And it's a downward spiral, as LLMs feed off the janky LLM output that's crowding out human work.

At long last, we have created The Mastaba Snoopy from the classic sci-fi tale... debacle.us/mastabasnoopy/

I have been thinking about this a lot lately, and seeing someone else talk about it is comforting in a way. AI can't copy this aspect of human creativity.

it's easy if you try

The example I always give is the beginning of Roxanne, when Sting accidentally sat on the piano and then laughed. There’s no universe where an LLM generating music would be able to create that.

one of the big things AI revealed was how much collective creative output was already this exact thing - that platforms had already optimized themselves to push creators to churn out algorithmic slop. AI got big because it produced what the ruling class already wanted us to be making.

feel free to follow the beautiful genius behind this smart, funny, and sad post btw

sounds like a terrible world
