That refers to publishing. Chatbots don’t publish, they generate text files.
Text files are not dangerous or mighty. Publishing is. Publishing is not under discussion here.
Just because both are comprised of text does not mean that they are remotely the same thing.
Ideas change the world. Chatbots generate ideas.
As far as I can tell, they do not.
I’ve tried very hard to get new original ideas out of them, but the best thing I can see coming from them (as of now) is implementations of existing ideas. The quality of original works is pretty low.
I hope that that will change, but for now they aren’t that creative.
