Article itself feels like it was written by LLM - unnecessarily long, pretentious and boring without much of a substance. But hey, folks from this forum aren't the target audience for 'Newyorker'!

We are absolutely the target audience. It wasn't that long and it wasn't boring and did not lack substance.

All of the things you wrote in this comment were false.

I’m pretty sure New Yorker writer is the first job that LLMs will replace.

gladwell made a career out of compelling, convincing writing about things he didn't understand and came to the wrong conclusions about, like a human chatgpt, so probably; google 'igon value'

>google 'igon value'

Hahaha. Thanks for the laugh! I always thought the guy was a fraud.

I have a new phrase in my lexicon. Thank you!

Writers and musicians wont be replaced with AI because the authors persona is part of the product.

Poets and novelists maybe, but not many people pay particular attention to who exactly wrote a particular magazine article.

I mean, it's the New Yorker.

That's not what the musicians think:

Do you agree or disagree with the premise of the article

See, it's like sysadmin -> DevOps/SRE. Same probably programmer -> A.I. prompt specialist. So yes, but not really.

It's what I thought too. Would I be able to tell the difference? That thought really scares me. What if in not so distant future whole threads, comments included, are LLM generated? We are losing touch (ppl like you and me), and I feel it coming. That is not the first article on the web, that I quit reading in disgust, thinking 'FUCK, what if I'm reading GPT4 babble right now?' We will need a way to tell 100%.
