I think AI will do a bang-up job as the replacement of a corporate head honcho who doesn't have the faintest idea of how the creative process actually works.
People who aren’t writers think writer’s block is at least as big and real a problem as I thought quicksand would be, as a child.
AI can help authors beat writer’s block, says Bloomsbury chief
Publisher last week reported jump in revenue in academic and professional arm thanks to AI licensing deal

Writers! Note that AI translation (under the guise of "global access") is being seen/used as the weak point to get AI into publishing (possible bc Eng lang publishing is weak on translation). Stand with translators & for more human translation, fairly paid!
The founders of independent publisher Bloodhound Books have launched a new AI fiction translation service, Globescribe.ai 👇 #BookSky

An author trashing bibliophiles is like a priest hating on the faithful.
Any reader, reading any book at all, is a star.
If they're reading my books, yay!
If they're reading books I don't much like, yay!
If they're reading books that I don't understand, also yay!

not an author saying this 😭
i’m seeing WAY too many takes lately hating voracious readers or saying ‘book lovers are annoying’ and i can’t figure out what the point of being so judgy towards bibliophiles is (like i got called a ‘book fetishist’ yesterday for loving books) lmfao

To which I say, "hey, philosophy professor, when did they give us the option to opt out?"
Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
The people refusing to use AI
Worried about the environment and the loss of skills, some people are resisting the rise of AI.
