Isnt that just AGI? I'm not gonna hold my breath.


>Isnt that just AGI? I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Or it could just be a fluke random AI achievement. It will still be humans judging it as "more human than anything humanity could write" or not.


We've made huge strides with GPT-3, which has arguably already surpassed at least some percentage of the humans with its writing capabilities.


Which is maybe not too hard, since quite some percentage of humans still cannot write at all.


TBH I don't think humans are creative enough in bulk to require AGI to sound human.

Individuals checking individuals: yeah, you can detect non-intelligence. But if I told you half of all buzzfeed headlines are machine-written... would you believe it?

Honestly, yeah. Buzzfeed headlines aren't exactly the most creative or hmmm...deep?...meaningful?

There's only so many ways you can write

'10 reasons why x does y and that's bad'

Or

'Omfg x just happened, better y right now.'
