Most writing today is artificial. I'm one of the few writers left who use real intelligence, instead of artificial.
There's nothing wrong with AI as a tool. If you're lazy, have writer's block and can't think of anything to say, just type something random into AI (or even just say it, you don't even have to use your fingers).
My contemporaries could care less. They will say, "I write all my own stuff, too. I just use AI to help me brainstorm."
But that's not actually true. Run "their" writing through and AI checker and you'll see. Whoever your favorite "writers" are most likely use AI for some, if not most, of their material.
I recently wrote a piece titled, Social Engineers Want AI to Think for You. It's decent. You should read it. It's certainly better than any generic AI slop that you read on your other bookmarked sites.
It doesn't seem like a hard thing to comprehend as to why AI "thinking" and "making decisions" for people would be a bad thing.
But then again, I'm sure most people 20 years ago thought, "Staring at these smart phones all day can't end well for the human condition."
I've often said that knowing is half the battle. The other half is behavior.
It doesn't take "the science" to tell people about the potential downside to staring at a phone all day. Just like it doesn't take geniuses like yours truly to tell you that "artificial" intelligence actively replacing human intelligence probably isn't going to turn out well.
Well, assuming who you are, I suppose.
Remember, "artificial" just means "man-made." Thus, it's not like AI is some kind of organic, independent operating system of intelligence. It's been programmed by Man.
Go talk to AI about any controversial social issues and see what it says.
Try to get it to say "bad" words. Not curse words, of course it will say those. But "offensive" words, that might hurt people's feelings.
AI is programmed to indoctrinate you, by thinking for you. It is slowly replacing the modern education system.
AI is Orwell's Big Brother. He is watching.
To be frank, me writing this is just a waste of time. I mean, not really. I'm a writer, I write. But, from the perspective of people reading this and then deciding that AI is bad and they aren't going to use it, that's not going to happen.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I write for the future. For my legacy. And for my family tree, so my bloodline can know me.
Writers like me are relics. We are a dying breed. Appreciate us while we are still here.
