Some Thoughts on AI-Generated Content - by Matthew Kressel

There's a big protest going on at Artstation against AI generated images. Personally, I think we, as a society, aren't ready for what AI-generated media will bring. As a writer, I'm terrified that someone soon will be able to say "write me a sci-fi novel about black holes" and the AI will spit out a 120,000-word book that some publisher might actually print and the average reader might consider "good." I labor over each word, sentence, chapter, and overarching story, and most novels take me over a year to write. And now someone will soon recreate this with a few mouse clicks.
