… and neither does the author (or so I believe - I made them both up).

On the other hand, AI is definitely good at creative writing.

    Well…yeah. That’s what it was designed to do. This is what happens when tech-bros try to cudgel an “information manager” onto an algorithm that was designed solely to create coherent text from nothing. It’s not “hallucinating” - it’s following its core directive.

    Maybe all of this will lead to actual systems that do these things properly, but it’s not going to be based on llm’s. That much seems clear.

      Not to be that guy, but it’s worse than that. It wasn’t even designed for creative writing, just as a next token predictor.

        That’s kind of like saying a wheel wasn’t designed to move things around, that it’s just a thick circle. My point above wasn’t that things can never change - iteration can lead to amazing things. But we can’t put an empty chassis on some wheels and call it a car, either.
