This article does everything except actually answering the question in the title.


I think it may be a GPT3 blog:

>Noise is necessary for our brains to function in an orderly fashion. In the book The Signal and the Noise, Nate Silver says that “The signal is the truth. The noise is what distracts us from the truth.”7 Andrew Smart adds that “there are many circumstances in which the addition of the right amount of noise actually boosts the signal.” So within the randomness of the noise, we can achieve greater creativity as the randomness of evolution brings the best out of humans.


I like the thought. The article is not very coherent, you're right... But it did fool me.


It's insane to me that we have already got to a point where we are struggling to differentiate CG text from real articles.


Hmm imagine a GTP3 based VTuber on YT that used a random character generator


Clearly more noise than signal from the author.


It's like a recipe blog, but for half-baked musings


It isn't a good article. Some of the things don't make sense. And it shies away from anything in depth. It really may be a GPT3 blog post, as others suggest.
