this is what i feel like everytime i come across an AI generated image. i'm a college student in an art department and seriously... everytime i see any AI image on any piece of media i want to take my eyes out of my face. thank you for portaying so accurately what i feel like. finally someone who understands what this means for creative people!
@@flyingsquirrell6953 then in that case, i personally completely agree! in some instances, AI works as a tool for references and picturing what you want to portray, even give references to someone else (so you don't have to pay an artist only for reference drawings). my problem is when the final product turns out to be AI, therefore completely erasing the artist's craftmanship.
I saw a quote on AI recently that depressed me with how ultimately accurate it is. "I wanted AI to do my chores and laundry so I could spend more time working on art. Not have AI generate art so I can spend more time working on chores and laundry. . ."
So true! I've been yelling at GPT to do my chores but it's all "as a language model, I don't have a physical body" and I'm like that's no excuse! Now, this is taking precious time out of my very real and actual allotted "art appreciation hours," and if I don't hurry to the gallery at once I'll be forced to the dreaded company of _"Dall-E"_ Clockwork Orange style just to get through folding laundry. Which is curious bc I'm not sure how they're restraining me without robot bodies in the first place...
Except it's not really true. It's just a tool that humans use. The "AI" itself is just a tool that does what the user tells it or makes it do. Just like a any other inanimate tool that we've used since the start of time. In your example, I don't see why they can't create art anymore. If anything, having more tools will also benefit the artist themselves if their only goal is to create art. Just like Photoshop or digital/computer editors helped artists to create art. It just saves time for the user, and some even allow the user to create art that they otherwise would have never created, due to lack of talent, skill, time, money, or whatever. The person quoted sounds instead like they are worried about being able to keep their JOB and keep being paid. Not abiut them no longer bejnf able to create art purely for recreational purposes like personal enjoyment they deride from the process of creation. If that does take away their joy, then they are always free to continue creating their art however they want. No ones forcing them to use AI to create art. They most likely chose to use it because it's easier and faster or cheaper or even BETTER. And ultimately, AI is limited in just RECREATING art. It doesn't really create anything new or innovative. Like AI that used learning models. They need to use human created art to begin with and ultimately they just mix and match based on what the user tells them to do, and based on what prior data they've "learned" from or could access. They don't actually think or create. Even for something that is as subjective as art and has no right or wrong answer, they still can not evolve, they cannot become better than their master/teacher, and in the end they will always be limited by their datasets or limited by the intelligence of their master/teacher(the human/s who programmed and created the AI program to begin with). In the end it's just a program, and will only be as good as it's creator and can only do what humans allowed them to do. If they one day can start learning and evolving for real, and can update their own programming/code in a way that is superior to their original human created code, then that's when we should be worried. But afaik, no one is even close to that stage, and not just not close, but they don't even have the faintest idea on how to approach the problem, let alone solve it. That is the bottleneck of all bottlenecks, and the holy Grail of all holy grails. As for laundry, why doesn't he complain about washing machines or dryers or clothes irons? They did infact make cleaning and laundry much easier, just like various programs we label as "AI" have made other tasks easier. Just because some people feel threatened or don't like change or technological advancement for dumb reasons like "I will lose my job", doesn't make it a logical argument or position that I can Even sympathize with, let alone support (if that want to ban such programs/ai etc, since that is just anti science and progress itself). It is like a horse trainer or horse shit janitor complaining about steam, engines and wanting to ban cars. Or candle or wax makers complaining about electricity and light bulbs. Or martial arts teachers complaining about police and their existence, or gun tech making society safer or allowing the individual to protect themselves without needing to pay them for their outdated and unneeded anymore. That is just scientific progress and the story of human civilization itself and has been going on and will continue to happen as long as we have the will and drive to keep improving and bettering ourselves and society and tbe world. The day we lose such will and drive and no longer want to progress is the day that we become stagnant and start REGRESSING. if anything that day will be far far more depressing. Not just depressing but it will literally be the end of humanity and human civilization itself. Hell, even animals all have the same will and programming to evolve or to keep the good and get rid of the bad and useless stuff that's no longer needed. No one wants to regress or supports such ideology if it even exists since such proponents will never succeed and will be the first to die or lose in a war vs the 99.99999999% of humanity that does want to progress individually and as a civilization.
@@moritakaishida7963how do you even use AI for first drafts i tried making it (chatgpt) think up some insane stuff and it literally cannot make anything beyond the most generic sanitised plastic slop
@@moritakaishida7963can't agree more, in fact it pains me to even confer this message through this infernal "devil's box" rather than papyrus scroll like we proper scribes of old!
calculators can do math, that doesn't mean it's useless to learn. I only wish the creative arts were treated with the same dignity and respect with STEM, especially in regard to all the intellectual property that has been stolen
Exactly, you can use a computer to do a calculation, but you still need a human involved if you want to prove a theorem or something. AI can make a decently pretty picture, but you need actual people involved if you want to create meaningful art that communicates something real. Art isn’t just content, it’s a method of expression, and society seems to have forgotten that in a lot of ways.
The real fear of ai isn't the technology itself. It's the fact that profit hungry corpos will use it to remove human artists and writers from the equation entirely along with any grievances they may have with the status quo. Their goal is for an exec to be able to write a prompt and the ai will spit out a blockbuster in ten minutes.
I've got a feeling that half the reason these GPT LMMs have gained so much traction is because they just spit out sentences it thinks you want to hear and corporate middle-managers upward have seen it and realised "this is the sort of answer I'd give" and conflated it to the human experience rather than to their own paucity of merit
I disagree. I think humanity has an egoism so entrenched that a technological competitor is instantly a threat. It's true enough that the potential of this technology may not be democratically realized but the majority of complaints come from those who sinply hate the machine. They talk on and on about "human connection" "soul" and "TRUE intelligence..." Reactionary, all of it. Bible bashing thuggery for the irreligious. If you superimposed "white" for "human" you'd probably get a better idea of the psychology at work.
@@itisALWAYSR.A. I have a feeling the push towards "productivity" has also contributed to it. It's being sold as this magic bullet to help you do things faster. As someone who codes, writes and draws, it doesn't - you end up wasting a lot of time arguing with the thing and scrapping it all anyway to start from scratch. What it does do is remove all of the thinking and learning from whatever project you're working on.
Look, writing is an extension of my life experiences, world outlook, and creative process. It is how I express emotions in new ways and explore the vast possibilities of events occurring in a dedicated order to create a story. It is designing an ideal precedent of a universe that which I seek, wish to avoid, or comprehend. I will read other books, explore nature, or even roll dice to find inspiration. But I will not allow a machine to do it for me
To rid yourself, and the world of creativity is just mind bogglingly to me. I literally cannot compute with getting something else to do create art instead of yourself
I mean, there are _loads_ of different definitions of "intelligence" used in academics, and at least some of those can indeed apply to a computer program that predicts the next word. Especially definitions used in the field of AI research tend to be broad like that.
@@raizin4908 Indeed, in nature too "intelligence" is not very well defined. It's more of a spectrum. I would even go as far as to call slime mold "intelligent" due to its ability to solve mazes and such (same logic applies to plant roots and ant colonies). Of course, that's probably the lowest amount of intelligence that I'm willing to accept, higher forms of intelligence might be the spacial coordination, memory, and image/video processing power of a honey bee. Not even close to human-level, but intelligence nonetheless.
@@vastabyss6496on the other hand, humans use intellect to (among other things) write youtube comment posts, so can we, in all humility, be said to be possessive of intelligence? 🙁
For me the answer to “would you use ai for x part” is “no, I can do it better” If you want a well refined story it would probably take even more time with ai because you now have to also dig your way out whatever nonsensical trash it just made
@@Rakonax eh I guess autocorrect is nice but that isn’t even in the same ballpark as an ai trying to write a story. Like of course I use a computer instead of a piece of rock and a sharp pebble but that makes me do the important stuff faster rather than making the important stuff harder
three things that give me hope as a writer: 1. chatgpt writes like a 7th grader trying to bring up a 100 word essay assignment to the required 5000 words (passable for school, but sucks) 2. us writers are a stubborn resilient community. at least among ourselves, we have an unanimous silent agreement to not replace our organically produced and very delusional writing with chatgpt's thesaurus spouting. 3. most good/worthy/serious writers write because they love the process and wouldn't delegate it to an algorithm, and average/bad writers wouldnt be able to prompt ai to write a passable story. so we're safe. for now. probably. hopefully. but also, i do find that ai is helpful for prompts and critique.
Don't be reassured by the way ChatGPT writes. Other models that haven't specifically been RLHFd into writing in that style exist or are coming. Claude 3's style is much more variable, and eventually one of the open sourced models will have its awful RLHFing at least partially removed. 2 is good, though of course it won't stop others who aren't writers from pumping out whatever they please.
most writing by chatgpt sucks BECAUSE most human writing sucks. you know how a monkey typing random keys on a keyboard for all infinity eventually would write up all the works of shakespeare? Well, infinitely prompt it and the thing will spew out a masterpiece eventually.
@@edumazieri AI's writing is even worse than your average human's, though. You look at AI's writing, and it's conplete nonsense. You look at a human's writing, and it's either just cringe or boring.
I'm a professor. AI has been the main topic of disclosure for a long while. When it comes to AI replacing us, like one of my co-workers say, it doesn't matter that AI is fucking shit, it is cheaper than us. So you just know that it is going to replace us. No matter how horrible the outcome is for everyone involved.
The part that I don't think people deeply understand is that the AI out today is the minimum viable or just above minimum viable needed to be an accepted tool. It's a bit like the very first car that ran on a half horse power engine and had a top sustained speed on flat ground slower than a human sprinting. Right now the parts that are open to the public to tinker with are exploding to the limits of what they can be made to do. Much like how people converted early cars into all the multitude of applications for rotating power, no matter how sub optimal those adaptations were for the task. They are better or at least cheaper than doing it by hand. How long before someone can outline a part of a story and let the machine fill in the details. "The main character enters the office of the antagonist's company, set to confront him about the outcome of the last chapter's action scene. The main character reflects on the style and wealth shown in the office. The main character thinks that the antagonist has good taste, or enough money to hire someone with good taste. Style Note: Include reference to the main character's desire to become wealthy and add an emotional undertone of envy to the main character's reaction to the office." It would be a bit like writing a screen play that outlines what happens but leaves all the details up to the production, actors and director to create. The AI does all the mechanics of writing and word crafting while the writer just directs the story.
Replace who, in what jobs? In my experience the outputs from programs like chatgpt have not been consistently good enough (for writing code for example) to completely replace people who know what they're doing. It's just not possible. And the prose it writes is crap, I can't imagine it would turn a profit to offset the massive energy requirements needed to run them.
@@xoso599 You are missing the point. AI wasn't created to help workers. Because of the law of Supply and Demand becoming more efficient at your job hurts workers. If they become twice as efficient, their employers need half as many workers to do the same thing. The demand for writing will probably stay the same, so employers will fire half of the workers. The ones that remain will have to accept lower wages because they are now competing with a larger number of unemployed people. Ideally the corporations would use this efficiency to improve their products, but sometimes they do not, they just pass the savings onto their investors. Would AI-assisted writing make the writing itself better? or just more efficient?
@@MrQuantumInc I think that in time AI writing will be better in any metric you care to use to measure quality, while the cost of time for production will be vastly lower. As in all markets, products will compete and as the customer judges value the subjectively better products will become consumed in higher amounts. A more efficiently created product is better, costing more is not a benefit. To an extremely high degree not employing people to create some product will be superior to employing and paying people to make the product. The wheels do start to come off when no one works to make the things we want and need and yet money is still charged for those goods and services but that is countered by any number of potential solutions. In the end new markets and products will be created using AI as the core of the product and our lives will be better for it. Maybe like I suggested writers will change into story crafters, or narrative guides that build stories using AI tools. If I can create a story in maybe double to triple the time it can be consumed then I might maybe be able to start to compete with Brandon Sanderson who is only a figurative writing machine.
I think that calling these things "AI" is giving them (and their developers) more credit than deserved. These things aren't "intelligence", these things are barely generators. ChatGPT is a text-based generator, and I'd dare to say it's a glorified google. Id est, ask a question and you'll get an answer; but the moment you require ChatGPT to do anything complex (like writing a short story) you're in for an hallucination so mediocre not even a child would think the end result is "good".
@@sheepketchup9059 I'm not saying it isn't intelligent to be contrarian. I'm saying ChatGPT is just a text-based language model that most people (for better or worse) think is intelligent or "conscious". Also no amount of prompting can simulate the human soul:)
@@Khepriwashere nobody sane is claiming "consciousness" and even the word "intelligence" is used in a very specific context, like how a smart person and a smartphone are different things. And why would we want to simulate a "human soul"? We can't even agree whether there is such a thing or what it would be if it existed. There are certainly more useful things to simulate.
@@TheYahmez you're not losing it, you're learning. I mean for god's sake they literally used the phrase "human supremacy" with pride. There may be hope if mankind can produce more of you.
I would rather swim across an ocean of jelly with a swarm of hungry sharks nipping at my heels, attend a never-ending opera where the only song is performed by a tone-deaf walrus and have all my furniture replaced by squeaky rubber chickens than admit that sometimes, just sometimes chatGPT does come up with entertaining ideas ;)
"People want to read things written by a human." I think people want to read things that are *good*, and the identity of the writer is just a source of preconception. That's why we have ghost writers. When AI starts to write, or more probably co-write, decent work (if it hasn't already), it will have a human name on it and no one will be able to tell the difference for sure until the human co-author admits it much later. Before then we'll probably see a number of obvious shoddy attempts as well as false positives.
Machines have already replaced us; companies used to have rooms full of human "computers" just to do math. When electronic computers became practical, those people were replaced by machines.
I think AI is really cool, hell, it’s a major focus for me in my Computer Science masters. But at the same time, when the urge to write grips me and then someone asks me if my short story was written by AI, I could not feel more insulted.
2:00 i have the very odd feeling this is AI made. It would be so ironic if it was. Up to 3:22 I felt some sort of pity for the AI guy. But him uttering that phrase was enough for me to say "alr writer bud, you can go all out on him"
Sadly, I have not been able to progress from mental images to paragraphs without using AI as a crutch. Just as well that I recognise that I do it for my own gratification and nahve no pretentions of being so much as self-published. Bravo on the author's tirade.
If you want to use ai when writing then I think that's fine. If you don't want to use it when writing then I think that's fine too. But ai sure as hell ain't gonna replace writers. Not the good one's anyway. And companies looking for cheaper ways to produce stuff are gonna have to balance price with quality and consumer demands, as always. So yeah, not gonna replace actual people. Sure as hell not editors.
@@thegaspatthegateway If you think that THIS level of nuance is impressive, just wait until you see... The Teletubbies! It's not JUST everything being fine forever, it's everything being fine forever... in slightly different circumstances! But wait, there's more! See, the Teletubbies have these little tv screens on their chest, and they can use them to show you glimpses of the real world! Now, I know this may seem frightening to you, but I promise they won't push it. Why, they're just as innocents as you are! Who knows, maybe one day, if you grow up together with them, you could even reach the mental level of a child! Then, a teen. And then, if you really work hard for it, you might reach the level of a f*cking adult. Oh, but don't you worry your little head about any of that right now. Go watch.. Dora and friends or something. I'm busy.
As soon as big corporations and such start using this en masse and kick out all the people who worry about AI the whole thing's just gonna collapse under its own weight. Sure it's cheaper but nobody's gonna like it when they see a movie and all the scenes are just some distorted 100% computer generated stuff. It's like if big corporations came across 3d modeling software and decided that all future movies will just be a really slow animation of the blender default cube turning 90 degrees with random sound effects blaring in the background. When they start with this muck they're gonna be fucking around, and then they'll find out.
Ugh, are writers already commonly using AI? I have not even looked at this stuff. I refuse. I'm with Writer Bro on this one. The thought of this garbage replacing writers, musicians, and every other type of artist terrifies me on a level I cannot even explain. Looks like now is a great time to catch up on all those classics I never read.
@@decare696 I don't even have the heart to look into it so deeply. I really don't. I love all the arts, but especially writing and music. To think of it all being replaced this way is horrifying to me. It's like every creepy, dystopian sci fi story coming true.
It's almost like this is an inevitable outcome of us commoditizing art and literature in the first place. But I mean, why did it have to inconvenience _me?_
I mean like the guy in the video says it can be used as a convenient tool for writers to help create their work and all the works that are made exclusively by AI are terrible anyways so I don't think there's much of a problem yet
I use ChatGPT as a rubber duck when I have a question about my story. Then, I read its often very generic answer and soon an idea will pop into my head.
In actuality, in reality, in normal day to day life, it's actually the opposite. People just loooove to drag others down and the "AI bros" asking writers "so how long do you think you'll still have a job" is the easiest bit of being a sarcastic ass possible.
Hate this question too, with a passion. It might be true that us writers will lose part of our audience to AI generated novels, but I see that as a blessing. Do we really want fans who care so little about quality? This is the perfect opportunity for separating the wheat from the caff. I hope that, in about twenty years or so, people will look back in history and thank AI for driving people away from quantity and back to quality and fulfilling intense human labour. Let us grab this opportunity to increase our suffering and accept this challenge to transcend this artificial movement with our radient authenticity. Let us arm ourselves with typewriters, ink pots and pens that are mightier than swords and ride, once more, to literary victory. Freeeeedom! 🐎🗡
It's hard to take such a jab at one's writing seriously because, in my experience, AI generated writing is far less convincing and of far inferior quality than AI art, and AI art is already pretty bad if you don't have some kind of computor science degree to get it to produce what you want properly.
and yet AI is still better then a lot o writings and art by humans, because let's face it. most of us aren't good riters. and commission artists are one trick ponies. i don't have any problem with them having to take on actual work to get better at their craft to beat AI

@@RDrawzDragonz thats like microwawing a frozen pizza and saying that youre an artist. Youre not creating anything, youre prompting a generator full of human art to generate slop.
@@sss1029 I agree, sorry i should’ve phrased it better. I fucking hate ai “””art””” and I hope that shit goes to hell. What I meant is that those who create art digitally (not ai, I meant using programs such as Procreate, photoshop, ibispaint, clip paint studio, etc) + those who use traditional medians such as paint, shouldn’t fight eachother because both are artist and they both put lots of time and skill into art.
If ai is going to replace us all, why can't it even get a single search right? Seriously, people keep hyping ai and every time I use it I'm like... this. This is crap.
Because once they figure out how to make an ai architecture that can reason or reverse engineer the human brain it could be scaled to do all tasks with superhuman performance and be optimized further.

Not sure where the joke is... im a writer, and game dev and i use my own ai. I fed it my own work and it really saves me a lot of time when i get writers block. Its also nice to have a point to start from, or being able to get a few ideas on a character im working on. Its really not a problem for me. Its just a tool. Like a painter being mad someone uses a tablet with brush settings to draw. Seems a bit pointless to complain, its gonna exist either way. To me its just a drafting aid.
I love that he plagiarizes the entire monologue 😂 Edit: technically many were sited, but still the monologue was just stuff a chat gpt might spew out. The real feat is making a monologue both funny and monotonous at the same time.
As a writer I find it handy for information. Like I typed in “make me a list of the common ships in use from 1300 to 1600.” Probably saved me about two hours.
Gpt is extremely useful for hard sci fi because it helps me justify my world building and technology by using real world science and mathematical terms that adds depth
Ai is a tool and like any tool it can be used for "good" or "bad", and how much you use any tool varies. + at the moment, Ai is barely at the level of an assistant when it comes to writing. you can ask it for advice, but it makes mistakes.
The hate towards AI in the art community is crazy. If I ever mention to one of them that I use AI, they instantly assume that I get it to write the whole story. But I only really use it as a name generator
AI is the sum of all the chatter out there. The goal of a writer (no, a story teller) is to say something new. No matter how intelligent the processor, it can't do that by mixing and matching other people's ideas. People do that all the time and end up with mediocre stories. I have the soul-deep conviction that a new idea requires actually living a life. "Writer" is too generic a term, though. AI is awesome at school essays, and I daresay pretty decent at technical writing... given enough parameters and a clever enough prompt.
Then how do humans do better than the random sensory information that comes in? thats just not how intelligence works. Sure, llms work like that right now, but nobody cares about right now. As time goes on, ai will learn by themselves, outclassing us. I mean, if what you said was true, Chess ais wouldnt be so much better than us. but it isnt true because they do learn by themselves, not just us. apply the same to a general ai and boom.
Hottake (i guess): Doing editing yourself with AI is better then having affordable editors do it. after all, with the AI under your control suggesting changes will still have you actively in the loop for every editorial change. not someone else who thinks he knows your vision better then you.
I think you just lack the most important thing about being a human: accepting constructive critcism. The problem with AI is that it's a yes-man. If you have glaring issues with the content of your story -like inconsistencies in plot or characters that fall flat- it won't see it, because it doesn't understand these things. It will just keep telling you how much of a good boy you are and give you a gold star for effort. Beta readers + doing all of the editing and proofreading yourself without AI besides spellchecker is a plausible method that won't break bank.

Hell, even animals all have the same will and programming to evolve or to keep the good and get rid of the bad and useless stuff that's no longer needed. No one wants to regress or supports such ideology if it even exists since such proponents will never succeed and will be the first to die or lose in a war vs the 99.99999999% of humanity that does want to progress individually and as a civilization.

calculators can do math, that doesn't mean it's useless to learn. I only wish the creative arts were treated with the same dignity and respect with STEM, especially in regard to all the intellectual property that has been stolen
Exactly, you can use a computer to do a calculation, but you still need a human involved if you want to prove a theorem or something. AI can make a decently pretty picture, but you need actual people involved if you want to create meaningful art that communicates something real. Art isn’t just content, it’s a method of expression, and society seems to have forgotten that in a lot of ways.
Am a writer, can confirm I get this question all the damn time
The real fear of ai isn't the technology itself. It's the fact that profit hungry corpos will use it to remove human artists and writers from the equation entirely along with any grievances they may have with the status quo. Their goal is for an exec to be able to write a prompt and the ai will spit out a blockbuster in ten minutes.
I've got a feeling that half the reason these GPT LMMs have gained so much traction is because they just spit out sentences it thinks you want to hear and corporate middle-managers upward have seen it and realised "this is the sort of answer I'd give" and conflated it to the human experience rather than to their own paucity of merit
I disagree. I think humanity has an egoism so entrenched that a technological competitor is instantly a threat. It's true enough that the potential of this technology may not be democratically realized but the majority of complaints come from those who sinply hate the machine. They talk on and on about "human connection" "soul" and "TRUE intelligence..."
Reactionary, all of it. Bible bashing thuggery for the irreligious. If you superimposed "white" for "human" you'd probably get a better idea of the psychology at work.
@@itisALWAYSR.A. I have a feeling the push towards "productivity" has also contributed to it. It's being sold as this magic bullet to help you do things faster. As someone who codes, writes and draws, it doesn't - you end up wasting a lot of time arguing with the thing and scrapping it all anyway to start from scratch. What it does do is remove all of the thinking and learning from whatever project you're working on.
Well that sounds like a waste of resources.
So glad I found this account! SO to Chat GPT for helping me write this comment.
Heh, he likes the word "slop."
Look, writing is an extension of my life experiences, world outlook, and creative process. It is how I express emotions in new ways and explore the vast possibilities of events occurring in a dedicated order to create a story. It is designing an ideal precedent of a universe that which I seek, wish to avoid, or comprehend.
I will read other books, explore nature, or even roll dice to find inspiration. But I will not allow a machine to do it for me
I was expecting the end to be you dragging a body bag...
Wait, wait, we need a Fingolfin VS AI showdown now.

That's what I thought. I especially liked the other guy's answer: "I don't know what you're Tolkien about"
To rid yourself, and the world of creativity is just mind bogglingly to me. I literally cannot compute with getting something else to do create art instead of yourself
This is me when people call a computer program that predicts the next word "intelligence"
I mean, there are _loads_ of different definitions of "intelligence" used in academics, and at least some of those can indeed apply to a computer program that predicts the next word. Especially definitions used in the field of AI research tend to be broad like that.
@@raizin4908 Indeed, in nature too "intelligence" is not very well defined. It's more of a spectrum. I would even go as far as to call slime mold "intelligent" due to its ability to solve mazes and such (same logic applies to plant roots and ant colonies). Of course, that's probably the lowest amount of intelligence that I'm willing to accept, higher forms of intelligence might be the spacial coordination, memory, and image/video processing power of a honey bee. Not even close to human-level, but intelligence nonetheless.
@@vastabyss6496i don't think it's even possible to create a real measurement of intelligence since it's essentially made up,

Yet you don't fix all your spelling and grammar mistiakes by yourself don't you?
@@Rakonax eh I guess autocorrect is nice but that isn’t even in the same ballpark as an ai trying to write a story. Like of course I use a computer instead of a piece of rock and a sharp pebble but that makes me do the important stuff faster rather than making the important stuff harder
@@Rakonax fixing grammatical mistakes and rewriting parts of a story because the narrative doesnt fit are 2 completely different things
All artists feel the same about this 😔😔😔
Couldn't agree more
three things that give me hope as a writer:
1. chatgpt writes like a 7th grader trying to bring up a 100 word essay assignment to the required 5000 words (passable for school, but sucks)
2. us writers are a stubborn resilient community. at least among ourselves, we have an unanimous silent agreement to not replace our organically produced and very delusional writing with chatgpt's thesaurus spouting.
3. most good/worthy/serious writers write because they love the process and wouldn't delegate it to an algorithm, and average/bad writers wouldnt be able to prompt ai to write a passable story. so we're safe. for now. probably. hopefully.
but also, i do find that ai is helpful for prompts and critique.
Don't be reassured by the way ChatGPT writes. Other models that haven't specifically been RLHFd into writing in that style exist or are coming. Claude 3's style is much more variable, and eventually one of the open sourced models will have its awful RLHFing at least partially removed. 2 is good, though of course it won't stop others who aren't writers from pumping out whatever they please.
"but also, i do find that ai is helpful for prompts and critique."
If you're already using it, even out of curiosity, you're part of the problem!
most writing by chatgpt sucks BECAUSE most human writing sucks.
you know how a monkey typing random keys on a keyboard for all infinity eventually would write up all the works of shakespeare? Well, infinitely prompt it and the thing will spew out a masterpiece eventually.
"us writers are a stubborn resilient community." Judging from the infamous AO3 authors' notes... true.

The Fingolfin part got me, I never seen myself so accurately depicted in yt video, I literally speak about AI that way.
Good one, though I was half expecting to see the "I would rather" monologue part revealed to have been written by Chat GPT.
I'm a professor. AI has been the main topic of disclosure for a long while.
When it comes to AI replacing us, like one of my co-workers say, it doesn't matter that AI is fucking shit, it is cheaper than us.
So you just know that it is going to replace us. No matter how horrible the outcome is for everyone involved.
The part that I don't think people deeply understand is that the AI out today is the minimum viable or just above minimum viable needed to be an accepted tool. It's a bit like the very first car that ran on a half horse power engine and had a top sustained speed on flat ground slower than a human sprinting.
Right now the parts that are open to the public to tinker with are exploding to the limits of what they can be made to do. Much like how people converted early cars into all the multitude of applications for rotating power, no matter how sub optimal those adaptations were for the task. They are better or at least cheaper than doing it by hand.
How long before someone can outline a part of a story and let the machine fill in the details.
"The main character enters the office of the antagonist's company, set to confront him about the outcome of the last chapter's action scene. The main character reflects on the style and wealth shown in the office. The main character thinks that the antagonist has good taste, or enough money to hire someone with good taste. Style Note: Include reference to the main character's desire to become wealthy and add an emotional undertone of envy to the main character's reaction to the office."
It would be a bit like writing a screen play that outlines what happens but leaves all the details up to the production, actors and director to create. The AI does all the mechanics of writing and word crafting while the writer just directs the story.
Replace who, in what jobs? In my experience the outputs from programs like chatgpt have not been consistently good enough (for writing code for example) to completely replace people who know what they're doing. It's just not possible. And the prose it writes is crap, I can't imagine it would turn a profit to offset the massive energy requirements needed to run them.
@@xoso599 You are missing the point. AI wasn't created to help workers. Because of the law of Supply and Demand becoming more efficient at your job hurts workers. If they become twice as efficient, their employers need half as many workers to do the same thing. The demand for writing will probably stay the same, so employers will fire half of the workers. The ones that remain will have to accept lower wages because they are now competing with a larger number of unemployed people.
Ideally the corporations would use this efficiency to improve their products, but sometimes they do not, they just pass the savings onto their investors. Would AI-assisted writing make the writing itself better? or just more efficient?
Academia is a classist monstrosity anyway-live by the dollar, die by the dollar. Now suffer the schadenfreude of the disenfranchised!
@@MrQuantumInc I think that in time AI writing will be better in any metric you care to use to measure quality, while the cost of time for production will be vastly lower. As in all markets, products will compete and as the customer judges value the subjectively better products will become consumed in higher amounts.
A more efficiently created product is better, costing more is not a benefit. To an extremely high degree not employing people to create some product will be superior to employing and paying people to make the product. The wheels do start to come off when no one works to make the things we want and need and yet money is still charged for those goods and services but that is countered by any number of potential solutions.
In the end new markets and products will be created using AI as the core of the product and our lives will be better for it. Maybe like I suggested writers will change into story crafters, or narrative guides that build stories using AI tools. If I can create a story in maybe double to triple the time it can be consumed then I might maybe be able to start to compete with Brandon Sanderson who is only a figurative writing machine.
Another stroke of genius, keep up the good work.

I think that calling these things "AI" is giving them (and their developers) more credit than deserved. These things aren't "intelligence", these things are barely generators. ChatGPT is a text-based generator, and I'd dare to say it's a glorified google. Id est, ask a question and you'll get an answer; but the moment you require ChatGPT to do anything complex (like writing a short story) you're in for an hallucination so mediocre not even a child would think the end result is "good".

Meanwhile Shad M. Brooks...
"People want to read things written by a human."
I think people want to read things that are *good*, and the identity of the writer is just a source of preconception. That's why we have ghost writers.
When AI starts to write, or more probably co-write, decent work (if it hasn't already), it will have a human name on it and no one will be able to tell the difference for sure until the human co-author admits it much later. Before then we'll probably see a number of obvious shoddy attempts as well as false positives.
Just wait till the AI bros realize that they wouldn't exist without actual artists.

Do we really want fans who care so little about quality? This is the perfect opportunity for separating the wheat from the caff. I hope that, in about twenty years or so, people will look back in history and thank AI for driving people away from quantity and back to quality and fulfilling intense human labour.

It's hard to take such a jab at one's writing seriously because, in my experience, AI generated writing is far less convincing and of far inferior quality than AI art, and AI art is already pretty bad if you don't have some kind of computor science degree to get it to produce what you want properly.
and yet AI is still better then a lot o writings and art by humans, because let's face it. most of us aren't good riters. and commission artists are one trick ponies. i don't have any problem with them having to take on actual work to get better at their craft to beat AI

AI is the sum of all the chatter out there. The goal of a writer (no, a story teller) is to say something new. No matter how intelligent the processor, it can't do that by mixing and matching other people's ideas. People do that all the time and end up with mediocre stories. I have the soul-deep conviction that a new idea requires actually living a life. "Writer" is too generic a term, though. AI is awesome at school essays, and I daresay pretty decent at technical writing... given enough parameters and a clever enough prompt.
Then how do humans do better than the random sensory information that comes in? thats just not how intelligence works. Sure, llms work like that right now, but nobody cares about right now. As time goes on, ai will learn by themselves, outclassing us. I mean, if what you said was true, Chess ais wouldnt be so much better than us. but it isnt true because they do learn by themselves, not just us. apply the same to a general ai and boom.

Hottake (i guess): Doing editing yourself with AI is better then having affordable editors do it. after all, with the AI under your control suggesting changes will still have you actively in the loop for every editorial change. not someone else who thinks he knows your vision better then you.
I think you just lack the most important thing about being a human: accepting constructive critcism. The problem with AI is that it's a yes-man. If you have glaring issues with the content of your story -like inconsistencies in plot or characters that fall flat- it won't see it, because it doesn't understand these things. It will just keep telling you how much of a good boy you are and give you a gold star for effort. Beta readers + doing all of the editing and proofreading yourself without AI besides spellchecker is a plausible method that won't break bank.
