I feel strongly about using AI to write anything. I simply won't. It completely defeats the purpose. The struggle? That's part of the process. It's also part of the growth and reflection every writer needs. What I do NOT need is to hit a button and watch AI vomit out a story as generic as it is. I'm sure it's incredibly quick and may even be a usable story. I would rather reach up into my own body, grab my ovaries, and tie them in a knot. Feel me?
Ads are exploding all over my FB for "tired writers" who just can't quite seem to manage to blog. Okay. I try to blog every 3-5 days. And usually something, EXACTLY LIKE THIS, has triggered my short ass. But if not? There are a million things to write about in terms of either my professional or personal life. And if I'm not up for it? Then I don't blog. I don't whine about it and then goose a robot and invite it to write on here. This is mine. My thoughts and feelings. That's like not wanting to "Mom" for a day so I grab a stranger off the street and ask if they'll take care of my child for a bit.
NO THE HELL FUCKING NO WE DO NOT DO THAT
Writing isn't easy, but it's a labor of love. I'm stressing the term "labor" here, kids. You receive what you put into it, and it needs a lot. Tapping a few buttons and having anything else write YOUR story isn't being a writer. The relationship isn't there. You're two strangers on writersmatch.com. And you may not like what you get.
I think we're still in the honeymoon phase of this nonsense, and it's going to take off for a bit. It won't last long for the real writers. The Stephen Kings and the Margaret Atwoods. They won't even give it breathing room. Because they're too busy writing.
Always writing*
