cfiesler : Hi, AI ethicist + fanfiction expert here. (This is one of those times where I feel uniquely qualified to comment on something…) I’m seeing this weird game of telephone about the Sudowrite AI that I think started out pretty accurate, but now has become “Elon Musk created an AI that is stealing your fanfiction” (which frankly gives him far too much credit). I can probably say more about…
