A random thought

With people now using AI to create stories and books, is it even worth writing anything anymore?

If someone is looking to publish, it seems kind of futile since, much like anything that becomes a quick buck maker (thinking of all the people who saturated the markets with vinyl stickers produced with circuit, anything that can be quickly mass produced for cheep by anyone), the book industry will just become saturated with people publishing low quality AI created books. This greatly affects self publishing authors because they will be the first to be in direct competition with these AI books.

I mean, it won't affect me because I decided a while ago any writing I do will be for me and those I wish to share it with and not for mass audiences. But I have to think that the organic writing will eventually be made irrelevant and undesireable as people use AI like 1000 monkeys at typewriters.

@FoxyQueen I just read the book Homo Deus and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari that deals with the future of AI, pretty alarming stuff.

@JimboSaturn whenever I think of AI, i think of the commercial that is played during some of the podcasts I listen to that is a total advocate for advertising using AI. It finishes the ad with the statement, "Using AI the way it was made for".

That is such an icky ad. AI is just another capitalist tool to make people more endentured to corporations and exploited labor.

I know it is, and I appreciate this ad's complete honesty, but it still makes me feel ill when I hear it.

@FoxyQueen I'm afraid AI will replace humans' ability to think for themselves. AI will understand our personal needs better than we know ourselves.

@JimboSaturn Well, social media has already hijacked a lot of people's critical thinking skills and the ability to question information and find info without biases, so a large portion of the population is already primed for something else to do all our thinking.
