Human decision making is often driven by greed. AI will allow us to generate essentially infinite customizable content, probably with the ability to imitate famous beloved authors. There’ll probably be softwares you can employ to generate your own stories, and make them infinitely customizable.
We’re at the very beginning and we already see Amazon swamped with AI generated content and art. I’m worried about the future of literature. I’m worried about the future of humanity.
I have no understanding of how people are so confident everything will be fine. Again, we’re profit driven. I don’t think publishers are going to stand for the moral ground.
It already feels like (with how rampant social media content is) nothing is special anymore.
It will be easy to tell what was written by real people because authors will speak up, and all you will have to do is pay attention. I won’t have any problems with avoiding it.
The issue is going to be other readers. And the downstream issue is going to be that publishers are going to be drooling at the opportunity to not have to pay people to write books for them to publish. If people start buying books that are “AI” generated, then publishers will pursue it as a legitimate business model, and reduce investment even further in actual authors. That will make it even harder for authors and readers to produce and experience art.
So anyway, don’t buy “AI” books.
