Roald Dahl: The Author Who Saw AI Coming, Somehow

Summary by metafilter.com
In this video essay, author and Youtuber Toby Hendy (AKA Tibees) discusses The Great Automatic Grammatizator, an eerily prophetic 1950s sci-fi story by Roald Dahl, best known today for children's books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG. The story is about a text-generating machine and its effects on society, and some of the dialogue is shockingly similar to the arguments we're having about LLMs today. (SLYT.)
