What causes the outrage at these models and their output? Is it fear? Notice how critics often deem it necessary to use disparaging remarks:
"soulless, no insight or deeper meaning which we find in quality writing, completely cliched, ignoble, phony"
I’m also 31 and obviously into tech to be here, so not an old man waving sticks at trains. What bizarre assumptions you have.
One of the difficult things to do in art is to make something that makes some kind of sense but doesn’t simply follow an obvious logical path. Robert Frost put this as ‘no surprise for the writer, [then] no surprise for the reader.’ These leaps, or ‘illogical conclusions’ occupy a non-polynomial space of endless parameters. It’s like a traveling salesman problem where we aren’t sure where the salesman wants to be or how he traveled, until he has made it to his destination. Generative AI can help search the problem space.
What "outrage"?
The AI was pretty bad, bad enough the writer used almost none of the AI's words in the end.
I think that's about as much "outrage" as you're seeing here - "not very good".
Sounds like the job of a critic.
