    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.

                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

                    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’m honestly not sure what’s so objectionable about my comment history and how it is relevant to the personal anecdote i posted here ?

                I must be old fashioned cause that’s not something i’d think of doing. If i’m exchanging internet comments with you i don’t need to know your fucking life story i just need to read your replies and make up my mind on their content.

                  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

          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.

            Who thinks that though ? That’s not an opinion i’ve seen anywhere except maybe LinkedIn influencers but these people have been writing bland, trite slop for 10 years now. They didn’t even wait for GPTs to do it for them.

            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.

            Sounds like we’re agreeing then ?

            along with a really dubious claim that machines can’t tickle people for some reason

            Haha yeah that’s not exactly a scientific statement but i mean… if a machine was poking your ribs do you think you’d have the tickle response ? Isn’t it mostly a social bonding thing ?
