[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8999183, member: 6801845"] While I'm not particularly a bibliophile, the quote "[I]What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.[/I]" comes to mind. We all just take various threads from our history, things we've read or seen and throw them into a big pot and come up with a new combination with our own spin. That's not to say the creative process isn't important, just that if we want something people can relate to it's not completely random. But I also empathize. There's no way to know how the new LLMs are going to change things. If they can emulate human creativity well enough, at least for standalone products, what happens if there's no truly new source text to add into the mix? Will it just free up people to try out off-the-wall but potentially fresh takes because they will have an assistant to help them flesh it out or will it just lead to stagnation. Change can be scary, and AI is potentially terrifying even if I don't think LLMs are a step towards a generalized AI or believe some of the doomsday scenarios. Then again to a lot of accountants VisiCalc, the first popular spreadsheet, was probably terrifying as well. It may be a bumpy ride, but we don't know what's on the other end yet. [/QUOTE]
