Imagine if your disruptive technology was a spellchecker then somebody else made a spellchecker so for the sake of your billion dollar valuation you had to pretend your spellchecker was on the verge of developing god-like intelligence

OpenAI says it has trained an AI that’s ‘really good’ at creative writing
Watch out, fiction writers. OpenAI may have you in its crosshairs. In a post on X on Tuesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that the company has trained a “new model” that’s “really good” at creative writing. He posted a lengthy sample from the model given…

AI does appear to be rapidly accelerating human selection of the fittest….
except it’s doing it by straight-up killing people who rely on ChatGPT to plan dangerous trips, not by improving human cognition like the techbros want us to believe:

“It’s a glorified spellchecker”
That… that’s also what a spellchecker is. It uses already stored information to parse what you’ve written to make sure everything is spelled correctly.

Misleading titled article: www.gamespot.com/articles/sla...
![Following these discussions, I asked Yano if Mega Crit has a firm policy set in place against generative AI, as well as if the team uses AI in any other capacity. Yano explained that while he is against generative AI, he understands the usefulness of AI in other areas of game development and isn’t firmly anti-AI. That said, he suspects that most of the developers on the team don’t use it that often.
“Some of our programmers use AI for code reviews–it’s like a glorified spell checker. I sometimes use it as a slightly more involved thesaurus. But we don’t use generative AI,” Yano reiterated. “I think there’s a very different mentality, right? [When] you write code, you’re just trying to write code in the best way you can to achieve the objective that you want. There’s an end goal that’s definable. Art is not like that. It’s an expression.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bfmlb2jbmqbki3tyupxenxhj/bafkreibat3yornfwovzzj5zbqasxlpqigk6gfx3wl6dfcc7wtrctlgn2t4)

Nobody ever felt the need to steal my book and infringe on my rights in order to build a spellchecker.
‘AI is in everything! If you use spellcheck, you can’t be mad about ChatGPT!’
Look, you determinedly obtuse cantaloupe, don’t slander spell check, first created in 1961, made for PCs in 1980. NO ONE THINKS A SPELL CHECKER IS GEN AI.
What in the ever-loving straw-man tomfoolery.
