I totally understand his conclusion that creative artifacts from generative AI lack a soul, on a human level.<p>But there’s also some objective problems with what it made as well. That entire script was devoid of anything new, like I somehow feel like I’ve seen the same thing on an NYC tourism ad or something. It’s not like the internet is lacking scripts for vlogs to be ingested as training data either.<p>I think it’s more that the majority of that content that was used in training data was actually boring detritus made by humans. (Ads, lost one-off vlogs, low effort school work, etc) If 90% of the content going in is boring it’ll be producing a lot of boring same-y content.<p>There’s obviously a market for that sort of garbage-heap content, but making something interesting requires breaking convention which I imagine is hard if this sort of safe dull content is so reinforced by shear volume.
