Ha I actually thought yours sounded pretty cool - but yes isn't it revolting to see your 'style' replicated in some fashion but completely missing the 'you' that makes it yours.

At least they’ll be quoting us poetry as they take us down 😂

The future is bamboozling and definitely discombobulating.

Let's comfort ourselves by thinking of pastiches and forgeries from the past that are also Good Books.

"My Sister and I" by Friedrich Nietzsche is an old favourite.

But they weren't easy to write, and there aren't that many of them.

The only thing we can do now is include some illegalities in our prose that AI won't be allowed to copy.

Or am I just looking for an excuse there. "AI made me do it!"

What an eye-opening experiment. All of the results were unique in personality but cliché in their own ways.

This is frightening, but my brain started thinking of how I could use this tool as a way to overcome writer’s block as well. Technology: love it, hate it.

The free distribution is, of course, intolerable. I hope you’re able to remove the illegal copies. If so, id love to hear how that process went.

La tecnología, especialmente AI, sera una revolucion como el descubrimiento del fuego, la revolución industrial, y mas cerca internet, abre un sin fin de posibilidades y traerá grandes avances, pero como todas las revoluciones hay victimas y el mal uso, por parte de las elites, de las personas que quieren siempre sacar partido sea económico o poder influir en las masas a base de desinformación sera un peso muy grande para tod@s los que han hecho su trabajo honestamente, y se ven engañados, y esto es el principio de lo que esta para venir y quedarse, el tiempo dira si la mayoría está preparada para grandes cambios, te felicito por el fantástico artículo
