So I am getting into that space where I am able to send my manuscript off to publishers but Im seeing "NO AI GENERATED MATERIAL AT ALL" posts. And I get it. Slop. It ruins everything. But there has got to be some lines drawn between the people creating slop with AI and the ones that use it properly as a tool to help them. 

1.) There are plenty of people out there with disabilities like myself, ADHD, Autistm, dyslexia, OCD, etc. that have seemed to latch on to AI to help them create coherent thoughts, outlines write so that allistic people can understand them. I don't see the issue here. It's like a handicap spot in the parking lot. Its there to make access more accessible to those that have a handicap. 

2.) These same publishers are ok with Grammarly, and AI tools that edit? Uhm ok, maybe its the autism and im not seeing the nuances but same shit? 

3.) Its helps pro writers streamline their work and help them work faster. Depending of course on how they use it. 

4.) Ai as I know it cannot produce anything worth reading thats coherent or engaging with a one sentence prompt. I tried several times to test it. It's all garbage. If anyone wants to prove me wrong please link your 100% generated novel here so I can read it. 

5.) Ai chatbots are not just ghost writers alot of us use it to spell correct, grammar, research etc. I think that's the same as using Google (which btw is AI). Again this depends on how one uses it as a tool and not just to produce slop. 

6.) Ai can be copyrighted as of now if you prove that you have influence in the writing (which for me personally I do, I make everything from the characters costumes to the worldbuilding) its all me and my voice I just use it to organize my thoughts. 

So in conclusion, it can be used as a tool or it can be used to shit out slop. We need to stop fear mongering and approach this with a leveled head. I see every time a ground breaking new technology comes out this kind of pushback happens until people realize they use it everyday and in everything. 

However, I would add that legislation needs to be put in place to protect the rights of authors and compensation needs to be had for those that works have been used without their permission. Ai is not going anywhere so we can adapt or cry about it until it consumes us. 

I just think people are going after the wrong people and it should be treated on a case by case and not lump everyone into the same category. Especially since there are plenty of people at this moment using the shit out of Ai right now. Disney uses AI heavily and no one is trying to cancel them but will go after small content creators, why? I think it's time for some of us to grow up. 

\*I did not use AI to write this LMAO\* >\_>
