I’m old

And if you’ve seen long form LLM output, you know why publishers aren’t ditching human writers for the foreseeable future

Let me save you some time: There is literally nothing you can post that will cause me to doubt my writing skill, though I invite you to try.

Writing’s just my hobby side hustle and I doubt anyone is going to waste processing power on my particular niche

Um… do you imagine that churches are somehow run like the military, and that roles of service are badges of office?

Additionally, there was no ‘down the hierarchy’ point made, they just conflated the two roles, which is why I corrected them

Are you having a problem following this conversation? The ‘Show Context’ button can refresh your memory

And yet you replied

You just like arguing, a shame you aren’t very good at it

No, but I do earn enough that I don’t have to work full time and that was my primary goal frankly

Not really, LLMs can’t keep the plot for more than a few paragraphs and still constantly context switch.

Add on top of that we are currently at 90% saturation for what is possible with LLM technology, meaning that the brightest minds in AI have realized that there is no singularity curve approaching infinity but a bottleneck over the cross-indexing of tokens. The more tokens, the exponentially more connections need to be made.

Adding a new token means greater overhead and while our technology grows linearly, the cost per token grows exponentially and that is an unsustainable curve limited by the total global possible processing and we’d need to triple that before the next generation of LLMs can have enough tokens to make a difference in quality

Add on top of that I’ve got 30 years max left to live and I’m pretty confident we won’t see writers lose out in that time.

I’ve tried out several ChatGPT flavors and also NovelAI and they aren’t very good at writing yet.

Sure if you work it you can get a few decent paragraphs but for now LLMs just can’t ‘follow the plot’, and the amount of work needed to keep them on track is basically the same as writing the entire scene yourself

This may change in the future but for now I’m pretty confident that good writers have zero to be concerned about from generative AI

It’s telling that you can only conceive of an online life

Touch grass, friend

As if any engagement farmer would bother wasting energy on lemmy

I am a published writer, so suck every inch of my ass and beg for more.

Deacons aren’t pastors or priests, they are glorified ushers

Well you certainly saw what happens when they didn’t turn up to vote. Congrats

That’s not how salvation works and even kids in sunday school know that…

The only thing ‘cringe’ here is you using cringe unironically post-COVID

It’s so cute when they play stupid

If your only counter argument is a spongebob meme then maybe you want to think on what I said about maturity for a moment.

Aww who are we kidding, everyone knows you’re a perpetual child

Ok then cite me my post where I claimed God was real.

I FUCKING DARE YOU

You can only win arguments when you fill your opposition’s mouth with lies

I guess accuracy is only important in your opposition, gotcha

Don’t let it ever be said that heathens aren’t hypocritical as well

I bet it would shock you to find out that the existence or lack thereof of an Abrahamic god is irrelevant to me.

Or, to use crayon terms: It really doesn’t matter to how I live my life if He exists or not. I choose to live as if He does and it has benefited me immensely. If somehow direct material proof of the nonexistence of god appeared tomorrow, or even the opposite, I will still live my life as I have been.

My main point is that the abandonment of cultural sacredness is why we are descending into fascism right now and you whiny little ratheists are a big part of the reason

You really have no idea how many progressive Christians you piss off with your wide-assed brush you keep painting us with
