Neal Stephenson Believes AI-Generated Creative Output Is 'Simply Not Interesting'
Neal Stephenson "sees artificial intelligence in general, and ChatGPT in particular, as underwhelming," reports CoinDesk. "I think it depends on how it's used," Stephenson told CoinDesk TV's "First Mover" on Friday. "What we've tended to see is that it's used in creative applications where I don't think it's at all interesting." Stephenson said that with a painting or book, "what you're doing is having a kind of communion with the artist who made thousands of little micro decisions in the course of creating that work of art or writing that book." A decision that is generated by an algorithm, "that's simply not interesting," he said.... "Personally, I know a lot of writers who are putting a lot of effort into creating their own original works, and I'd rather support them and hear what they have to say than just look at the output of an algorithm," he said. When asked if an AI could've written Snow Crash, Stephenson responded "Well, maybe one did." But if that were the case, he added, a person would be reading only the output of an algorithm, "and if that's interesting to you, then fine."
