I saw that “I wrote a novel using AI” story. Oh, I thought, you mean “I didn’t write a novel”. Noted the name, so I can avoid accidentally buying anything purportedly “written” by him.

It really gets under my skin how the boosters insist we treat AI like a real intelligence, yet if that were true, then the AI is the true author of that book and deserves the credit, not the person who prompted it.

They transparently want a slave they can extract the labor from.

God, yes. I keep thinking of these prompters who claim to "write" or "draw" things with "AI" as being like going to a restaurant and ordering a custom meal, and then claiming you cooked it because you described it to the waiter.

“Wanting slaves really really bad” is the motivation behind a distressing amount of the entire economic landscape.

If everything the AI CEOs are telling the press about the capabilities of their AIs is true, the logical conclusion is that they're currently enslaving intelligent lifeforms with their own interiority and emotions - and they should be on trial for a laundry list of crimes, starting with kidnapping.

Apparently that author uses other pen names.

Or at least, I’d assume so when they don’t even write books. It’s all about the cash grab.
