Best I can say, if I try hard to find a difference with average French, is
- "no foreign accent",
- "perhaps a little posh?",
- but maybe what sticks out to you is "slightly breathy voice"

I, too pirate my music, films and software for AI training and no other reason at all.

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed.

There was a shimmer - a demon appeared.

"Curious. What ritual is this?"

"I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!"

"I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

C'est vrai.

Technically it sounds like "pussy, I farted," if we're being precise.

Then I assume there are a few back and forth rounds with the editor? What / At what level do they comment on? Or do they take it as is?

Same, and also to suggest that it be done by walking backwards.

3) longer-word examples I could imagine were emphasized roughly the same as when not yelling.

Mostly context-dependent? 1) In your example I could imagine the accent on AAA if I'm surprised and it starts as a scream & ends as a warning 2) Trying to imagine other situations i only saw myself yelling one-syllable word sentences...

Ghostbusters 2. I was ~4 and begged my parents to let me see it with them. It TERRIFIED me, I think we had to leave the theater.

That is weirdly good. And yeah the consequences are creepy.
It's funny (as in 'terrifying') how the speed at which these things improve keeps surprising me, even though recent years should have taught me to revise my expectations of pace.
'SciFi in Our Time' I guess.

I'm afraid that won't happen without the kind of societal consequences cataclysmic enough to bring *all* of humanity to grab the pitchforks and kindle the torches, first. Not looking forward to that step.
Plus I kinda like Quillbot.

Actually I'm guessing it's only a matter of "what new task will we _first_ ask a NN to perform, instead of a human?". I'm in a field of research where people are more than happy to throw LLMs at anything that moves, so I wouldn't even be surprised if that hadn't happened already.

Why would it? What's the underlying question or assumption?

The ChatGPTs 20 years from now may solve our Future Problemsโ„ข, including brand new ones, without the need for another "standard" program to have been written by a human. Or do you expect that it cannot be the case?
