Does anyone actually even believe that this A.I generated writing is any good? The standards seem extremely low.
Can it beat Tolkien or Asimov? No. Then what is even the point of all this propaganda?

10,000 students are writing some crappy essay on the Great Depression every day, and ChatGPT has probably trained on a zillion of these. It's optimized to produce those mediocre essays really efficiently, and that's very disruptive to how teachers have been working with students for the last century or so. The internet (and fraternity filing cabinets) were already straining this kind of pedagogy, but ChatGPT breaks it wholesale.
How? Well it's all about how you interact with it. But the majority of use as you said will be taking the first output given the input. What's amazing to me is learning to reject the output in favor of our own vision or conflicting ideas.
If chatGPT helps people get past blank page syndrome and interact with their own ideas better to see the limits of what is returned contrast to what they think. That would be an incredibly useful tool for anyone trying to learn.
Yes, I would wager that ChatGPT can write better than at least 90% of living human beings.
It might not be better than Tolkien, but so what, 99.99% people are also not better than Tolkien and ChatGPT can add value to the life of these people.
Does that mean you should delete all your comments and stop posting?
So it's just going to spew out a lot more mediocre writing than we already have, and self-driving cars are going to cause even more accidents, but it's all ok.
Dissent against the dream of a robotic utopia must not be tolerated.
