I am trying & trying to articulate what a bad take it is for a writer to say "I can't pay an artist" but it leaves me seething on such a fundamental level that I just. can't. do it.

I think folks need to understand that within a number of years, AI-generated "content" will be the microplastic of our online ecosystem.

Fellow writers need to understand the extent to which their online content has been used to program "AI." The "artificial" intelligence is YOU. The "artificial" intelligence is also the artist. We are natural allies in this struggle. The same technology cheapens some of our deepest creative urges.

@mutinyc Oh that's a great analogy as well…

@mutinyc
I am 100% convinced that this is the exact same brainworm as "the point of fiction is to write about things you like therefore fictional representation is always endorsement"In conversation permalink
