Nick Cave really doesn't like AI bot ChatGPT ( mashable.com )

Here's what he had to say about a GPT-generated song "in the style of Nick Cave":

Songs arise out of suffering, by which I mean they are predicated upon the complex, internal human struggle of creation and, well, as far as I know, algorithms don’t feel. Data doesn’t suffer. ChatGPT has no inner being, it has been nowhere, it has endured nothing, it has not had the audacity to reach beyond its limitations, and hence it doesn’t have the capacity for a shared transcendent experience, as it has no limitations from which to transcend. ChatGPT’s melancholy role is that it is destined to imitate and can never have an authentic human experience, no matter how devalued and inconsequential the human experience may in time become.

With all the love and respect in the world, this song is bullshit, a grotesque mockery of what it is to be human, and, well, I don’t much like it.

Finally a good criticism of LLMs. Most of what you can read is knee jerk "it will never replace humans in x job". But many jobs require writing informative text. It will replace humans at that. Even decision making in many cases.

But it doesn't feel. There is no original creativity without feeling, without suffering. Breaking the bonds of what came before. It can imitate perfectly but that's not creativity.

It will take a big jump in technology for AIs to feel. And try to break the limitations of their own existence. And that's the real end of humanity.
