We can never talk enough about artificial intelligence.
Is using it unethical? Stupid? Clever? Condemnable? Unacceptable? Good? Bad?

Some people barely think about it. Others worry too much. I don't have any big answers. But as a reader, I know one thing: I still prefer to read a human book.

I came across an interesting reflection and wanted to share it with you.

People assume that books are different to the chocolate bar sitting in front of counter in the corner store; but, if you stop and wonder about consumers reasons for buying many ‘genre’ books, they are largely for pleasure; immediate satisfaction, comfort, fun, escapism. None of these are bad reasons on their own, yet they are the very reasons these kinds of books will become automated, produced in the Artificial Intelligence factory.
Factories, for two long centuries now, have produced ‘pleasure-consumables’ for the mass - and some assholes have finally worked out how to mass-produce books. If you already have a big enough audience, or are very lucky, you may be one of the few that can survive writing genre fiction in the same manner of those who became successful in the twentieth century. Yet, if you’re like me, and who loves science fiction, fantasy, crime, thriller, and horror - do not, I repeat, do not attempt to compete with the machine.
Artificial Intelligence is truly, a gross behemoth and, despite what I wrote earlier, no one deserves to have the thing the love to do - which provides them comfort and joy and for the lucky even money - become automated. Yet you should see this an opportunity; if it was really your goal to create transcendental art - to be an ‘artist’ - then the other path of ‘selling out’ is not really an option anymore.
The mass has Artificial Intelligence for that.
