Self publishing has been viable and an arguably better option for more than a decade. For works of quality, that is.
And story writing has literally always been a niche trade, since the dawn of time. A very minuscule fraction of those who do it make it big, and even they start only as hobbyists while having another stable day job.
- nunez 2y agoWhile I agree with you, I think that having a market wherein AI-generated works are the only works that make money will throw the baby out with the bath water. Most authors today make _almost_ no money. Why would someone who wants to write a book invest months into doing so when they are _guaranteed_ to make no money? Why would anyone go into writing at all in a world where almost all publicized works are created with AI?
- dartharva 2y agoHow many writers do you know who have stopped writing because of generative AI? Have you ever considered that the entire premise of generative AI "replacing" creatives is misguided and baseless, and that just because it "can", doesn't mean it will? The most it has done to that end is cut off the top lines of corpo stock image and clip art creators. Even where writers use it to create content and reduce their work, it hasn't replaced them altogether.
