#people must have some audacity to just generate prompts and upload them to ao3. LAZY METER SKYROCKETING

[radaverse]

Reminded me of a recent convo at an english class about art, ai and ai art.

"Ok but what's it with all the AI hate?" The mini essay answer lol

I personally don't 100% hate it since if used well, it could be a good tool for research. It can answer specific questions while giving you quotes and links from articles to look at by yourself (Not too reliable though), and could save you some trouble (Eg: You want to do medical research for writing but also avoid graphic imagery, could work for that)

B u t

People are using it to completely replace their creativity and that's lazy. And unreliable. Wasn't the point of AI just being a research tool?

Here's why I think it's wrong:

AI does nothing but quote, so that means it takes human-made writing to make its own. And that usually doesn't bring quotes like it does with info, so that's theft don't you think?

Unreliable. Often makes up things and doesn't understand characters in such depth as a human would.

It's fake. The AI doesn't write, it mimics. Whatever it makes, it's not real, deep, emotion or effort-filled.

The class video brought a question. Would you like a robot as parent or teacher?

The robot could act like one. Teach you useful things, cook for you, give you advice, comfort you. But deep down you'd know it's not real. It's just a result of data mimicking. The robot is not feeling, it's pretending to feel.

Same thing is about art. It can and often does look good and sound good, but it's still thoughtless parroting. No effort, no thought, no feeling. Not real.

Gonna be honest, when I first found out about AI it astonished me. (I live somewhere where tech isn't so techy so techy things bewilder me) But soon I started to find out why it's so discouraged, and rightly so it is.

Look, if you can't write well and feel like you have to rely on AI, maybe do lots of research and dm to make mistakes, that's what makes writers writers.

You'd feel proud of your work and improvement later. You'd miss that out if everything was made by a machine. You'd not be a writer but a prompt maker. A faker. Sounds bad, cuz it is.

I hope this can be helpful to people who genuinely don't understand why using AI as creativity replacement is wrong, but lol this is just my view of it

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.
