If you spend some time doing searches related to those topics (technology, space exploration, misery, music production etc.) you can easily cut and paste together some content that is more interesting than the AIâs output. The AI is just faster and more convenient, but also more inauthentic in its expression, since it merely produces strings of text that are mathematically determined to be typical strings of text produced by natural language users. If humans donât get credit for low hanging cliche, neither should AI. The lower our standards for âintelligenceâ (and also creativity) , the more impressive AI becomes.
There is however a great opportunity to shed light on genuine human creativity by relating it to a new touchstone of artificially produced inauthentic creativity. In other words, the AI experiments could shed light on what genuine creativity is by showing us how it is NOT algorithm-based language processing. If someone asks you how to be miserable while producing music, and you respond with advice that looks just like that ChatGPT output, then you are doing it wrong. You just reiterated what the internet already said, and in the most unexceptional way possible.
And seriously, a culture that is the product of uncreative people with questionable values ripping each other off is bad enough. Do we really wants bots automating that process?
