> Yes it is my personal belief that we are definitely much much better at creating than AI models, which the only thing they do is output an empty and dull regurgitation of its training. There's nothing truly personal and original coming out of it when it comes to creating music, literature, art, etc.

I guess those AI models were trained on solutions to Navier-Stokes and a proof of the Quasi-Riemann hypothesis.

> Do you know why I am so against all this hype? Because it is a poison for the mind, it deprives you from thinking from understanding and from questioning things by ourselves, and I'm already witnessing AI junkies that consume and take for granted every single output from a model.

This argument has been made against every human innovation, including writing. Maybe it's true this time but I doubt it.

> Why think if you can now outsource it to a computer, right?

I was already outsourcing plenty to the wikipedia, do-yourself-youtube videos, and so on. This doesn't seem that different.

Using Navier-Stokes doesnt seem like a good choice given the controversy around it.

I recently had ChatGPT Astra write a bunch of short stories for me in a universe I'm fond of. I shared a few of them, and for one of them I got not only wildly complimented that it was one of the best pieces of short fiction people had read in ages, people strongly encouraged me to submit it to various publications.

When I revealed it was AI written everyone immediately ate their words and said they hated it all along and it was obviously derivative.

(throwaway because when I posted this under my main account I started getting death threat emails. like, grow up.)
