>Porter and Machery found that people were more likely to call AI poems human, than they were to call human poems human

poetry is an outlier because most human poetry is meaningless pretentious dogshit that even GPT-3.5 could easily excel at generating. it's regular prose where their uncanny valley tone is immediately apparent to anyone who's been dealing with them for a while. all models are being trained to be bland, inoffensive sycophants, and you can't defeat their nature even with a 50k token system prompt.
