If I had a nickel for every "metafictional" "short" "story" a promptbro shat into existence on Twitter, I'd have two nickels. That's not much, but its two nickels too fucking many.

If someone asked me to write a metafictional short story, I would simply not.

Six word metafictional story:

“Write a metafictional short story.”

“No.”

Going to write an llm that in 5% of the cases tell people asking the question 'no' or starts to argue with them. Just to mess with the "it is self aware" people.

(Im kidding here, it would ruin those peoples mental health, and as people would not believe you after you reveal the trick (see ELIZA), it would make our own lives worse).

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
