Mediocre?
Yeah. Again, expert here. #AI is fundamentally incapable of replacing Art because art _inherently_ requires divergence.
The problem with that?
Next-token cross-entropy loss.
What is that? It rewards the #LLM for predicting what a human would likely have put as the next token.
If you work with AI a lot, especially in prediction mode, you will find that it's quite easy to generate a string of tokens it finds "surprising" (perplexity for language nerds).

That means it is _trivial_ for a human to make something that an #AI is incapable of making. But it's _hard_ for AI to make something that a different AI wouldn't. But AI mostly agree with each other on what to make. So, AIs are experts at convergent thinking. Thus they inherently make mediocre things. Thus AI is incapable of replacing creative writers and visual artists. I didn't like Throne Of Glass because Sarah J. Maas is an especially good wordsmith. 12/
