People gave the highest ratings to stories generated by AI that they were told had been written by a human, and were unable to tell the difference between human- and AI-created stories, according to new research published by Cambridge University Press.


“public assumptions about the capabilities of AI are increasingly out of date”
writing stories is another to add to the list of things AI does better than humans
I agree that the anti AI crowd is consistently out of date or misinformed about AI. It’s an echo chamber which makes them believe AI is less capable than it it and the anti AI crowd should work on that. More of the real arguments and less of the “AI bad at tasks”.
