The human input is more interesting
Computer scientist Clayton Ramsey shares reasons why people use generative AI to write: they don't care enough, they believe LLM results are better or the writing was never meant for human consumption anyway.
Focusing mostly on the first two, he concludes he would rather read the prompt than the result:
The resulting output has less substance than the prompt and lacks any human vision in its creation. The whole point of making creative work is to share one’s own experience - if there’s no experience to share, why bother?
(From: I'd rather read the prompt)
This was one of the conclusions in my talk Creativity cannot be computed,too. The point of a lot of art is that some human wanted, intended, decided to do something… not as much the artifact they created.
