My Immortal is a better story than Altman's AI slop (deadsimpletech.com)

Notable dunce Sam Altman has graced us with his new GPT model: a version that, in his telling, can write pretty good short stories. Now, while we might have reasonable grounds to doubt that, considering some of his prior claims, we're lucky enough to find ourselves with actual evidence in this case, in the form of the story.

Reader, it is not good. In fact, I'd argue seriously that My Immortal, the notoriously awful Harry Potter fanfiction, is a better piece of writing than the story Altman's AI tooling produced, and I can back this up.

Its sort of related to the reason that Sharknado isnt a good movie but The Room is even though they both objectively suck.

A genuine but shitty attempt at art will always be more valuable and interesting than a soulless replication of the thing its trying to emulate.
