GenAI is terrifying. And not just because livelihoods and the environment are at stake, but because I can’t help but wonder how us as humans will carry on when our stories are no longer written by us, but by machines. We have had stories before we had written language. They were not just something to pass the time but it can be argued that they were key to survival and acted as a guides. And continue to guide us through the world today. Give me a lot of existential anxiety, as if we didn’t have enough
I would be interested to hear more on your AI diatribe because maybe we can also have wise dialogues that aren’t driven by the emotional extremes of being hooked into “rage bait” “pity bait” or ‘FOMO bait.” How many other emotional hooks are secretly embedded….lets see so we aren't only blindsided. Someone recently suggested we use gen AI ONLY to amplify our greatest strength. I am still curious what that looks like…or is it a fantasy? .Maybe it is a Plot Twist podcast inquiry or you can choose how when and where you continue this “AI diatribe”…cos you are the wise Queen, Victoria🙂.
Please please make them stop using AI. I am an avid reader and mom to two little kids and I fear for the future of all creativity! The authors who have signed have all made it and are still not respected for their blood, sweat and tears. I fear for those building their creativity and voice in this world. I am appalled at the billionaires not remembering all the torrent site take downs, turning to the exact same situation and not having any FBI warning on the authors and designers creative works. I do not understand how we can copyright movies and music but not the written word. All the hard personal work that has contributed to the publications. I am forever and always with the writers and artists. The world should never have taken this work without protection on it.
I am signing on with you! Why do we volunteer for this kind of disgusting social generative AI experiment when it is NOT the future unless we all agree to it? Are we only lemmings blindly following the masses..i say no! lets not sign up for souped up siris and reorient where we find our north star! I am outraged for and with your Red Queen, Victoria ..lbut lets see if we can create a Tempest in the teapot even though i do not know what that is…maybe your next book will show us😊🙏
I agree, hopefully better protections can be integrated as writing enters the equivalent of the spam mail era and the market becomes extremely flooded.
Theoretically we just need higher penalties for publishers and distributors for allowing/distributing work that illegally uses AI trained on copyrighted content.
By design the legal system already says you can't patent purely generated content, GenAI companies are getting around this by selling a service to access rather than trying to sell the outputs.
I'd be quite interested in a process to limits the text output of AI models per prompt to less than 2,000 words (perhaps per day). Anyone generating that much text is only imo doing 1 thing, publishing a story/book. Not sure how to legally write and justify that restriction though.
I thoroughly agree with your open letter to publishers. Unfortunately I am pretty useless at this tech stuff. I can’t find something to sign. I wonder if you would spend your precious time and send me something to sign directly. My apologies, kind regards, Jennifer Robinson

I am an author, and an artist. AI terrifies me, not just because of its potential to damage creativity. Read this and you'll understand:
