Can you? I can drive a car, but Michael Schumacher can get an F1 car to go around the track way faster than I could dream of. Have you ever seen a bad interview? and then, have you ever seen a really good one? The questions the interviewer asks is important!
It's generating buzz alright, but anyone with AI can do it.
Usually this kind of content doesn't reach HN because the antibodies kill it sooner. If you're arguing the antibody-bypassing succeeded here, ok... but that's not a solid defense of AI slop.
I don't know if you missed my point or are ignoring it to win internet points so I'll be more explicit. You, the human (presumably), are the driver and interviewer in this analogy. The LLM is the car or the interviewee. How the blog's operator can operate the machine is different than you or I can.
It's more like a musician "playing" a player piano or a singer performing to a backing track with an auto-tuner or a driver "driving" a self-driving car. The machine is doing all the work, the human is just (at most) prompting it.
Whereas really playing a piano or performing live or driving an F1 car or writing a long essay takes some real effort and talent. That's what makes it interesting.
Before Ai, in the music world, DJs are also "just" playing someone else's song, but it turns out there's a lot of skill and effort involved in being a good DJ.
