This Blog Won’t Write Itself, Even with AI
And that would defeat the purpose if it did.
One of the biggest concerns about Generative AI is not about the tool itself. The concern is the abuse of the tool.
How many would-be writers will employ Generative AI to do the work for them? Then, how many of them will try to sell that work as their own and use it to make money? What happens when the blog/story/novel can write itself?
Because of the nature of Generative AI, it’s not just being used for writing. Other software has come into being that allows you to make art from words, turn the written word into audio, and do all kinds of wild, creative things that previously required a great deal more skill and/or specialization.
This often turns into arguments of elitism, ableism, and other biases and prejudices, real and perceived. On the one side, you get “AI opens greater access for all,” and on the other side, “AI steals from real artists.”
There is, of course, no One True Answer to this. But like it or not, AI is here to stay and gaining in ability.
However, it is just a tool that can do both good and harm.
