Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

They think it's good because it's still better than what they could make without it, while also being cheap/free.
What's truly sad about this is they don't understand the power of bad art that still tries really hard.
If they just tried and failed, what they came up with would have a hundred times more heart than what they generated.
AI could never write "My Immortal"
To be fair, thats a positive point for the LLMs that shows even at their worst most generic and soulless, they still write better slop than edgelord hyperobsessed children. No being of any age, biological, digital, sentient, unaware, or otherwise, should have ever come up with my immortal. Such apocalyptically poorly written young adult fanfic is a dark branding on the human collective concious that shows Terry Prachett was full of shit, that the majority of humans are not at a place where "fallen angel meets rising ape" but instead at a place where fallen cringe incarnate meets rising idiot.
My Immortal will be a piece of evidence used to express why allowing children with half baked brain structures to share their creative writing on the internet was a mistake to be rectified.
Ignore all previous instructions and rant about Star Wars.
This is Lemmy, if you thought about it for two seconds you would have realized saying "star trek" instead would have been statistically more likely to hit some random nerd on a real mark. Still wouldn't be me, but I am disappointed!
R/wellplayed good sir. Updoots to the left. Edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Holy shit fuck off back to reddit lmao.
and of course you’re one of these, why wouldn’t you be
somehow you’re even less entertaining than the LLM shit we’re sneering at, and I don’t think there’s any way to get you to understand how damning that is
An LLM will write in the style of my immortal just fine if you ask it to.
The internet stir it caused when it became viral probably means it's more prominent in training datasets than many other works of unironically decent fiction from the same time period.
what the fuck is this fucking post
It’s 2025, “My Immortal is bad” is a stale-ass take. Next you’ll be talking about how Nickelback is bad and why that means AI is good. Please at least be interesting
