the saddest swing in baseball
4/6 '23
I hope this guy meant to ask this question in our podcasters' community for the same reasons I would, but if he didn't, it's the saddest question I've encountered in all this time of teaching people how to make podcasts.
"Why would someone want to listen to a podcast when they can find out what they might want to know by asking Bard or Chat GPT4?"
Why would someone want to hear the live cover of "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" performed by Belle and Sebastian when they could hear the Smiths' original recording?
Why do people like different flavors and brands of ice cream?
Why does Lancome L'Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick in 493 Nuit Parisienne on Lynda Carter's lips look different from Wet n' Wild Silk Finish Lipstick in Just Garnet on Angel Marie Kerrigan's?
If two baseball players with the same batting average go to bat against the same pitcher, do they equally hit the ball as far and as fast?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?
That's precisely what a bot would say.
LLMs (Large Language Models) can only imagine the shade of lipstick gracing Lynda Carter's lips if someone else had written about it before, and even then that detail would be filtered out as idiosyncratic.
Why read a book when you can read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia? Why, indeed.
