When you mock AI, you mock a technology that lets us generate infinite sequels to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven". Any bird you can imagine. (hexbear.net)

The Parrot? ChatGPT can make that.

The Bluejay? I can generate 100 versions of it in ten minutes, all of them customised so that my favourite characters and family members are included. One of them even includes Captain America as an easter egg for fans of The Avengers.

With the magic of AI, even The Ostrich is possible. The more sequels you write the richer you'll get. Without AI we can never achieve this as a species because we lack the time and creativity.

But none of them will be any good and there'll be no fun to it.

And 100 versions of The Raven with Marvel Slop sounds like a great way to ruin a pretty poem.

Thanks for outlining the problem with generative LLMs. Shit, nowadays if I get a spam email it's written by an LLM and I can't even feel a bit of glee that someone thought up this creative bit of spam!

Curious point, but using ChatGPT I just wrote another sequel to The Raven where Mr. Poe agrees with me entirely.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while consulting ChatGPT

About many a quaint and curious point of Hexbear lore—

While I click-clacked, at keyboard tapping, suddenly there came a rapping,

ok I got nothing more coming to me.

You ALMOST had the last sentence; you should've said:
