Fuck AI

Is it really that crazy?

Professional writing has always been about throwing as many ideas out there until something catches on. You can sit there and draft over and over again, trying to write the perfect story but if it doesn't get picked up then it doesn't get picked up.

AI takes advantage of this. Our world already cared more about fake productivity and quantity more than quality.

If you're an older author then you don't really care. You can probably use your written works that are popular with AI to get a bit lazy as long as you check over everything and slip in some originality here and there. All the while you use your reputation from before AI became popular and tell people it isn't AI.

Meanwhile new authors have to deal with all the AI content that's out there, content that is constantly being made at a rate faster than anything they can put out.

This isn't a defense. This is just me pointing out that this isn't going away on its own.

Edit: After reading the comments I see what the issue is and I'm just really disappointed. Turns out, AI is only bad when it's invading your hobbies. It's apparently okay to cheat by using it for your professional life whenever possible.

trying to think of the past here. nobody told anyone they were crazy for not using a smartphone or using a desktop. it's nuanced but today shilling for AI means shilling for large corporations.

it's too bad this tech is built on social media algos. i'm still interested in seeing its use for offline training data.

I just gotta say, this is the widest gaps I’ve ever seen in non-downvoted and downvoted takes ever in Lemmy. Everyone is either nuanced about AI or 100% against it. For better or worse, I think all of us will have to use it one way or another. In cybersecurity, because the attackers use it and gain speed and exponential capability with it, we have no choice but to use it also (at least as a vulnerability scanning tool). I think we’ll all find ourselves in such a situation, where either our competitors or other workers use it and we have to use it as a tool to keep up. The horse has already left the barn on this one.

How are writers making money these days?
Realistically there is no way to not use ai anymore.

Another post from this community makes it to All, and it’s another screenshot of social media where someone says “I observed someone using AI, so I shunned them.”

Pretty dumb analogy. Musicians have been using computers to automate as much as possible for decades

If we're gonna embrace black-and-white-only thinking, isn't she a Nazi for being on substack?
