Icon unrelated, I just like it and haven't used it in a while

I was reminded to ask about this by a locked post and schneefink's recent post.

I have opinions about using AI [1] to produce stories and/or visual work, but they're not as supported/sourced/considered as I want them to be.

So I ask: What are your opinions? Have you read/watched/listened/etc to anything you thought was interesting on the subject, even ones you don't agree with?


[1] It's machine-learning, dammit.

As I said over at Schneefink's blog, I have profound concerns about the ethics of how the information is processed by underpaid and unsupported workers, and therefore if they should be used at all without that element being remedied. I have not used text generation for that reason, and don't plan to start.

I also agree with the linked post there that using a text generator at least somewhat negates the community aspect of writing fic, in that I see creation as a way to communicate with each other.

If point #1 can be fixed (which I don't think it can be), I don't object to them as prompt generators, or ways to get past writers' block, or tools of a similar level, creativity aid if you will. I also hear they're decent at writing for a niche kink if you just want smut to get off to, but again, point #1 with extra attention to the YIKES of all that.
