Re: AO3 drama development
(Anonymous) 2023-05-15 01:27 am (UTC)(link)I really think this is making a mountain out of a mole hill. I've already seen "AI" generated fic in one of my fandoms and it's quite obvious that's what it is. All it's generated are discussions about how to use "AI" to help with the process of writing (e.g. experimentation) but that the actual output from the computer is crap.
Re: AO3 drama development
(Anonymous) 2023-05-15 01:39 am (UTC)(link)Assuming it follows the trajectory of AI art, it will at some probably not too distant point improve enough to at least generate reasonable pastiches of, say, James Patterson or Dan Brown, with a couple human writers and/or editors to fix the written equivalent of six fingered, many jointed hands.
Certainly that's the hope of a lot of CEOs and venture capitalists and the fear of a lot of people who make at least some income by writing.
I don't, but I have seen my workplace lose about a third of our staff to various forms of automation over ~20 years, with paycuts and higher workloads as well. And even as a hobby writer, it makes me sad to think that professional writers, whether screenwriters or fiction writers or journalists or whatever else, may soon have even less (and less well paid) work because their bosses think machines are cheaper and complain less, even if quality and people both suffer for it.
Re: AO3 drama development
(Anonymous) 2023-05-15 01:53 am (UTC)(link)But that's exactly my point. It's not AI. It has limits, it's not going to improve that much because of the inherent limitations of the programming (the fact that it HAS programming). You can automate a lot of stuff but you can't automate language. Language doesn't work like that, especially the longer the content.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-15 02:36 am (UTC)(link)These fancy algorithms don't have to actually be intelligent or self-aware for their output and the people who own/fund them to fuck over a lot of people.
They don't have to produce groundbreaking novels or treatises on the human condition to screw creators over. Just be cheaper to pay and faster to produce content sludge than actual people.

Re: AO3 drama development
(Anonymous) 2023-05-15 02:18 am (UTC)(link)The way I see it is that big corporations are in charge of SYNTHETIC language generators and wish to produce synthetic writings for profit, in the same way that robot arms are programmed to make the “intelligent“ cars of the future or something.
