Nobody has an original thought, all thoughts are informed by experience and understanding passed onto us. The same thing the AI will mimic. I don't know why you're so opposed to this logic beyond a need to feel right.

Wasn’t photography supposed to destroy painting as well though?

If new writers cannot provide a single original thought, then perhaps they don’t deserve to break in anyway. No one is actually owed a successful novel, and if an expert craftsman can’t produce something any better than a literary sausage maker, then, well… perhaps this can provide some impetus for a sorely needed new phase of creativity.

Because it is quite notable that no one has done anything truly new and game since Tolkien - and he started writing more than a century ago.

Because even if this did rejuvenate mice testing will be needed for both safety and efficacy in humans.

Skepticism aside, here's hoping this is a step forward for life extension!

Who would want to live twice as many years in this place?

New Writers.* Pretty much anyone without a brand existing could be indistinguishable from AI at that point. Authors don't constantly generate new unique insights into the human experience, they put down a version that resonates with different people, and it is no more plagiarism than GRRM plagiarised Tolkien or Tolkien plagiarised myth or Lewis plagiarised the Bible.
If the AI can teach itself how to conserve meaning whilst rewriting, then the written word becomes a dangerous world indeed.

You appear to completely agree with me

That’s not quite what I’m talking about.

The nature of actual artistic insight means it is impossible to mimic by virtue to the fact that successful mimicry in this sense cannot exist, because successful mimicry of insightful art would just be actual insightful art.

It’s not a question if “can a computer create something that looks like art”. We know it can. We already know that ChatGPT can produce good writing from the perspective if someone with no artistic understanding.

What’s fascinating here is the idea that AI could create actual art here, because it a machine is able to create something from which people gain a new or unique perspective via whatever artistic medium, then we have machines that aren’t mimicking, they’re just doing.

From the article:

"ChatGPT is best known as an AI program capable of writing essays and answering questions, but now Microsoft is using the chatbot to control robots.
On Monday, the company’s researchers published a paper on how ChatGPT can streamline the process of programming software commands to control various robots, such as mechanical arms and drones.
“We still rely heavily on hand-written code to control robots,” the researchers wrote. Microsoft’s approach, on the other hand, taps ChatGPT to write some of the computer code. "Have you ever wanted to tell a robot what to do using your own words, like you would to a human? Wouldn’t it be amazing to just tell your home assistant robot: 'Please warm up my lunch,' and have it find the microwave by itself?" the researchers ask."

Microsoft researchers have put out a new work in which they "extended the capabilities of ChatGPT to robotics, and controlled multiple platforms such as robot arms, drones, and home assistant robots intuitively with language." They claim that this approach empowers even non-technical users to work with robots, and usher in a new paradigm for robotics that integrates natural language very deeply.

That’s not insight though, it’s just plagiarism.

Life might get difficult for shitty writers, but it’s very interesting to think about AI perhaps communicating some beautifully crafted artistic truth that we’ve never considered.

21% of redditors are 10-19 so you missed a big group that are considered Young. 50% of redditors are under 30 with average age being 23

Lets put it this way, you take someone else's insight on the human experience, change the words in a way that doesn't impact understanding. You now have an insight on the human experience that may resonate better with certain people purely based on the language used. If the AI figures out how to do that reliably, things are going to get very fucky for writers.

It's not the same thing as doing it. Are you familiar with the concept of the Chinese Room?

Currently AI can trawl data and build human language into sensible sentences and paragraphs. It understands nothing. All it needs to do to mimic meaning, or to further expand on its 'creative' properties, is to keep on learning.

Keep believing in that. ChatGPT is very simple AI, imagine the new ones that are being made with billions more data and complexity. And how blogs and news sites are already trash with humans writing it, AIs will actually destroy their jobs easily in the future.

I fully agree with your message but I am honestly confused how you could think that 2k in fun money PER MONTH is not very much.

That’s the same thing as just doing it. You can’t mimic this factor, you either do it well or you do it badly. That’s it.

I love Melodysheep... Relevant episode comes out this June.

They don't need to. They just need to accurately mimic it.

When Obama got elected my dad said “that’s it we’re a communist country now. We’re all going to have to stand in line for bread.” When trump got elected my friend said “that’s it. We’re a dictatorship now. Pretty soon the government is gonna control every aspect of your life.” Both sides are paranoid and think the worst of the other party. Trump is an idiot. I don’t believe he was Hitler. Obama wanted to redistribute the wealth in this country but I don’t think he was trying to tear down the free market system. It’s all fear and half the people are only repeating things they have heard. I will say this. If we don’t change are attitude. Violence will come from are inability to work together and find common ground.

Only one way to find out. Get in the spaceship, we're making a pyramid.

Sounds kind of like Molinism, honestly.

Extra words for length requirement.

Are we pretending that scifi magazines are popular?

I agree with you here.
