When the headline asks a question, the answer is, almost universally, "No".
The article talks about GPT2 – the AI "writer" that the OpenAI people feared to be "too dangerous" to release into the wild. It's crap as a writer, because writing isn't solely about putting words next to one another. GPT2 can make phrases and even sentences – but that's about it.
I will put my pen down the day I read an AI randomly-compose something that's better than what I could come up with. As far as I'm concerned, that day is in the distant future.
One day in the future we might get on that level, but with the state of the current tech, and even in the near future, I just don’t see this being feasible. AI today is capable of abstract works...
One day in the future we might get on that level, but with the state of the current tech, and even in the near future, I just don’t see this being feasible.
