If there’s one thing ‘AI’ fans just don’t get about writing is that professional writers aren’t looking for ways to get OUT of writing. We WANT to write. There isn’t somewhere else we’d rather be.

Like asking a Tennis pro wouldn't they like it if there was a way to automate returning a shot.

There's always laundry you could be doing.

Aside from, as Dorothy Parker once said, "having written."

There are two camps — one is the the technofuturists you are speaking about. The other, unfortunately, is the hypercapitalists, who don’t give a damn what you want because they are looking for a way to fire you.

The problem is that there are a whole lot of people who desperately wish they were writers, but who either can’t or won’t do the work. They’ve just moved from cornering you at a dinner party to share “this blockbuster idea I had” to typing it into a chat window.

AI appears increasingly to be a tech solution in search of a problem.

This isn't for the writers, the artists, the creatives. This gives them nothing, only steals. This is for the techbros who want to be the Next Great Thing - without actually doing any work. Push a button, here is your best-selling novel, and everyone will love you and give you money!
