Elias in the Lighthouse, Again? Diagnosing Low Diversity in LLM Stories
LLM-generated stories are a popular use case, but they show very low variability. We sample 20,000 total stories from four current models using five prompts. We find that 11 words occur in 88.3% of generated stories, with little difference between models. These words include names (Elias, Mara, Elara), settings (lighthouses), and professions (clockmaker, librarian). These tokens do not often occur in published literature nor pre-training data, but they are found in preference data that is likely to have been used by all current models. Surprisingly, these "lighthouse" stories are infrequent when compared with the average post-training story, much of which contains references to copyrighted characters or adult content. This result demonstrates the potentially disproportionate impact of small datasets combined with powerful alignment algorithms.

Algorithmic Underground
I have been thinking about something Jean Baudrillard said a lot recently. It comes to mind because of the current moment and what is happening around generative AI. He said, "Art does not die because there is no more art. It dies because there is too much."
