I find your reaction intriguing since I had nearly the opposite reaction. Especially when it comes to the second piece I had little to critique about it technically (maybe a little from a structural standpoint but not as much grammatically), but I found it incredibly dull due to its complete lack of any real point. With your musical analogy, it felt to me like a piece where all of the instruments were played perfectly, but failed to make a song I actually would care to listen to again.

This I agree with; for someone who may not be as gifted a writer, but still has something interesting to say, generative models could help with that. I just hope that people don’t lean on these models for generating ideas because if that story was any indication, that’ll just lead to a proliferation of boring, soulless works.

Agree. This reminds me of a kid's school assignment, which sounds impressive, but really misses the point. A kid with no real writing talent or experience given this same prompt would also cargo cult some uncohesive drivel like this.

That lines up pretty well with how much ChatGPT responses ape the stereotypical school essay style of being 1/5th introduction, 3/5ths content, and 1/5ths conclusion that reiterates the content.
