This - along with GPT - are great ways to create originality detectors, something desperately needed.

The generators get all the attention, but we should be finding ways to use these as discriminators, so that we can find innovative and original projects.

I would love to get a list of Github repos or Steam games ranked on originality/chronologically. Things that are innovative within their own time. There are people making fascinating things, but it takes days, weeks, months to comb through the wreckage to find them.

I have no faith that these models will ever write Slaves to Armok 1 or Finnegans Wake or Dead Stars or original works in their own time - but I think detecting them might be within reach, which is far more useful currently (or at least within my lifespan).

I also think that human programming languages look cool for a demo - but ultimately, there should be programming languages that neatly interface with NNs or whatever - rather than pure text manipulation. I'm sure a lot of resources get sucked up into that alone, modeling syntax, etc. There needs to be a programming language that AI would use, probably directly manipulating an AST of sorts (unless I misunderstood this model, and it's already doing that).

Original != Good - you'd need a discriminator for "goodness".

I don't think the poster said anything about goodness. Goodness is subjective, originality implies creativity. I personally also want to see more original works in books, movies, tv, and games. After getting into any medium for awhile you realize that most stuff is just a rehash of existing versions & ideas you hadn't come across before (usually because its just a bit older).

Seeing something that could be argued to be "bad" or "dumb" yet completely unique would be my preference.
