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.

Too often I find myself pondering the same. I see seller descriptions on eBay that scream AI authored because the opening sentence is duplicated and there's no substance outside the basics given on the item(s) for sale/auction. It's a lazy method of selling that is, to me, insulting to the potential buyer.
That laziness and lack of human perspective in our reading material are seeping into our consciousness.

@onrealityofdreams Creating copy to sell things is hard. I'm the first to say it is difficult to create a header that is going to grab eyes and drag them 10 feet.

So if you are looking for an eye catching headline to get people to at least look at your item, I can forgive AI useage. But if they are using it to describe that item to make it more enticing, yeah. Not only could the AI be off base, it screams of "Here's this 5,000 word diary entry of something remotely related to my recipe that you will have to slog through (with all the pop ups and ads!) before you actually get to see the recipe".
@FoxyQueen I see that far too much.
