I remember when ChatGPT came out, people were very impressed with how well it could write poetry. Except the poetry was garbage. They just couldn’t tell, because they lacked the taste in poetry to know any better. I think the same thing still applies to fiction/prose generated by ChatGPT. It’s still not good, but some people can’t tell.
To be clear about my predictions, I think “okay”/”acceptable” writing (fiction and nonfiction) will become easier for AI to generate in the next 2 years, but “brilliant”/”clever” will not really.
