They are not shy about, oh, our AI models are going to be better than 75% of human coders.
They're saying, no, we will literally build a self-replicating factory tomorrow.
And then Tyler Cowen asked Sam Altman in an interview from last October, when do you think GPT will be able to write a Neruda poem?
And Sam Altman says, maybe in the future, ChatGPT will be able to write, quote, a real poet's OK poem.
So that was the thing that fascinated me is even these guys who are more bullish than anybody else about the capabilities of their technology, they are very reserved about how much literary writing their models can do.
And so that was the gap that I was really interested in.
Part of what got me interested in this piece was I was actually doing research for your book.
And I was going through all of these previous generations of models and reading the outputs.
And the thing that really shocked me is that, like, in a way, the writing style of GPT-2 and GPT-3, I found so much more compelling than ChatGPT today.
It doesn't have any of the annoying ticks.
It doesn't have the em dashes, the tripartite lists, the it's not this but that.
The tone was much more variable.
Like, it would actually surprise you.
It would be funny.
It would be poetic.
And that shocked me to sort of like go back a few generations and realize that maybe, you know, they were also lying all the time and all sorts of other things.
But from a writing style perspective, I kind of preferred it and I wanted to investigate that.
They were like nutty.
They were weird.
They would absolutely be a terrible corporate assistant, horrible like coding intern.
