Was listening to a Sixty Minutes segment on AI. The host made it do a short story based on "for sale, baby shoes, never worn" and could not shut up about how good the result was even though it was pure soulless drivel. Think a big key to this racket persisting is not knowing what real writing is.

It's not shocking to hear that people don't understand what makes writing good. The fact that they even give this angle any air time shows that their billionaire owners want that stock to keep going up and do not care if it's a fucking dumpster fire.

The big key to this racket persisting is being paid to lie on camera by the concentrated capital that it serves.

Big part of what makes reading fun is analysis of and relating to the author themselves. It's expression. I need that part or else it actually isn't impressive at all.

There's a thing in screenwriting where "when you start you wonder how you'll fill the 105 pages then as you grow in skill you wonder how to fit everything you need into just 105 pages." Figuring out how to work within boundaries is the art.

It’s baffling. It’s almost immediately identifiable and sounds like trash.

There was an Atlantic story I read months ago where a college professor talked about how he was getting less joy out of his frequent AI drivel-generation and cited some poems he'd had it write "in the style of Hart Crane" as evidence of the good old days. It was basically a nursery rhyme.

it would make my whole year to have just one of those soft focus segments end with the host saying "wow, that sucked ass"

LLM's are just complex player pianos and will likely suffer a similar fate. hopefully before these people burn the planet down trying to power them.

I think a lot of people are conflating "I'm so surprised it wrote a coherent story!" with "I'm so surprised it wrote a good story!". It's like if a toddler wrote a short story - they're so excited they wrote it in the first place that it didn't occur to them to evaluate the writing. Coherent ≠ good.

A big piece of AI being viewed as this important new wave of technology is just how profoundly stupid much of civilization is now. Oh, you like content? What about if a robot plagiarized a bunch of content to make NEW content? And it’s like pigs to a trough.

There's also the idea that writing can somehow be reduced to data sets when a fundamental part of the thing is actual lived experience, and another part is making decisions. If you don't have that you just have a cover song. That's all you'll ever have, no matter how much data you throw at it.

I am an AI booster. This stuff makes me crazy but so does this reaction. IT’S NOT THE AI’S FAULT. It’s the shitheads who think anyone should have to see synthetic stuff. Stuff that is inherently soulless. I use AI constantly and get huge benefit but when it is time to create, I do the work.

60 minutes just has a specific style of dumbing things down to the most extremely condescending level. The host *has* to be breathless with mouth agape, they make the interviewee repeat their money quote, no generalization is too sensational
