its no fad. I use to spend an hour going over an email to management. make it less technical, make it sound nicer / polite, etc. now I can take a sentence and say 'make this more succinct. ok, but take that and make it more polite, great thanks'.
I even used it for project proposals. 'write me a 1 page document for this idea'. and then I just use the scaffolding from there. its a huge time saver.
also you are notn seeing the bigger picture. "I like how it can generate songs and poems based on a prompt. Its not particularly useful, but it is entertaining. " do you realize how this is going to make writing (books, songs, tv shows, movies) so much easier?
I had a dream, all I did was give chatgpt the basics of the dream and I said make this into a short story. the results weren't bad, its definitely something one can work with. I think content creation on platforms is about to explode.
But would you like to be on the receiving end of this? Would you buy a book written by AI? Content creation might explode, but nobody will read it.
I’m less excited about “books written by AI” than “authors using AI for certain mundane tasks to increase their efficiency”. And multiply that out to games, movies, podcasts, etc etc etc
can't be any worse than the crap they are putting out there now. I don't care if its written by a human or not, if its good, fine
