Chiang argues that the potential of large language models remains "largely theoretical" - thus far, generative AI has been most successful at "lowering our expectations... It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology...".
Chiang emphasizes that the output of generative AI will never be art, defining art as something that results from making a lot of choices. Those choices engage creators in communication with their audience.
According to Chiang, "We are all products of what has come before us, but it's by living our lives in interaction with others that we bring meaning into the world... a purely automated process cannot replicate this."
