Neal Stephenson Says AI-Generated ChatGPT Is ‘Simply Not Interesting’

The author, who coined the term "metaverse" in his science-fiction
novel “Snow Crash,” says the algorithm-based tool doesn't resonate the
way a book written by a real person does.

Quotes:
Stephenson said that with a painting or book, “what you’re doing is
having a kind of communion with the artist who made thousands of
little micro decisions in the course of creating that work of art or
writing that book.”
A decision that is generated by an algorithm, “that’s simply not
interesting,” he said.

“Personally, I know a lot of writers who are putting a lot of effort
into creating their own original works, and I’d rather support them
and hear what they have to say than just look at the output of an
algorithm,” he said.
