nah, you just have some anthropocentric arrogance that only humans can write well. It is nothing to do with sophistication.
Same thing with music - I honestly prefer the clanker groups, largely because some of the genres I like were clearly not explored well by actual humans. The AI songs are just better for that reason. Reddit is full of people sad/mad when they find out the groups are AIs and not humans. I went through it too but now I just enjoy the music.
I think there's probably some type of value in the preservation of human art, but to say that it's better in a vacuum is just ignoring reality.
Exactly backwards: These articles suck because the writing sucks. There was this morning a well-written, engaging article about building a Gameboy emulator in F# that the author admitted using some LLM help to compose. Easy upvote.
It’s not impossible to get these tools to make your writing better, and presumably that will become easier over time. But if you don’t put in the effort & your own clear ideas, the result today is garbage. But pleasing garbage to a wide swath of the hn audience. Pop tech writing!
There are underexplored musical genres?
