This is a fantastic framework (maybe doubly so as I just attempted to make something from a recipe that didn’t involve the microwave).
And to take your stance to a little further, the second I see “blatant” AI, I’m out. I’d much rather see something with a thesis that’s maybe not quite cooked long enough or with too much paprika that the sterile templatized stuff someone got from feeding Claude (or whatever). To be clear, I've got a few carveouts (non native speakers using it as a de facto translator, people pressure testing their *own* ideas, etc), but by and large it just feels disrespectful. Like you know I’m a vegetarian and still grabbed gas station sushi on the way home for us…
(Yes, I know I killed that food analogy. Sorry about that!)
I Feel this in my bones and yet, for some kinds of work (like the research heavy stuff I do in the day job, all the finance stuff etc.), there's a real acceleration that is legit happening. Ideas are getting generated, not just text. So I want to be SUPER respectful of that. I'm seeing GREAT work come from these collabs. But it's just not gonna get my rapt attention the way other stuff will.
I agree. So I read the bit by the computer guy you linked to.
My comment to his (overly) long missive:
"Why? you spent 30 years teaching computers to speak intelligently to each other? By intelligently I mean sounding like a creative human. And you want me and others to join you in teaching computers to talk intelligently ? To whom? Each other? Isn’t that like Sky Net in the movies? That’s a bit creepy. Sarah Conners wouldn’t like that, I don’t think..
So it’s been like 7 years since you wrote this paper( do you know there are studies done that conclude that 50% of academic papers are full of baloney? just sayin.). How’d it go? have the AI computers got any better at fooling us ?
I mean I thought humans were doing good at being creative but you think a computer can do it better? Not with my help. pal"

Fair points!
