Some of the smartest thinkers and forecasters in AI published a plan to save the world from AI, and I think they know no one will do anything with it. On July 9, 2026, the AI 2027 team published Plan A, a framework for a US-China deal to slow AI progress by 2029. At first, it seems strange - people who believe in the upside of AI, who are very thoughtful and rational, proposing something that clearly no one will act on. Heck, they even predict no one will act on it - they call it a recommendation, not a prediction, and forecasters give the US-China deal it opens with about a 4% chance.
But that may have been the point.

Hm, I get not being into Poetry, but a large portion of humanity is into it, so it's a particularly aggressive form of hubris to decide they are all dogshit lovers.
But I'll take your point that poetry is different than regular prose. And I agree that even GPT-3.5 excelled at generating it.
I do think you can get a model to generate spicy, somewhat offensive/edgy content, but even then it doesn't sound like a real person. So I think bland/inoffensive isn't enough of an explanation.

Everyone says they hate AI slop. The research says they can't actually tell it apart. So what's going on?

Subscript | Software Engineer | https://www.subscript.com | Fully Remote | Full-time |
Subscript is looking for a software engineer to join our small, nimble, and fast-moving team
= About Subscript =
Subscript is the first subscription intelligence platform that makes it easier for companies with recurring revenue to get the data they need and wish they had.
= Tech stack =
Node.js/Express/React/PostgreSQL
= Working at Subscript = The world's best talent is distributed globally, and so are we - we're a company founded in San Francisco, but with a team based all around the globe. Across our various timezones, cultures, and geographic distance, there is definitely one common thread among us: We are passionate about helping analytically-minded leaders use insights to supercharge their subscription businesses!
We operate totally asynchronously (no internal company meetings! Really!) and autonomously (no one will tell you what to do; everyone has context on the big-picture company goals and you will figure out how to work towards them with the rest of the team).
Diversity & Inclusion is at the core of how Subscript works Our asynchronous and autonomous model is built around inclusion - we know that everyone has their own life setup, likes/dislikes, and ways of working. We're never going to tell you how or when you need to work, so you can do what works for you. We're a global team that actively celebrates different cultures and backgrounds - and with people in 5+ countries, they are different. We want Subscript to be the place you can do your best work, no matter who you are. Come join us.
