  1. I’ve 70.71% seen it before and 70.71% not seen it before.
  2. I had a conversation with Michael Church about this. Yeah, that MChurch, the guy Dan Gackle and his ilk nonconsensually deplatformed here in 2015. He had an interesting observation. He’s been studying whether AIs can write fiction (they can’t do it well) and he said that while they can mimic style, well enough to fool all but the most attentive readers, they have no intentionality. In other words, the reason we’ll never see AI write a great literary novel is not that it’s impossible, but that no AI ever would. Intentionality is something AIs can’t fake, and the amount of handholding it would take to make an LLM write something worth reading exceeds what it would take to just write it.
