It writes in cliches.
It's all the same kind of voice.
It has trouble with actual plot points for a variety of reasons.
It can't plot out things well enough.
It's trained to be too nice so there's nothing bad that ever happens to the characters in interesting ways.
Lots of issues with that.
But then there's the kind of micro frontier, right?
Things that it's good or bad at that you only know if you know your job really well.
Because there's no...
There's a department in open AI that's saying, let's map what AI is good or bad at in my job as a supply chain manager at a German auto manufacturing company or as a designer in a podcast production company.
Nobody knows any of these answers.
I spend a lot of time on my own kind of micro frontier.
I've found that AI models, one thing I've been tracing is how good are they at writing academic papers?
The latest models I can actually point at a directory full of messy files I've gathered over the last decade, and it could write a pretty good PhD level thesis about that topic, right?
it still doesn't have a lot of good imagination about what a good topic would be, but it executes really well on it.
So there's still an imagination piece kind of missing, but that's getting better too.
So the shape of the frontier is evolving, but I think people have to pay attention to both their own frontier and sort of the global one.
So I think that will be a very big question for a lot of people.
And I think that we're going to see two forces at play.
One is a push towards artisanal stuff.
