffles 3y agoThat's my point. Good writing can come out of LLMs and nobody has to take my word for it. When part of the OPs point seems to be that LLMs can't write good stuff then that's proof enough. If you're talking about replacing professionals wholesale then I never made that argument.
- CipherThrowaway 3y agoGood writing can also come out of Markov chains. Or even RNGs - if your novelist has enough time to filter the output. LLMs can't write good stuff. Human writers can write good stuff. When a good writer uses an LLM in their writing process, that writer can certainly produce good writing. When an AI hypebro who is otherwise a bad writer uses an LLM in their writing process, they still produce bad writing.

Human writers can write good stuff. When a good writer uses an LLM in their writing process, that writer can certainly produce good writing. Give it a rest. The author was quite clear she copy pasted sections of writing in.
