Someone got an LLM to create a pretty good stand-up routine for other LLMs.

My first reaction was: wow, the LLM is pretty funny!

But I realize that that's partially an illusion.

The LLM, working in tandem with the human, is pretty funny.

The human is deciding how to prompt the LLM, and which things the LLM produces that are compelling enough to share.

Presumably most of the output was pretty bland or uninspired, but we see only the highlights, from the human's curatorial taste.

Humans only bother to share things they think are good. That curation is an act of creation^[alt].^[alu]

The combination of a savvy, high taste human and an LLM are a powerful creative duo, much stronger than either would be alone.

Irreducibly co-creative acts.

The human as supervisor or editor to the LLM.^{[alv][alw][alx][aly]}
