Earlier quoted context omitted.

I’m not entirely sure I get it. You can literally prompt the LLM with “therefore” or “but,” and it’ll continue. You simply take the text generated prior and append “therefore,” and it’ll keep generating. If you want to lend more intentionality you can frame it with “therefore ” and it’ll continue generating with that intention. I’ve been up all night flying internationally but I might have misunderstood.

No, not really. The body of text GPT is trained on gets its own interpretation of 'but' and 'therefore'. If you feed it 'therefore' maybe it'll start writing legal documents. If you feed it 'but' maybe it'll just contradict itself, or express some triviality. What you'd need for Matt and Trey style 'but' and 'therefore' is entire prompts being introduced in the background and switched out. Imagine thousands of words…

I think that’s sort of unfair and untrue, have you used GPT? Yes if you naively use “therefore” you might. But it explicitly semantically matches the context. If the context is a south park story and with prompting in the context of how to respond to trailing therefores it will almost certainly follow the semantic context prompted with. Now - is it as good as Matt and Trey? Of course not! It’ll produce a relatively bland imitation.

The interesting thing here is that Matt and Trey have codified intentionality as a primary writing tool, and whatever this is, doesn't mention that once. That's a pretty major thing to overlook, like a blind spot or achilles' heel of the AI devs. In fact, this is a blind spot of ALL AI that I've yet seen. Matt and Trey approach writing scenes with the following intent: if a scene can be described as following up a pr…

Weird watching south park with zero humor in it.

Its giving 'pokemon go to the polls' energy - people using a random pop culture reference to flaccidly try to promote their ideological preference.

I hated it, and was only impressed until I realized how much manual human labor went into its construction. The editorial influence of the humans involved was far too heavy handed. I would have preferred something alien, weird and incoherent.

Here's an example of what AI can actually do - full synthesis of script, visuals and audio. It is incoherent but also strangely unsettling: https://www.tiktok.com/@never_ever_never_land/video/72531490...
