Publishing an AI-written novel is about as thoughtful as a doctor sending you an LMGTFY link with your symptoms.

Embracing AI writing would absolutely be a disruption of the bad kind.

    why? ai writing is one of the few places where ai might actually be good. topic choice, inwriting, editing are also huge things.

      I’m just going to borrow an excellent quote that applies here.

      “If you couldn’t be bothered to write it, why should I bother to read it?”

      • ilrwbwrkhv 2 days ago

        because you are overindexing on the act of writing instead of how it feels to read. now whether you should pay the same amount for it or not is a different question.

one thing is disruption of the publishing industry, the other is taking monetazation possibiities off authors (despite the piggy-back bloodsuckers)

so, how the AI writing will help the authors? Or, did you mean "authorship needs to be disrupted"?

    authors are already using ai. it needs to be more transparently sold

Nobody wants to buy AI books. People who buy books would see an AI book as an outright scam.

    Corollary: people who don't mind reading AI slop are in a demographic that wouldn't pay for a book.

Because it's built off the labor of actual writers, which it displaced. The people who actually read books also hate this shit.
