AI is deeply flawed and more to the point in NO WAY PREDESTINED. So many of these letters present it like, “welp, we let it out of the cage, now we just have to love the monster as it eats us.” We don’t. We can hunt the beast and kick it back into its crate and then sink it beneath the waves.

Humbling yourself and understanding that people have reasons for things you don’t understand because it isn’t your experience is the first step to being someone who doesn’t completely suck.
The second is humbling yourself and listening so maybe you learn.

As someone who has spent a decade and a half working on safety critical software applications, this sort of thing is utterly horrifying.
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

AITA for thinking my brother should have gotten me a gift for my birthday?
For my birthday, my brother gave me a customary present and he *told* me it was all he could afford, but then later, when we were fishing, he pulled a golden ring out of the water.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, where the shadows lie, One Tim to rule them all, One Tim to find them, One Tim to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, blew up the Death Star.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, has a machine gun now. Ho! Ho! Ho!

I know there are many folks who pride themselves on "never-use." I am happy for them, but cannot claim membership to their ranks. In the earlier days, I experimented with it for a few things, but it gave poor results and I stopped bothering, especially once more information about the ethics came out
I find that I need to clarify. There are probably 50 non-sequential words I can't guarantee I wrote.
I'm not trying to get SFWA's ruling overturned. I understood the first iteration and I understand the new iteration.

But the reason the conversation is happening this way is because Mary Robinette Kowal disclosed that in 2022-23she used AI to write around 50 words of a novel as an epigraph.
