This is why jumping to conclusions is a bad idea and muddies the water.
Thank you for sharing.
I’ve been accused a few times of using AI to write. I’ve always just been verbose and write essays.
If anything, AI has stolen from me to generate what it does. I was always the type who didn’t care about getting assigned essays in school because I can write 10+ pages on anything.
I had a date accuse me of using AI to generate texts to her this summer. Felt really shitty. It was my own words and zero AI. I wouldn’t do that to someone I care about.
That sounds so disappointing.
Happened to my daughter, to. We raised our kids bilingual, so the teachers rated them native speakers in English, which is foreign here. On top of it, she edited English amateur writers as a hobby when she was still in school. So, yes, she definitely has command of the English language.
When she went to university, other students asked her which AI she was using to write that good. Which seriously pissed her off, as she hates AI.
I am sorry that happened. People are really touchy about AI. I am beginning to understand why. Thank you for sharing.
Fair enough.
I know artists are struggling, but this infighting and accusations saying “REAL ARTISTS ONLY!” is going to be extremely damaging to just about everyone involved.
This is why it’s so important for people to just be honest and transparent, we cannot demonize AI usage because otherwise we risk people hiding their usage and entering into a witch hunting nightmare scenario.
It’s definately a distraction. I don’t see why artists can’t make hybrid AI art. Using prompts then augmenting by hand or vice versa. Maybe some already are and they are afraid to admit it?
