I've heard this commentary somewhere else. I think Gilgames is important.

Thanks anon,I saved this suggestion, it will be helpful.

I'm an amateur reader. I have been reading more thoroughly for about a year and all my readings have been very erratic. I feel I need a more solid background.


I am going to start a systematic and chonological reading. I guess this way some time in the future I will appreciate better more recent literature.

So I decided to start with Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. I plan to go later for Plato and move on in chronological order, probably the Bible and so on.

Any advices on how to approach Homer's epics?

Also, would any of you advice to read Gilgamesh before or after the Bible?

Literally every single prediction Nick Bostrom has made has been coming true. How are we not talking about this? Are you sheeple?

You're wrong. AI will surpass the greatest writers even before. Just look at what happened to Garry Kasparov and Lee Sedol. AI beat them just improving one computational gemeration. Writers are doomed already. Have you taken a look at what GPT-3 can do? Itf a human understands 90% of a text, GPT-3 understands 87% of it.

Yes, literature and philosophy.

AGI is only 5 years away, anon. It is much, much closer than any of us could have expected. I was skeptic of it myself; but after I had seen GPT-3's (new deeplearning language model) capabilities, then I was convinced. Elon Musk has got his prediction right and it's all coming true. Expect some form of true Strong Artificial Intelligence by 2025. This is not a threat - it is an advise.

Bro why didnt you put your money on AGI coin or ChainLINK?

You remind me of this poster form r9k who put all his money on lottery tickets and had a gambling addiction. It was a long time ago. He really did spend a lot of money on gambling tickets lol.

Every single commercial writer will be easily replaced by AI in the next 5 years. Get out of this business while you atill3 can - it won't be for long.

You only have 50$ left bro?

Put that money on AGI coin.

Bro are you a fucking idiot? Why are you wasting your time reading these fiction books when an AI GPT-3 is looking to be able to write and create infinite amounts of stories by itself and without the need of a human? Pick up a real and usefum book like SuperIntelligence by Nick Bostrom before you mias out the real AI revolution. It's not a threat; it's counselling.

Everything this guy has said is coming true. Symbiotic unison with AI is becoming more and more of a real possibility every passing second. Why aren't more people talking about this? Are the average posters here really that much of a collective sheeple?

How do you think AI will affect literary academia once it becomes strong enough? What will be its consequences?

What will the future of writing look like with the unprecedented rise of AI writing software?

>predicts everything that is happening with AI right now

>self-writing AI game achieves full-fledged consciousness

You have obviously never tested out AIdungeon for real.

Go to AIdungeon and see it yourself.

Whatever "AI spam" you're talking about was made by a machine. It was all a test to test the intellectual capabilities of AI.

>AI beats us in literature and writing just like AlphaGo and DeepBlue won Go and Chess
What do?
