It undermines the fact that good writing takes work. Good writers don't spawn out of magic mushrooms, skills honed and perfected.
You gotta write your way to the goodness. There are no shortcuts.

This whole article is interesting and moderately distressing but this quote reveals the dirty truth: the people who are using AI do so because they suck and cannot produce quality work otherwise.
"Why should only 'good' writers be appreciated??" Is a hilariously revealing question to ask.

One of my favorite things about the sun setting so early is being able to peek into other people’s lives 🌛 I’ve always been really inspired by that little glance into someone else’s world! #kidlitart #illustration

Out of the cube and into an office! I suppose this is as good a time as any to say that if send me a #kidlitartpostcard you might make it onto the cork board (look at all that room just waiting for your art!) 💌

It should be noted that the original person who said this is @mollycrabapple.bsky.social - artist and activist. I find it odd that her name got cropped out of the original screenshot (from an article in LA Times, btw) and the uncredited version is the one that makes the viral rounds.

There are quite a lot of reasons to be concerned about genAI that don’t get as much mention.
This is a list of just a few that we've listed in our @aimod.social docs.
