Sophisticated AI systems like OpenAI’s GPT-3 can write prose that’s impressively human-like, or at least good enough to fool the average person. They’ve been used to generate essays, poetry, stories, news reports and more to impressive effect.

Money doesn’t need to be protected from sudden vibrations or direct sunlight, so the term “dry powder” strikes me as a poor metaphor for the mounds of cash investors were dropping on startups just a few months ago. “What’s crazy to me is that some of these companies are still in the seed stage backed by very large firms who dabbled at this stage,” said Elizabeth Yin, a general partner and co-founder at pre-seed-focused Hustle Fund. “An extra $200,000 or $500,000 wouldn’t make a dent in a b
