It’s like anything. I can cook my own food. That doesn’t mean I don’t go out to restaurants sometimes. I could use an LLM myself to write a novel. But it wouldn’t be the same novel. And there is some skill in prompt writing. Even then, just the sheer time to generate a novel-length coherent work from small snippets of chat windows is still a large investment of time.
Yes, but also no. Plenty of people will buy and read these books and watch AI slop movies. Everyone can cook healthy meals at home, and many do, but there’s still a big market for fast food restaurants and prepackaged microwave meals.
I don’t get why people think they can have a career as a LLM middleman.
If I wanted to read a book written by a plagiarism machine about a subject I want, I’ll just ask it myself.
I don’t need someone else to ask it to write a book.
Same for LLM movies, or music.
If Hollywood thinks it can fire all the creatives and just spam out LLM generated content, well, so can the audience…
