Where there’s an upside there’s a downside. I read an article awhile back about exactly the same idea, AI writing content. In that case though it was an experiment to see how effectively an AI program could generate content based on a few questions, legal content I think it was. Point being, whoever the scumbags are that are doing this stuff are thinking about ways to generate fake content that only reads real. No doubt they’ll want to get rid of more jobs.

I think it is high time that we paid attention to our most important mode of communication. If you compare the current state of the English language (texting) with the linguistic eloquence of the Shakespearean times, it is clear that our language has suffered perhaps fatal deterioration and a perverse dumbing down.
Any help that an AI can provide in that area should be welcomed.
“Fake content that reads real?” What on earth does that mean? As compared to intentional fake content that reads real by modern human con-artists?
Why are AI immediately suspected of harming society when actual human-caused harm is in abundant evidence? I don’t understand these knee-jerk hysterical reactions to anything that may offer beneficial uses, such as working under hazardous conditions, jobs where humans would suffer injury.
Based on this single prompt:
“They’re taking the robots to Isengard, they’re taking the robots to Isengard!”
This is a poem written by GPT3 without any further assist or direction.
This was probably the best completion:
… To Isengard, with engines’ song and rocket-blast!
To Isengard!
With plenty of tin and steel for Saruman!
To Isengard!
To Isengard, where the wizard waits.
With the voice of rolling wheels, and ringing steel
On land, on water, in the sky.
They’re taking the robots to Isengard, they’re taking the robots to Isengard.
Under the trees, through the grass.
Down the roads where battles are fought.
No horse can stay, no rider can last.
They’re taking the robots to Isengard, taking the robots to Isengard.
With good King Théoden who died in single combat,
The last of the kings of Rohan who fought with honour!
They’re taking the robots to Isengard, they’re taking the robots to Isengard.
There is no comfort for Gondor, no hope for men.
Only maybe a child will understand.
And it’s taking the robots to Isengard.
With uttermost silence, unsaid words, and unending pain.
They’re taking the robots to Isengard, they’re taking the robots to Isengard.
Interesting thought. If we are the gods creating artificial intelligence, we have entered an era of gods competing for supremacy of the artificial world.
