Numerous sources have claimed that GPT-produced text is indistinguishable from human-written text across several genres. On 3/31, Gabi Kirilloff & @claudia42.bsky.social give a talk arguing that not only does GPT not write fictional narratives like a human, it also often fails to write about humans.
