Reminded me of this counter-perspective from an essay on AI writing: >In the days after the Sudowrite pile-on, those who had been helping to test its novel generator huddled on the Sudowrite Slack, feeling attacked. The outrage by published authors struck them as classist and exclusionary, maybe even ableist. Elizabeth Ann West, an author on Sudowrite’s payroll at the time who also makes a living writing Pride and Prejudice spinoffs, wrote, “Well I am PROUD to be a criminal against the arts if it means now everyone, of all abilities, can write the book they’ve always dreamed of writing.” It reminded me of something Sims had told me. “Storytelling is really important,” he’d said. “This is an opportunity for us all to become storytellers.” The words had stuck with me. They suggested a democratization of creative freedom. https://www.wired.com/story/confessions-viral-ai-writer-chatgpt/ https://www.wired.com/story/confessions-viral-ai-writer-chat...
