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...

Most people, even Richard Corben fans, haven't read his earliest stories. He created short comics in many genres: humor, horror, social satire, high fantasy, adventure, and more. But my favorite stories by far are his dystopian science fiction. @realgdt.bsky.social

My fellow Europeans, I'm once again asking you to write or call your EU representatives and tell them this is unacceptable. They're essentially selling our sensitive data to companies, effectively destroying our privacy and risking our digital well-being.

Wait, it isn't called The Epstein Ballroom? I thought it was called The Epstein Ballroom. Are you sure it isn't called The Epstein Ballroom? What if allnalgorithms use repeated use of The Epstein Ballroom to build our social media pseudozeitgeist? How does The Epstein Ballroom shape our reality?
Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!
