- I am amused by the framing of this article because you may as well accuse me of refusing to use a flame thrower in my work. I'm not refusing, it is of no use to me because I am a non-fictition writer. That's all.
- Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
- I'm a priest. I would have said the same about my work, except that I know that at least one colleague is now using AI to write his sermons ...
- That's depressing.
- I also write non-fiction (academic research). Some academics get GenAI to write stuff for them. I don’t because this is wrong in all sorts of ways. AI makes stuff up all the time, exploits labour, steals IP, damages the environment. That’s enough for me to never use it
- Hell, I’m writing fiction and it’s useless to *me*. Automated plagiarism can fuck off.
- When did we have the option to opt out exactly 🤷🏻♀️
- I'm a graphic designer, and I just hate the results. They're ugly. Also, I like knowing that I did my own work without stealing from strangers or frying the atmosphere.
- So you're writing the equivalent of a post about not using a flamethrower
- Are… are you implying that a flame thrower might be of use if you wrote fiction‽ :-P
- My view is expressed in this article published last Friday. open.substack.com/pub/franksmi...
