Referencing the telephone game does not prove anything here. The telephone game is shows that humans are not good at copying something exactly without changes, which computers are better at. But the question here is if AI can achieve deeper understanding of a work, which is needed to produce a good summary. This is something humans are far better at. The AI screws up the summary here in ways that no reasonable person who has watched the TV series (or played the games) would ever screw up.
sure, computers are "better" at "copying something exactly", but why do that when you could swede instead
Did you hear about the vegetarian cannibal?
He can only eat swedes.
Yeah. If I wanted to perfectly reproduce the original series in a different time and location I would use a machine rather than trying to get my local theater troupe to do it, I guess. Therefore AI completely and blatantly fucking up a totally different task isn't a monumental waste of time and energy?
