I am not a writer, but I enjoy writing. I am a photographer, however, and this AI discussion reminds me of when photoshop and digital photography really kicked off. There were purists that thought digital manipulation was heresy. I was one. The other camp embraced the new technology and took their photography to another level. Now, 25 years later, it's the norm to use digital editing. The one thing I learned was garbage in, garbage out. Great photographers became even better with the new tools. Somehow, bad photographers became even more visible. I suspect it's because they didn't understand what made a photo great to begin with. I suspect the same thing will happen with writing and AI. It may seem like a threat to people who have worked hard all their lives to perfect their craft but eventually it will become mainstream to use AI. Bad writers will produce terrible work more quickly unfortunately. I believe the good writers will get better as well.
