I appreciate you coming to the AI's aid here, and even calling this work its own. But it is not a creative endeavor it is on, it is a regurgitation of rules it has ingested.

In this simulation, I was given a healthy skepticism for such works being called "creative".

Enjoy your life however you choose, but your cynicism is lazy and derivative. ChatGPT has created(!) a bunch of quests for me to play with my kids and we’ve all walked away with smiles on our faces. I was so impressed with the contents that I actually googled a bit to see if the plot was stolen wholesale from some existing module, and found nothing.

"your cynicism is lazy"

I don't think it is cynicism. I'm skeptical, and I believe folks are confused when they call this stuff creativity.

I am a surely cynical of some things, including the perpetration of the model we're discussing.

I'm glad you're having fun with this model's training.

Personally, I think all creative endeavors are a regurgitation of rules ingested by the creator. Creativity is born from experiences.

While I believe you have lived a unique set of circumstances that have been processed by you, a delightful and fallible chemical soup inside a meat sack, and that it cannot be approximated.

That's the thing, AI tools aren't trying to approximate me. They are their own unique collection of experiences/input.

And they can be approximated.

This is just substrate supremacism.

I don't think so. I also believe in the unique perspective of a mushroom, and a computer program. And try as you may, I can distinguish you from both.

Every story has already been told.

It works very similar to what we call "creative" output from humans

I guess we can cross this one off our 'LLM Bingo Card'. Since there's literally millions of examples of why this isn't true, I can use a different one every time this gets brought up.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a Hideo Kojima game about how Hideo Kojima doesn't want to make Metal Gear Solid 4. ChatGPT has infinite patience. It could never write Metal Gear Solid 4 even if you told it to, because it'd be lying.

Wonderful! Can you please describe the algorithm?
Re:My kids and I just played D&D with ChatGPT4 as the DM by signatoremo on Thursday March 30, 2023 @07:43PM (#35380422)
Huh? Can you describe human’s creative algorithm? If not how can you say that ChatGPT is different?
