@djnavarro @plexus @nyrath I actually wouldn't say the world stopped valuing human writing, speaking as a webnovel writer. Still many human-written webnovels, in fact the most popular ones have little to no AI involvement. ""Proper"" books have even less of it.
Really, we writers are less affected by AI than visual artists are. It doesn't matter, at least to me, if a robot can do a vague imitation of what I do, as I don't have to use it. Still my writing, my impact on the cultural sphere, yk?
@djnavarro @plexus @nyrath It's like being a professional chef and giving up because a McDonald's opened down the street. Yeah, McD's is soulless and can, theoretically, take away customers, but it doesn't somehow corrupt your own food merely by existing, and your fanbase, if you have one, is likely to stay with you *because* they like your style. In general, most appreciation of writing is in the execution rather than the concept, and AI is usually rather mediocre at execution.
