the way that French chefs feel about McDonalds, I feel about this: * this is a terrible, evil product and we're all worse off for it existing * ... but what's even worse is how many consumers won't be able to tell the difference between this and The Real Stuff https://t.co/TOGRCgQEd3

3/ Well, Julia Child explains in the Art of French Cooking vol 1 and 2. I've made her hamburger. It's ... fine. https://twitter.com/yorrick09/status/1314319001586216962 …

8/ Yeah, people like Brometheus might be able to use this and start emitting books that are borderlime acceptable . https://twitter.com/stucknLAwzmbies/status/1314340065888399360?s=19 …

9/ I find this response very odd. There are 3 distinct axises: - my initial take "this tool his bad" - his "how can a SF author think this / not have predicted this?" - his "learn to adapt". He reprimands me for 2 things I didn't speak on. >>> https://twitter.com/CyberneticMelon/status/1314569590727376896 …

10/ My initial comment is basically "this will not generate more high quality art, and we already have a near infinite supply of low quality art". I stand by that. >>>

11/ > You're a sci-fi artist and this is your take? This is like barley scratching the surface of how weird shit is gonna get, who said I didn't predict this? Who said I don't think the world will get weird yet? This is an obvious development, we've assumed AI for decades.

12/ > better learn to adapt. Who said that I was upset re my own career? This tool will just let people who can't write at all write like Brometheus, and will let Brometheus write like someone who is worthy of getting rejected by Baen. This doesn't hurt me.

15/ well, I'm 90% shitpoasting... RT
@mr_archenemy > Democratization is bad. if by this you mean "lowering the cost of entry", i disagree (which i think this is very different than this AI tool ridiculousness, about which i do agree you).Show this thread -
16/ Let me rephrase: - quality follows a power law - there are arbitrary cut-off points. Publishing Inc. used to cut off the bottom 95%. Ability to focus and stick words together currently cuts off the bottom 50%. - lowering cost of entry is good - effective search is too

17/ Barriers to entry impacts search quality. All barriers to entry have both false positives and false negatives. High barriers to entry have tons of false negatives (good books excluded). Low barriers to entry reduce false negatives and create false positives. >>>

18/ By which I mean, if you picked a random SF book off the shelf in 1990, 90% would have been good, 1% bad. If you pick a random SF book off of kindle today, 90% are bad. GPT tools that allow more creation will make this worse. 99% will be bad.

19/ E.g. look at the text that @lexirad CHOSE to highlight of what great work her tool can do. This is TERRIBLE. https://twitter.com/Lexirad/status/1314271681939034112 …

20/ I mean, it's not as bad as Brometheus tier, I admit that, but it's still not the kind of thing anyone should be reading. (side note: wonder if the GPT-3 will write a book on how to write as poorly as it writes?)

21/ Smart people: I am interested in history as far back as the Bronze Age, so that I can compare modernity to a baseline Average people: I am interest in history back to WWII NEETS: don't bore me w 20 yr old news, boomer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://twitter.com/CyberneticMelon/status/1314581301954072576 …
