Well I’ve officially made money off my personal writing. It’s an odd feeling to be a creative now who has… fans?
Seriously that still doesn’t feel real.

I remember two of my friends in design school who were roomates accuse the other of copying them - when the truth was they both looked at the same magazines, had the same classes and listened to the same music. This is going to happen on a much larger scale with prompts
Maybe this is an unrealistic expectation on my part but if your response to the question of GenAI is anything but "I don't use it and I don't want to use it" I kind of don't give a shit!!!

The fact that the games industry is so dead-set on disregarding Concept Art as being part of the game it helps make is eternally frustrating to me.
If the slop machine extrudes a design for you that you then force an artist to make "real", that still means there's AI generated content in the game.

You want to know what solves "a lack of ideas?" Or "not enough new IP?" Or even "becoming a skilled artist?" Solving income inequality
I don't want an LLM to emable my creativity, I want a cheaper version of photoshop I don't have to rent, a word processor and universal basic income

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

I keep thinking about all of the people who were NOT hired as part of this exercise. All the real world production crew. The actors. The caterers supporting real world shoots. So many people with real skills not being paid. So. Many. Creative. People. Not. Being. Paid.

Imagine taking more time than it would take to do something traditionally. I bet it would take a builder longer to build a house out of jelly instead of brick, because jelly isn't brick.

The absolute funniest thing happened with one of my readers and I can't even talk about it much because it might spoil something. This comes a little while after a reader asked me about a plot detail that also would be a major spoiler but did so in a way that I really don't want to brush off.
