    I like how you lose faith in your argument the longer your post goes on. Maybe start with the last sentence next time.

          you would think someone who experiments with creative writing “tools” might understand imagery, but when those “tools” are in fact just 3 GPTs in a trenchcoat, it’s not surprising when they don’t

            look, maybe the old adage “takes one to know one” could be disproven by this lack of recognition of tools. there might be a paper here!

      No i’m saying comedy (as in writing your jokes for you) is not something you should expect from language models. As a general rule, there is no tool that will make you a good writer, only (potentially) tools that can help you do more with your qualities as a writer. But it will never be funnier or more talented than you are.

      That’s why i personally experiment with writing tools. Writing standup is one thing, but imagine you’re writing a sitcom or any form of serialized work. That’s a lot of fucking work and obviously if you’re starting out you can’t exactly afford to pay for assistant writers to do the menial labour that comes with it. Language models can come in handy in that scenario, but again you can’t expect them to be the genius in the room if you want a good show you have to bring the good ideas and the funnies. It’s a power tool and power tools don’t draw the plans for the house they just grind where you need grinding.

        Give this promptfucker the props they deserve: usually they don’t just come out and say it.
