Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.
But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

I had five fascinating conversations for this RPS piece, gathering perspectives on genAI chatbots in games, as seen in Where Winds Meet. Thanks to @meghna.bsky.social, @pyrofoux.bsky.social, @maxkreminski.bsky.social, and @chrisgardiner.bsky.social www.rockpapershotgun.com/horrible-bor...

Working on a thought-tool called "stupid drunk guy in a bar". Works like this: If the take you're responding to is essentially being mumbled by a clearly very stupid drunk guy in the bar you're at, is it worth starting a big public discussion with him?
Today we've decided to center:
- some genre author with fewer than 2k followers who said something insipid about an industry where he has no relevant experience or connection
- a Cato Institute ghoul with the handle "normative" and a substack smugly saying we need to be more serious about eugenics

If you are using the "NVidia App", I suggest promptly going in to the settings, looking under "Notifications" and turning off "Available Rewards". If you do not do this, it apparently now uses the Windows notification system to show you fucking ads (for random video games)

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

I would often go there
To the tiny church there
The smallest church in Saint-Saëns
Though it once was larger
How the rill may rest there
Down through the mist there
Toward the Seven Sisters
Toward those pale cliffs there

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
