I also find the same with generated content in other video games. At its best it’s passable and that’s about it.
Minecraft would like to have a word with you…
Comment on Black Mirror creator unafraid of AI because it’s “boring”
aesthelete@lemmy.world 11 months agoTruly groundbreaking art may not be what people usually seek, it’s often something they don’t even know they want until they experience it, or they might even fail to appreciate it.
Everyone in these threads likes to talk about being impressed by these llm or not being impressed by them as being some sort of intelligence test. I think of it more as a test of a person’s sense of creativity.
It spits out a lot of passable text very easily, but as you’re saying here its creativity is essentially nil. Even its “hallucinations” are just versions of things it borrowed from elsewhere injected slightly to wildly out of context in order to satisfy a prompt.

Minecraft isn’t generating new animals or narrative. Landscape generation is relatively straightforward from an algorithm / computation perspective. If it started generating its own models or characters or character dialogue I suspect it would very quickly fall into the territory of what I’m talking about.
There’s just a feeling of emptiness to me that’s pervasive in games with main parts of narrative or gameplay that are randomly generated.

And who is to say that we humans don’t process creativity exactly the same way? By borrowing from things we encounter.
Even the earliest creative expats of humans was just things we saw in nature, which we drew on cave walls.
We humans just have more experience since we existed longer, so the line feels a lot more blurred.
I also encountered games made by humans that were so boring I couldn’t manage more than 10 minutes.

That’s part of it, but it’s definitely not all of it.
There’s more creativity in the average prompt generation than there is in any response I’ve ever seen from ChatGPT.
If creativity were as simple as mashing a few things together as you’re saying, ChatGPT would be there already because it’s obviously what it’s doing.
