AI Help In Writing Is Lazy and Stupid…
AI use with art is the same.
There are still massive questions about the use of AI in copyright, but mostly anything machine made is not protected. Copyright protects human made work.
And please don’t insult me by writing me about how there are percentages and all that bull. You use AI in your writing or in your art and you are just a lazy bastard. It really is that simple.
Since 2020, Ingrams estimates it has removed 4.5 million books for using AI.
4.5 MILLION!!!
I would not get used to using AI in other places as well, since there is a clear coming bubble pop on the money side of AI. And that is not counting how data centers are getting stopped, blocked, cancelled, and shut down all over the country and the world for the fantastic use of power and water.
AI has its good places, sure, but if you are too lazy to write your own novels and stories and are not willing to spend the time learning the craft of storytelling, please, please, please get away from me, unfriend me on Facebook, and go crawl back into the stupidity you came out of.

Very well said Dean! I’m glad you said it so forcefully as well. It’s the splash of cold water that people need.
When I read, I’m looking for the voice of the artist who made it. That’s very important to me.

Well said, Dean. Even with my 2 years of health issues, I have never written with AI or created covers with AI. I find natural writing and creativity in my covers great fun, and I laugh at all the adverts out there regarding writing a book with AI. It’s cheating and you are not an author.

Amen good sir!

I’m an engineer so it’s smart for me to study AI for work, but I don’t see reason to use it in my writing (for the reasons you stated). A big reason in the beginning of the AI boom was that my characters often have clear voices and I listen to them tell their story as I write. It’s great fun. I often get surprises while writing and the story goes in an unexpected direction.
I’m not going to rob myself of the fun of writing into the dark and risk silencing my characters, just because something looks like an easier option.
Also I’ve spent several years studying the craft of writing, I’m not throwing that away either.
