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.

Yeah, these things are supposed to be good at writing, aren't they?
Define "good at writing". Good comedy is very difficult to attain and none of the models are anywhere near it, including the more recent ones.
I don't want to.
I concur.
a true conversationalist lmao you're doing great buddy
Dunno what you want me to say. Define the vague concept of "good writing"?
The linked study finds that ChatGPT 3.5 and Bard suck at writing comedy. You claim in so many words that this should be obvious (along with a really dubious claim that machines can't tickle people for some reason). I'm also not surprised that these models are terrible at writing comedy, because even at best of times I find their output bland, trite and crudely stripped of anything potentially divisive.
However, lots of people seem to think that LLMs are good at writing related tasks, so I don't think it's inherently obvious that these tools suck at writing comedy in particular.
All these words make this reply much less fun to write.
oh, you were looking for the lmao conversations room? you missed the turn: it’s the last door inside clown school. you’re not even in the right building atm!
hey you're the creepy guy who reads comment history before replying to a conversation aren't you ?
I thought the point of posting your ideas on a public forum was to have people read them.
nah, there’s nothing creepier than giving some shithead the common courtesy of checking their post history to see if they’re somehow like this all the time or if they’re just having a particularly bad night
gonna be honest, I didn’t give this one that common courtesy cause once they get to the stage where they creepjacket other posters for looking at their previous terrible posts, whatever Reddit has done to their brain is severe and irreversible
it's always the ones with a veritable comet tail of receipts
the esteemed poster huffed and puffed at least twice more on their local, which we blessedly don't have to see
such a hilariously pathetic bit of darvo, too. fuckin dipshits.
I didn't even press Next Page! dire
this isn't Oprah Ft Holographic Dr Phil, stop projecting
I merely looked after you went 3 for 3 on idiotic posts
oh yeah silly me. That's definitely not creepy 👍
you can’t even sign off on your shitty posts to the degree that you’re now pretending it’s creepy to click a link and take a 5 minute scroll through your bullshit
it’s time for you and your shitty posts to leave
