An actual AI working for Forbes would have managed to get in a dig at Apple in the headline.

He would join HAL in having an acronym that’s shifted by 1 letter: IBM>HAL, AI>BL.

spockmay OP ,

Close. In reality AI shifted becomes…BJ 🤯

Oh LMAO, i was thinking of the classical latin(/italian) version of the alphabet. I always forget j and k.

"Bruce Lee" sounds like a pseudonym. Either that or the guy had a painful childhood.

I don't think OP is guilty of this, but a lot of people think that current AI-generated content is going to sound like something that doesn't know how to be human or what humour is. That's a fundamental misunderstanding, I believe, that thinks that the LLMs that are popular now have any kind of actual sentience, and simply lack experience or understanding.

Fundamentally, they'll instead sound like exactly the most average or boring (but informed) person, except maybe a bit more repetitive, because they're trained on data and not coming up with independent thoughts. Someone who writes in a unique way and has a unique sense of humour is far less likely to be an AI than the average (yet somehow more accepted) everypost.

I think the AI reporting is actually the more bland and uniform stuff. It's cheesy as hell, and I think that's one of the things that suggest to me that it was written by a person. I'm not a fan of this particular style personally, especially around serious topics, but it's at least informative and I can see why plenty of people might enjoy reading it.

What. The article was a good read!

He/it did a good job making this drab topic somewhat interesting to read. If it’s an AI then it’s a very good one and those striking writers better start looking for a new job.

spockmay OP ,

I totally agree. It is easily the most informative article I’ve read on the new covid variants and all their strange names. It was even sourced! I’ve just never read anything with such an … unusual… sense of humor!

he could easily just be a bit burnt out and be using chat gpt to give him the bones of an article and a bunch of “amusing” phrases and stringing it together himself.

it’d probably what I’d do if i was a journo right now.

Reading his bio, he seems legit. Just has a quirky sense of humor.

I think Bruce Lee is a human whose brain is just functioning poorly because he has to work for a news outlet that isn’t very good.

He’s not allowed to simply write, “A new strain of COVID is spreading, but nobody knows if that’s important or not. Least of all me. The end.” He has to write a full length article or he won’t be paid. And so, this.

How many articles are they writing a day? Often the AI authors will have tens or hundreds, whereas a human would have maybe 1 or 2 max.

his recent average is around once a day

Bruce Y Lee is only producing one a day but if you include Bruce A through X Lee, you get a lot more articles…

But the EG.5# is one umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, that you probably don’t want to stand under because it can still give your Covid-19 and potentially long Covid.

lol

Aesthesiaphilia ,

There's no way in hell an AI wrote that, only a human brain can come up with something that cheesy

Bruce Lee wanted his article to be Spruce-ee
