I'm a commissioning editor and I'm up to the tits in AI-written submissions. They absolutely reek of laziness and stupidity. What's the point of wanting to be a writer but finding writing to be an inconvenience? I delete every one of them.
@fesshole I would charge double for them and be rich and prosperous.
@fesshole How about taking a step backward and only accepting submissions on paper via snail mail? It won't stop the most dedicated wannabes from printing out and mailing in their AI slop, but surely it would cut out the lazy majority.
@fesshole On the flipside, I'm a writer that doesn't get a look in because everyone wants quantity over quality.
@fesshole
I've met so many people for decades that want to BE a writer, but don't want to BECOME a writer.
That is that they don't want to write, but they want the perceived lifestyle and accolades.
@fesshole you should 100% be able to post this under your own name because fuck AI written nonsense.
Ran into the opposite side of that tonight.
"Please rewrite your long thing to be shorter so I don't have to read so much."
Um...no...?
@fesshole Claude, write me a witty response -
@fesshole the same as with all AI use: people want the profit and the acclaim without having to do any work
@fesshole as a former student of writing and literature, thank you for your service.
