One of the things that surprises me about our hopes for AI is the belief that it will somehow imbue us with creative powers that we don’t have.

The idea that GPT is going to make you funny is a bit like thinking you could be John Lennon if GPT would teach you how to play guitar.

GPT might help you pass off some bit of wit in an email, but any art it creates (comedy is art) is going to be circumscribed by its inability to be truly creative rather than merely copy/regurgitate existing material. And the reason art is hard is because people are extremely perceptive about what is actually creative/funny/surprising. You can’t fake it.

is anyone able to share a GPT-generated joke that they actually lol’d at?

Thanks for this comment. I am yet to see any “art” produced by AI that is not superficial or hollow (best case) or deeply unsettling (common case).

You sound like someone who doesn’t get out (of their subrurb) much. Am I wrong?

if you live in Texas you will be aware that HEB has invested a lot into their homegrown app, and it really shows.

this seems like a great library, but it is missing a date picker. it’s hard to find UI libraries willing to take on the date picker, i guess because native pickers, esp on mobile, get the job done?
