theGesturalist

I am spending a lot of time – too much really – trying to figure out how LLMs can be used to accelerate my creative process. I deal in AI slop all day. It seems very apparent to me that there really is very little existential threat to human creativity in whatever these things are that we have built.

There are more than enough existential horrors that have already been born of this hydra – one of the most frustrating, personally, is having to read things written by a computer that make my last boss, who was beyond the realm of idiotic, think he is suddenly smart. Like ‘Claude’ was a special hammer that he’d lost, and whenever he held this hammer he could embed a nail into a two-by with one stroke, so flush with the board one could not distinguish its location with eyes closed. The god damn influx of internet geniuses is mind bottling (TPB FTW – I, too, self-smarted myself).

In any case, make no mistake, it just so happens that in my case the whole AI thing actually did turn me into a genius, but the reasons for that are so nuanced and false that if you read to this point I apologize – there is not much more to say about that. I would suggest checking out the link though – all you do is put in a start date and an end date, any two will do, and then after it buzzes, and whirs…well, you’ll see.

If five people read this I will write my next post and dedicate it to those five people AND I will actively try to get some visibility to the page AND I will actually write one of the serious articles I have been wanting to work on and it will be glorious. If ten people read this and leave a message of some sort I will finish my novel.
