- input_sh 2y agoSo what? Stupid shit gets posted as a "book" on Amazon all the time, with or without AI. Doesn't mean anyone buys it.
- dartos 2y agoHey woah. Take that reality elsewhere, sir. We’re doomering in this here thread. /s
- cogman10 2y agoThe issue is that the AI shit is flooding out anything good. Nearly any metric you can think of to measure "good" by is being gamed ATM which makes it really hard to actually find something good. Impossible to discover new/smaller authors.

- rurp 2y agoScale matters. The ability to churn out bad writing is increasing by orders of magnitude and could drown out the already small amount of high quality works.
- czl 2y agoWhile it's true that the volume of bad writing is increasing, our ability to analyze and refine this sludge is also improving. Just as spell check and grammar check give instant feedback why not AI instant feedback about writing quality / originality / suitability / correctness / … ? If instant feedback can improve spelling and grammar why not these other things?
- zer00eyz 2y ago> The Fifty Shades trilogy was developed from a Twilight fan fiction series originally titled Master of the Universe and published by James episodically on fan fiction websites under the pen name "Snowqueen Icedragon". Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty_Shades_of_Grey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty_Shades_of_Grey The AI is already tainted with human output.... If you think its spitting out garbage it's because that's what we fed it. There is the old Carlin bit about "for there to be an average intelligence, half of the people need to be below it". Maybe we should not call it AI rather AM, Artificial Mediocrity, it would be reflection of its source material.
