"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I just meant in response to the "models for writing", that they are verbosity engines and even in a reading scenario where one might want to pointlessly dwell on something, we don't need wall of text to do so.
But sure, you can have a short dialog for background characters, but not sure I would care about the flavor text being ever so slightly bespoke versus the usual short throwaway lines. By the time you've fed all those stats, factoids, and events into the model., feels like you've already done way more than writing a couple lines of throwaway background dialog.
