reclaim creative sovereignty
I feel like local anti-AI pieces reveal preferences contrary to those stated. See these two excerpts in Syl's Okay, Fine, I'll Do a Post About AI:
I generally try to avoid talking about AI just because I'm sick of it. I'm sick of hearing about it, sick of it existing, etc.
What if the failure of AI that I'm so desperately hoping for never happens?
Those excerpts alongside the very title of her piece make me wonder what she wants to see more of in the first place. I interpret her realization below as noticing that emerging gap:
AI writing seems to be pretty recognizable right now, but the fact that we're worrying whether our own writing resembles it too much is concerning.
I don't find the worry necessary and her proclamation speaks to why:
I'll write what I want and it doesn't really matter to me if someone thinks it's AI
This approach sidesteps elementary fears of writing passing as AI, them liking LLM-generated writing that passes, and using AI to assist writing.
You can just write, read, and skip what you want however you want to. Better yet, you can do that without giving anathemas so much power and attention.
If you feel compelled to worry about being entrapped in witch trials over something as innocuous as LLM-generated writing, perhaps it's time to discover more welcoming creative spaces.
