We sure do. This is exactly the kind of thing I might have ended up doing, back when I started writing (and yeah I’ve written four novels, come at me bros). I don’t for a second believe that numerical analysis is going to lead to great literature, but from the point of view of someone (like me) who tends to think in…

I wouldn’t even say “misguided.” He started this project a decade ago, long before LLMs and generative models hit the mainstream. It had been running for years. Then the LLMpocalypse happened and everyone lost their minds, and now we’re at the point where Sam Barsanti, who I will bet money does not understand these…

Like, he wanted to write a memoir, so of course the first step is to compile a database of 25,000 books to count all the words and analyze their vocabulary. How could you possibly begin writing a book otherwise?

Thank you. I’ve never heard of Prosecraft, but I’ve seen plenty of blogs devoted to things like the average number of cuts in a Michael Bay movie, how many minutes of screen time Heath Ledger appears on screen as the Joker, etc. etc. I think I just assumed something like that already existed for books. If you squint…

Don’t get me wrong; I don’t think Prosecraft’s analysis is particularly useful, and I would be perfectly happy to see laws banning generative AI and LLMs from being used for anything remotely resembling a profit-making activity, until we can take some time to grapple with their effects. The current moment is as…

Yeah, it feels like we’re just gonna have to wait through a couple years of neo-luddite panic about any prospect of computerized analysis of “creative” media.

“seems to have raised a lot more red flags than it lowered”

The writer of this article literally copy and pasted other people's words and pictures to make this article. Without those people's consent. By the logic of the anti-AI crowd, this constitutes theft, the writer should be fired, and Kotaku should disallow ANY article that use other peoples words and images.

More gatekeeping by crybaby artists who are making false claims and lies about how AI works in order to garner sympathy and outrage culture. Their art is not stolen, it’s not even used in any piece. To say that the computer looking at millions of different pieces of art from all over the world to train it on what…

Uh, The mech droids were clearly an evolution of the Droidekas from the prequels. The design language hardly came out of nowhere.
