[Anonymous No.21620122]

AI will lead to the centralization of fiction writing, even more so than it is now.
Big Fiction will employ hordes of human writers for the parts that AI is bad at, but the AI will slowly learn from these writers, and less people will be needed as time goes on.
Hack writers like Stephen King and Nora Roberts will be out of business immediately.
Writers with actual talent and skill will go out of business more slowly.
Some day, you'll be able to come home from a long day at work, and bark at the TV "drama, half hour, happy ending", and an AI will construct something automatically for you.

The use of language models such as ChatGPT in the field of literature could have a number of implications, both positive and negative.

On the positive side, language models like ChatGPT have the potential to assist in the creative writing process, by suggesting new ideas and generating text that could serve as inspiration for authors. Additionally, these models can be used for tasks like automated content generation, which could save time and increase productivity for authors, publishers, and content creators.

On the negative side, the use of language models could potentially lead to a decrease in the demand for human writers, especially in areas like content generation where the output produced by AI models may be sufficient for the needs of some businesses. Additionally, there is the potential for AI-generated text to be misused or taken out of context, which could lead to negative consequences for both the public and the authors of the original text.

Overall, the implications of language models for literature are complex and multi-faceted, and the effects of their use will likely depend on various factors, including the individual use case and the willingness of the public to adopt and accept AI-generated text.

Code monkeys don’t understand how to use the systems they’ve created, there will always be a need for creatives who actually have the ideas necessary to produce quality writing or art. If you’ve ever seen any of those AI-generated movie stills and the work that goes into producing them, you’d know you need to have an extensive technical knowledge of cinematography to create something that is genuinely convincing. Same goes for literature and art- the people who will be able to use AI to create quality work will be those who actually have ideas and specialised knowledge relevant to their discipline, such that they can give the AI detailed instructions to produce exactly what they want.

You’re not wrong - just short-sighted. Obviously right now every hack trying to build their shitty brand is going to start using chatGPT for their copywriting because its writing ability is about as good as your average university graduate (If not better).

It's fake, like everything else "AI". ChatGPT cannot diagram a sentence, It literally doesn’t know the parts of the sentence to use for correct grammar. Can’t identify nouns, verbs, clauses in sentences.

I thought a language model would have to do this, but no. It’s nothing more than a really advanced text autofill on your iPhone.

Its “proper grammar” comes only from modeling the most probable next word and not from understanding even basic sentence structure, let alone the content of the sentence.

In my experience, chatgpt helps me communicate my autistic schizophrenic thoughts better, i basically run a thought through it, have it give me a revised version where it pieces together and figures out what the fuck I meant, then I work with that version to humanize it and make it more concrete.
Chatgpt is excellent for making skeleton text to work with later on.
It's helping me write a BLM poetry book atm that I will self publish under a fake name and identity and send out to niggers for black history month, I'm at 22 poems atm, i think i need another 20 and then I can publish it for 2.99$ a piece maybe

I've been tinkering around with it. I would't use it to do the writing for me, but I asked it to critique my writing and it came up with some good feedback. I also had it rewrite some passages, just to I could have something to compare with it. As someone who has been writing for more than a decade in some capacity or another, I find it to be a useful tool with a lot of potential. I would caution against new writers trying to use it as they will deprive themselves of doing the work and learning the hard way, which is the only true way.

There’s a big difference between explaining a thinker’s entire body of work and one concept from one chapter of one book. give a specific, simple prompt and obviously you’ll get a better answer than asking the most broad and general question about a philosopher.

Not much. They will probably take over genre fiction. Fans of fantasy, crime or watpad tier romance novels dont seem to care that everything they read is a carbon copy of the previous book. That's literally an ideal niche for AI mass production to take over. Actual literature will not be taken over by AI. It will never write something truly touching and it will never truly understand the human experience. Though as we've seen from AI greentexts, the engine can be quite funny. So comedy novels might be taken over too. But that's only because comedy ultimately relies on subversion which is really just a cheap trick

This is among the most exemplary instances of empty posturing I have ever seen - the constant evasions from actually engaging, the empty insults, ignoring when it is pointed out that what you say quite literally does not make sense, ending with more empty insults and the defense that one must expect non-engagement because you don't want to help with "le homework".

You should expect non-engagement because you’re acting in bad faith. You don’t genuinely want to learn about Deleuze- you just want me to post a bunch of shit about the bwo or dismantling the face or the war machine or whatever so you can go “LEL THATS SHIT CHATGPT SUMMARISES IT BETTER” even though you haven’t read a single page of ATP and wouldnt have a clue which is correct in the first place.
