LLMs aren't artists capable of originality, and thus shouldn't be eligible to win awards for their output.
LLMs are less human than monkeys, and so are not granted any copyright at all for any near-art created through them just as a human can't claim copyright over what apes do with a camera.
The question isn't whether or not the overgrown reddit-comment-simulator is original or not The question is if its output counts as writing and acting. And the answer to that is a strong no.
Any AI, LLM or otherwise, isn’t human by definition.
Human art should be by and for humans. AI art masquerading as human art is reprehensible.
AI art might need its own set of awards though. I don’t see a problem with AI art being valued on its own merits, it’s the deception and theft that are the problems.
Current LLMs being fully based on theft I think should be disqualified, but I don’t want to rule out the possibility that some future AI won’t be worthy of its own consideration.
