TRUE.

Brilliant essay about writing and AI-induced existential dread. "If I didn't hope that an appreciative reader would be unable to miss the scent of my sweat equity—my humanity—in my writing, I never would have toiled so obsessively, or for so long."

So this is an AI-generated meme from Cursed AI on FB. The other AI-generated memes I've seen have been either extremely incoherent or super-generic/unfunny, but this one... this one is disquieting. (Does AI know something we should really know?) What other AI memes have you seen?

I couldn't agree more. Knowing that AI-writing capabilities came out first because they're on-screen and involve less barriers to implementation (vs. AI doing our laundry and dishes, which would require hardware/infrastructure)... doesn't help! Go do my laundry, AI, and don't forget to fold it.

"Clankers": the first slur for AI. But somehow it hits different when the receiving end isn't alive enough to care it's being insulted 🤷‍♀️

"Generative AI is a kind of psychosis-as-a-service." (No-paywall link to "AI is a Mass Delusion Event" article from the Atlantic.)

Ever use AI to edit a message, and it literally changes the meaning (even slightly)? And you try so many times to get it to say what you actually mean? And finally you're like "OK AI, have it your way" and just send it? Like your way... just wasn't meant to be. 🤔

The O.G. meme that started this journey for me

I so love this

😂

Honestly? One thing that really grinds my gears about AI writing are those little, reductive, patronizing, bolded subheadings that precede each point. They're the style element I love to hate. (You can't put all of human behavior into neat boxes, AI!)

Remember the narcissists in YOUR life, and behold their excellent support system.

This is what I call "McShakespeare": well-written prose in elevated language, but super-similar in word choice, composition, and tone to many of the other pieces out there... that originate from AI. Writers, we have to be careful. Let's not lose our edge!
