AI-Written Stereophile Articles

Six Moons is eccentric - not AI.

I would have to agree though that writing is deteriorating in general across the internet and in print media as well, and for obvious reasons - literature is not taught with much inspiration or confidence in the schools; and the vast majority of graduates do not care to luxuriate in language as in the days of old. It's all visual media now.

My daughter is a copy editor for The New Yorker online and she knows her stuff, but she was raised in a household that liked to read and liked to listen to music too.
Writing well day in - day out is a grind. It requires a pretty fierce work ethic to do it well and the assurance that there is still an audience capable of appreciating what you are up to.

The other problem is the pace of the modern workplace which is too rushed for anyone to catch a breath. It shows in the writing and the poor editing too. You can see in so called "major publications" awful, derelict editing - errors that any junior high school teacher would mark in red "careless error!"

Spoken in HAL.

Hey, is AI masquerading as @asvjerry?

A Google engineer says AI has become sentient. What does that actually mean?

"If we think consciousness is important, it probably is because we're concerned that we're building some kind of system that's living a life of misery or suffering in some way that we're not recognizing," said Vold.

"If that really is what's motivating us, then I think we need to be reflective about the other species in our natural system and see what kind of suffering we may be causing them. There's no reason to prioritize AI over other biological species that we know have a much stronger case of being conscious."

WORD

A high school friend of mine who went to Harvard and eventually became head of the Clemson psychology department once told me that grade inflation was in his mind much more serious than economic inflation.
