i have the privilege of knowing an above-average number of writers and editors. all of them would spit in their own grandmother's face before they chatgpt-ed their art. my information is anecdotal, but so is the majority of this reporting.

I see similar things in the IT space. And though there is likely a higher adoption rate in that group, I'm sure that it's not as high as the grift peddlers want us to believe.

It was funny to read the coders ridiculing the Claude code (which Claude wrote) last night. They found all kinds of completely insane bits of code littered everywhere. I don’t think coders are going to be losing their jobs anytime soon (which we can guess by all the basic shit AI totally WRECKS).

My experience in IT has been the opposite. There's a little bit of reluctance, but mostly it's enthusiastic adoption of AI as part of their process.

anecdotally, editor who is extremely opposed to AI usage here (as well as contrived narratives normalizing it)✌️

An author just adding to your anecdotal collection, would rather die than let the hallucination slop machine touch any part of my process. Most authors I know in my circles feel exactly the same way. Nor have we quit or given up!

I'm more concerned with younger writers who leveraged chatgpt to write their assignments and term papers in college. The notion that they're going to set aside those tools in writing or in editing jobs and fall in line with an honor system they've already violated seems unlikely.🤔

I'm assuming if they aren't naming names it's probably blather
AI's version of "many people are saying..."
