Nabeel S. Qureshi@nabeelquWell, this is a first: a ChatGPT-generated story won a prestigious literary prize (The Commonwealth Prize). "Not X, not Y, but Z" sentences everywhere, the "hums" trope, and plenty of other obvious markers of AI writing. A major milestone for AI, at any rate... @GrantaMag

Ofcourse there can be value in AI generated fiction but without disclosure it feels fraudulent.

#1332Prakash@8TEAPI😂 the humanists hate AI so much they didn’t familiarize themselves with it enough to identify the enemy and are now unfortunately getting “mogged” (technical Gen Z term equivalent to milennial “pwned”)
