I wonder what this group thinks of some of the new AI writing applications. Mem X now has Smart Write and Smart Edit. See this video:

As I wrote in the comments for that video, this feels like the end of civilization to me. I meant that somewhat facetiously, but I do wonder what this means for the genuine written word.

A great man once said, “A man ain’t nothing but a man, but before I let a steam drill beat me down I’d die with a hammer in my hand.”

I may die with a pen in my hand, but I’ll die with ringing prose, a plot nations could go to war over, and when my lifeless head finally sags into my keyboard you can rest assured every word was crafted by a real writer, every last worddddxxlkjlkarelkjej…..

We have AI-generated deep fake images and video, AI-generated writing, etc.  Of course, we also have the problem of perception and reality that has been a core philosophical problem in many cultures since forever.

I noticed that you left off one of the most common AI uses; in trading markets. There’s actually a reason for this AND it’s the reason that AI painting & AI writing programs also are ... and likely WILL be ... a disaster far (far) into the future. They’re unreliable AF. Literally billions and billions and billions of dollars have been lost attempting to make AI trading profitable. It isn’t, because machines are laughably inferior to the human brain.

Deep fake videos might be a thing, but writers—like traders and painters—will be safe for tens/hundreds of generations.  Or until U.S. Republicans finally kill of the planet with their climate change denials; within 50 years or so. In fact, Arizona has about 20 years before Phoenix and a bunch of other AZ counties will be uninhabitable. Coastal areas have about 40 or so years before they’re flooded in America.

Worry about that more than AI because the future will be a terrible time to be alive, thanks to America’s lack of leadership because of its Republicans. It ain’t politics, it’s science.
