That's not religion. Let me reiterate: > She uses the AI for a job that should be hers, not the AI's. Also what would she otherwise buy the AI for? Cooking recipes? I'm on the free plan and hardly hit any limits. She didn't ask it "what profession could person X be in an Y novel". She asked it to develop (rozwinąć) a story. It's not that hard to understand that developing a story is actually her job. Small details (p…

Also, the framing of "winning the cultural debate" is telling. Typically this refers to what will happen, not what should happen. I.e. it's basically just saying, "I think what will happen is what I want to happen", not an actual argument for why you want it. It's a red flag that you are arguing from a tribalistic position (or "religious", you could say).

Try to stop calling people you disagree with a "religion". It's within reason to believe that AI can have a technically useful place in the creative process and it's within reason to believe that AI should not be anywhere in the creative process as a principled opinion. Also, the framing of "winning the cultural debate" is telling. Typically this refers to what will happen , not what should happen . I.e. it's basical…

Sure, but it's not an excuse for making the world a shittier place by publishing more AI content. It's very known that AIs have agreement bias and mostly agree with you.
44% of new music uploaded to Deezer is AI generated.

Also she said 4 years ago that "literature is not for idiots". I don't think calling people names is a good way of promoting your content. And now she's complaining that the amount of people reading her works is declining?
Furthermore, she accused academic teachers of narrow thinking (apparently calling people 'idiots' wasn't enough). Honestly, Andrzej Dragan works [1] are arguably more important, but who am I to judge?

Maybe she instead of glazing herself should get a reality check.

She's not "publishing AI content". We're not discussing anything in good faith anymore and should probably leave off here.

#88I have no idea of this author, nor care if she uses AI to research topics, but fact checking? Do people use AI for that?

What? So this whole thing is blown out of proportion? If she didn’t use LLMs to write the literal sentences then what’s the issue?
There’s a subset of the anti-AI crowd that treats any involvement of AI anywhere in the chain as tainting the work.
Re: Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk used AI while writing her latest novel
#90The author said that she used AI for research which I find reasonable. I just ordered two of her books House of Day, House of Night and Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead .
