The entropy inherent in human speech seems to set people apart, but I wonder if an LLM trained on the corpus of your writings might also learn to exhibit the same signature brand of witty edutainment. Only one way to find out...

I have no doubt you could train a GunnarGPT, and I have no doubt it will sound exactly like me.

Until I outwit it. GunnarGPT will be a static representation of current me. But meatbag me? Who knows where I'll find the next funny phrase to turn into a terrible pun, or a song lyric or quote to smuggle into a post? Or maybe I want to try - on nothing but a whim - to change the structure of the next post? Who knows? GunnarGPT probably doesn't.

(Also, witty edutainment? I like that, thanks!)

Tomorrow's me will still be recognizably me, but it won't be yesterday's me. At least, I very much hope it won't be.

Only one way to find out... 😉

Great writing and ideas, as always. In my team at work there are people all over the love-hate AI spectrum and now I realize that it fits perfectly with your distinction. Those who see writing as an end product love AI, the others hate it.

Also, your foot notes are hilarious! Here for them (too).
