Make money doing the work you believe in
* Peco and I will return home from our stay with family in Switzerland tomorrow, and I’m ready to dive back into work! One of the many interesting projects I’m looking forward to:
I will start compiling a directory of “AI-mish” authors on School of the Unconformed. I will not waste a second reading AI-enhanced/ augmented/ scented writing, but instead throw my time, attention, and support behind authors who embrace fully human creation. Please add your recommendations for authors who have committed to not using AI in their writing. The goal of this is not only to direct readers toward “writers for humanity” (see writersagainstai.net), but also to affirm writers that their fully human work matters, offering an antidote to AI-encroachment in the creative process so sadly exemplified by Nobel Prize-winning Polish author Olga Tokarczuk:
“Often I just ask the machine, ‘darling, how could we develop this beautifully?’ Even though I know about hallucinations and many factual errors in the algorithms in terms of economics and hard data, I have to add that in literary fiction this technology is an advantage of unbelievable proportion.”
