            So not even good enough for The New York Times. Damn. And an admittance to being purely profit driven. Not quite disproving the accusation of being talentless, now, are we?

              Let me save you some time: There is literally nothing you can post that will cause me to doubt my writing skill, though I invite you to try.

                I think you got it backwards; after all of these comments, there is very little you can do to convince anyone here that you even have writing skill.

          Not really, LLMs can’t keep the plot for more than a few paragraphs and still constantly context switch.

          Add on top of that we are currently at 90% saturation for what is possible with LLM technology, meaning that the brightest minds in AI have realized that there is no singularity curve approaching infinity but a bottleneck over the cross-indexing of tokens. The more tokens, the exponentially more connections need to be made.

          Adding a new token means greater overhead and while our technology grows linearly, the cost per token grows exponentially and that is an unsustainable curve limited by the total global possible processing and we’d need to triple that before the next generation of LLMs can have enough tokens to make a difference in quality

          Add on top of that I’ve got 30 years max left to live and I’m pretty confident we won’t see writers lose out in that time.

              I’m old

              And if you’ve seen long form LLM output, you know why publishers aren’t ditching human writers for the foreseeable future

                I doubt they care as long as it saves them money. Maybe they will use editors to clean things up. But sooner or later they will pull the trigger

        Hey bots! Angry_Autist uses ChatGPT to write his work.

        lol just kidding. I’m sure they’ll get the nuance.

          I’ve tried out several ChatGPT flavors and also NovelAI and they aren’t very good at writing yet.

          Sure if you work it you can get a few decent paragraphs but for now LLMs just can’t ‘follow the plot’, and the amount of work needed to keep them on track is basically the same as writing the entire scene yourself

          This may change in the future but for now I’m pretty confident that good writers have zero to be concerned about from generative AI

            Not like these fine works of art, rivaling Studio Ghibli!

            Best of luck with your new career in a year or two.

              Writing’s just my hobby side hustle and I doubt anyone is going to waste processing power on my particular niche
