I was watching TV with my mom and it had a disclaimer at the beginning that the tv show we were about to watch used AI so I made my mom change the channel

as someone who has peeped a decent amount of ai writing i’m begging you to ditch your fear, ai can hardly write a good couple paragraphs let alone a whole novel

AI books are so so so bad. And writing, especially complex stories, is a very complex artform. As someone who is in AI research let me tell you that AI is decades away from replicating it competently. If your writing level is above an elementry school level you are fine. It is good at dry and evenly formatted texts like assignments and essays. But creative texts? Novels with character arcs, an author's distinct voice, carefully crafted plots of an interweaving world? It absolutely sucks at that.

Who’s writing novels with AI? Absolutely not. I won’t read it. Maybe for brainstorming purposes but not to write it 😭 As someone who writes, that’s like the ultimate insult to me in the same way AI art is offensive to real artists

I’m writing a novel at the moment, and I use AI just for feedback to make sure an idea makes sense within my overall story structure, but people using AI to literally write the novel for them makes me sick.

Get a grip. Keep writing and doing what you love, don’t let ai ruin it. There is really no more competition then there ever was

like the thing about ai is in short form it can write well enough, it does what i call “functional” writing where there’s not so much focus on individual word choice/lyrical type writing but it transmits the story itself well enough (and frankly, at least without specific coaching and even then, it tells that story in a very shallow way)

but once you start trying to get it to write much longer things it becomes increasingly evident how odd and weak writers these generators can be…repetition of words, phrases, and sentence structures that doesn’t at all seem deliberate…over reliance on similes/comparisons in general…a general lack of specificity of detail, setting, character, voice, just this overall vagueness…

there are things that i see ai writing do that even the weakest of human writers would (almost) never do, because they are thinking humans with some sense to them. i promise your work is not for naught. not to the people who actually eve cared about writing in the first place.

It's slop and just bad quality compared to human art. It is pretty much the one thing humans outperform it in by miles when it comes to even relative simple prompts in prolonged creative writing

Even that’s a bit too far for my taste. There’s TONS of people online who can give you better feedback, don’t feed your creative work into a machine that’s only going to harvest it for profit and rip you off
