I'm actually using that as a catalyst for my own writing; beauty/human-ness in its imperfection. Prior to LLMs and their cultural craze, I harbored a fear that my writing would allow for someone to draw a box around me and mark me as a bore, dullard or of lacking originality.
Now that the noise-floor has been artificially raised (and generated), my crappy words are starting to have their own happy little carbon-based rhythm.
- away0g 12d agoI always feared to pick up a pen because I looked at Borges, Tolkien, and such. Their talent and works of art were things I felt I could NEVER achieve. Then ai fiction started to spread and now I feel like its my obligation to produce original works, lest the world be consumed by slop.
- reverius42 11d agoEven before AI could write them, more slop books written by humans were added to Amazon each day than a human being could possibly read before the next day (probably by a few orders of magnitude at least). Don't just create original works for the sake of creating more original works -- there are plenty of them already. You should write if you have something to say.
