Humanity is at a crossroads: Should we judge creative work by its authorship or by its merits?
replyIs something beautiful worth less if it was made by a probabilistic machine?
Yes, and I don’t think this should be contentious. It’s the difference between talking to a friend, seeing their gears turn as they consider what you say, perhaps even changing them forever, and an LLM instantly provide a response that is cold and indifferent to who you are.
replyA human directing an LLM is often times no different than a human directing another human.
replyAnd the reality is you are setting yourself up for the most disappointing future you can imagine if your biggest concern is "failure to disclose LLM usage". Nearly everything you touch in every facet of your life going forward is going to have LLM usage to some degree. Some small, some very large. But you aren't going to be able to avoid it.
I'm not even advocating for anything -I'm just saying it's happening if we aren't there already.
