A lot of times when I write I think about lore in the universe (eg The Sentience Accords) that gets referenced off to the sides of main action. I'm betting that we'll eventually discover sufficiently large language models compose their own underlying lore
E.g, right now getting LLMs to explain why they generated stuff is pretty intractable, and x-ray tech like mechanistic interpretability hasn't really scaled. I figure people are going to latch onto worldbuilding as something that differs human/AI art. I'm betting AI will do this
It's probably easier to compose a story or image if you are drawing on a bunch of sophisticated features which you only gesture/hint at in the final work. What latent universes will we explore as we decide the inner workings of these models? What 'imagination' shall we see?
