"AI will never write Shakespeare"... https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/chatgpt-or-shakespeare-readers-couldnt-tell-the-difference-and-even-preferred-ai

  Did you actually read the article you posted? Few quotes: - "Beyond the themes and emotions, ChatGPT’s poems were also simpler in terms of their overall structure and composition." - "Understanding poems written by humans requires deep, critical thinking—and that’s a big part of poetry’s appeal, the researchers write in the paper. But modern readers don’t seem to want to do this labor, instead preferring texts that give them “instant answers,” [...]" So AI didn't write better poems than Shakespear (it's only GPT-3.5, but I doubt newer models are better), and it seems to me that readers couldn't tell difference because they simply can't recognize quality.

    Fair enough but I don't see any reason to think the complexity and structure wouldn't improve over time.

  "AI will never write Shakespeare"... if Shakespeare never existed. Since it did exist, it can clearly copy him.
