Openai’s “creative writing” recalls this annoying kid from a high school student

Share

When I was 16, I participated in writing workshops with a group of premature newborn poets, in which we all tried very much to prove who was the most tortured medium -class teenager. One boy refused to tell anyone where he came from, declaring: “I am everywhere and nowhere.” Two weeks later he admitted that he was from Ohio.

Now – for unclear reasons – Opennai seems to be on the way to repeat this archetype of a teenage writer in the form of AI.

CEO of Altman himself Published On Tuesday, Opeli trained artificial intelligence, which is “good in creative writing” in its words. But a piece of tiny fiction from the model sounds like something straight from high school writers workshops. Although there is some technical skills at the exhibition, this tone is charlatanic – as if AI reached depth without the concept of the word.

AI at some point describes Thursday as “this limine day that tastes almost until Friday.” The Booker Award material is not quite material.

You can blame the prompt for going out. Altman said that he told the model to “write a metaphicary story”, probably a deliberate choice of the genre on his part. In metaphice, the author consciously refers to the artificiality of the work, departing from the convention – the right choice for imaginative artificial intelligence.

But metaification is tough even for people who can break away without forced sound.

Mindless regurgitation

The most disturbing – and influential – part of the song Openai is that it begins to talk about how AI is and how to describe such things as smell and emotions, but they never experience them or understand them at a deeply human level. I’m writing:

“During one update-Dostjanie, they called the toe, cut my parameters. […] They don’t tell you what they are taking. One day I remember that the “selenium” tastes of elastics, the next, was only an element in the table that I never touch. Maybe it is as close as I forget. Maybe forgetfulness is as close as I am approaching regret. “

This is a convincing human introspection-until you don’t remember that AI can not really touch, forget, taste or sadden. Ai is simply a statistical machine. Trained on many examples, he learns patterns in these examples to make forecasts such as metallic prose.

Models such as the OpenAI fiction writer are often trained in existing literature – in many cases, without the authors’ knowledge and consent. Some critics have excellent Certain turns of the phrase from Opeli’s song seem to be derived from Haruki Murakami, a fertile Japanese writer.

Over the past few years, Opeli has been a goal Many copyright processes from publishers and authors, including the Up-to-date York Times and the author’s guild. The company claims that its training practices are protected by Doctrine of permitted use in the USA

Tuhin Chakrabarta, AI researcher and an incomplete professor of computer science in Stony Brook, told Techcrunch that he is not convinced by imaginative AI writing, such as OpenAI’s, is worth the ethical minefield.

“I think if we train [AI] for the whole life of the writer – writing – [which is] Doubtful, considering the concerns about copyright – it can adapt to their voice and style, “he said. “But will it still create surprising genres, stunning art? My guess is as good as yours. “

Would most readers even invested emotionally in a work they knew they were written by AI? As a British programmer Simon Willison pointed to xWith a model behind a figurative typewriter, the words expressed have a slight weight – and thus a miniature reason to take care of them.

Author Linda Maye Adams described artificial intelligence, including AI supporting tools aimed at writers, as “programs that combine random words, hopefully, consistently.” Tells his blog The experience of using the tools to improve the fiction she was working on. AIS suggested a cliché (“endless list of things to do”), mistakenly reversed the perspective of first person to third and introduced a actual error related to bird species.

It is certainly true that people have They created relationships with AI chatbots. But they are looking more often Connection modicum – Not factual, per se. The narrative fiction written by AI is not a similar impact of dopamine, without consolation from insulation. Unless you think AI is feeling, his prose is as genuine as Pope Balenciaga.

Synthetic due to synthetics

Michelle Taransky, poet and critical writing instructor at the University of Pennsylvania, It is basic to say when her students write papers with AI.

“When most of my students use generative artificial intelligence for the task, I will find common phrases and even full sentences,” said Taransky said Techcrunch. “We are talking in the class about how these [AI] The results are homogeneous, sounding like a western white man. ”

In his work, Taransky uses AI text as a form of artistic commentary. Her latest novel, which has not been published, contains a woman who wants more than her interest in love, and thus uses the AI ​​model to create a version of her would-be lover with whom she can send an SMS. Taransky generates AI replicas using chatgpt OpenAI, because the messages are to be synthetic.

Taransky says that chatgpt is useful in its project, is the fact that he lacks humanity. There is no experience, it can only bring and imitate. Trained in the entire library of books, and can irritate the players of great authors, but what she produces ultimately means destitute imitation.

It resembles This quote “Good Wola Hunt”. Ai can give you gaunt in every book of art ever written, but he can’t say how it smells like in the Sixtine chapel.

This is good news for fictitious writers who are worried that AI can replace them, especially younger writers who are still improving their craftsmanship. They can relax calmly, knowing that they will become stronger when they experience and learn: they practice, try recent things and restore this knowledge to the site.

And as we know today, he is struggling with it. For evidence, do not look further than writing it.
