#and when i say discourse/conversation i mean the talk that was had about AI specifically not about glenn himself

[dennistakesamentalhealthday]

my silly ass is feeling anxious about reactions i made before there was more context and like i am feeling much calmer about what glenn said in those clips but i do think the discourse around it and the impact of AI on writing in general was important to be had regardless. that being said if we want to be really nitpicky i am still not a fan of how the videos went or how he chose to frame his answer but it is what it is. anyway to me the main takeaways from this should be:

please do not play around with chat gtp or any ai "just to see" what they can do. those "one or two good jokes" that glenn got out of it was just regurgitations of what the ai has already been fed of other people's work. the AI cannot produce its own jokes and it certainly cannot produce jokes with the same depth and context of an actual writer. i can kinda get a writers room wanting to see what it can do in a cautionary way but still we should not be entertaining the potential of ai at all
