AI Hype and Type<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having looked further into use of AI writing software used by authors, I have come to the inevitable end, which is a creeping paranoia; just how many and how much of the writing we see today is actually machine-generated? Some of the software programs cheerfully enthuse about generating blog content. Why work hard? Why work? Why? An AI program takes care of that bad thing called work.<\/strong> Also thinking<\/strong>. Also why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI can generate a blog post on any given subject in minutes! (Me; So then wouldn’t it be like everybody else’s blog posts?Same language, same sentence structure etc.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But then…are all the girls on TikTok paid actresses with AI generated scripts? Are the news presenters all robots that have escaped the Uncanny Valley? Is there really a country called Ukraine? And so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also entire novels! “Publish it on Amazon!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how many novels on Amazon are written by software programs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the programs enthuses so: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—“AI novel writing software can be used for many different types of novels. For example: A Sci-Fi story set in the distant future where humans have become slaves of machines. A murder mystery taking place on an isolated island. An epic historical drama about a war that is fought between two ancient nations. Very fast and saves time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

—“You can have a high-quality product that is also original and unique.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—“You’ll feel more confident in writing your novel.” (Me; But I thought you weren’t writing it?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—-“Enjoy seeing your story come to life in front of you.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then: more reasons to use this software:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—“It is helpful for people who have problems with writer’s block.” (Me: people who have writers block are either 1.) not writers and are writing something merely for the prestige of saying “I’m a writer” or 2.) They are writing the wrong kind of story that does not suit them.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

—“You do not need any experience in writing a novel nor do you have to write it from start to finish.” (Me; this is approaching parody and invites some sort of clever ridicule but I can’t think of anything right now) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

—“Based on the information that you provide, your AI program will generate an original plot and well-developed characters.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

—-“People are using this to write books under 7 days!” (Me; I did not eliminate the ‘in’. The AI did it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, finally, it cries out, “Shout me if you need more help!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I’ll just leave this here. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
