AI Complex

You know that thing, AI. It’s becoming really popular nowadays. There’s something so defeating about seeing a video made from AI or reading a text written by AI. It’s not that it’s flawless, in fact, it’s actually usually pretty easy to see. When you see it and you know you’re not quite at that level yet, that you need improvement, you start to feel hopeless. I’m sitting here watching a video, and I know the images are AI and the voice, and I’m certain so is the text, yet I’m intrigued enough to keep watching. If I’m intrigued, how many others are as well.

The place of art is so flooded with AI that all the people putting their personality into their art are getting diluted out. I’m not a, AI is not appropriate on any level, mentality. I think its a great tool to help people bring to life a story from their own mind. It can help you fill gaps with ideas, it can help you correct some grammatical mistakes, and it can even help you visualize your characters. It’s a great tool, and I think it’s wrong to discount someone for using it to assist.

The fault comes in when a creator uses AI to “do it all”. All they have is a subject, very broad, and tell the AI to forge something with it. Nowadays, it can create entire books, and we have a generation that will be raised in the midst of it that will not be able to tell the difference. How can you compete with that? When there is so much content out there, what brings people to yours?

It’s very defeating knowing that if I can enjoy an AI created video, most others can as well. All my hard work on my book could be for nothing because by the time I finally get it written and edited, AI will have filled that space with millions of books. Mine diluted into a grain of sand floating in an ocean of AI.

I’m not giving in, though. This post alone is an effort to push against the constant beat down of AI content. The only way it wins is if people stop creating without it. So I will keep writing. If my work is lost, so be it, but it will not be lost because I let it be.
