"Children of Time"
Thanks, first in line at my local library 🙂

A teenager asked me for recommendations to get into science fiction. I know she reads fantasy, but I guess they are different genres to her.
She said someone told her she should read Dune, and I said nooooo, you should not read Dune. I suggested Murderbot. What else should I recommend?
@boxofdelights can recommend anything by alastair reynolds apart from terminal world. his revelation space series os a good place to start. i also love william gibson though haven't read anything by him for ages. must remedy that soon. 🙂

@boxofdelights The Vorkosigan series by Lois Bujold McMaster. The long way to a small angry planet by Becky Chambers. John Scalzi is fine, too. The expanse series. And definitely don't start with Dune, I agree (and neither some of the other old stuff).

@GustavinoBevilacqua mia nonna ogni giorno mi mandava dal prestinaio a prendere le michette (lei lo diceva in milanese)

@davep That's OK, you don't have to.

I generally don't like LLM-generated images or video. I mostly don't like LLM-generated text -- it's usually flat, wordy, and full of business jargon. I don't use LLMs for either of these things.
-
@evan hmm, I'm not seeing anything like genuine equivalence between human learning and LLM statistical output based on training data.
-
I don't think the fact that LLMs make mistakes is a reason to not use them. It is a good reason to get reference links, and to cross-check any output.
-
I don't use the term "stealing" for ideas, and I don't think it applies for LLM output.
I think that training LLMs on content to produce a model, then using that model to generate new content, is more akin to human learning than to verbatim copying.
I don't think that LLM output is a "derivative work" of the training data.
