I’m not concerned about AI outcompeting competent writers or impacting my career directly. I am deeply concerned about AI swamping submission systems and destroying the ability of editors and readers to find the next generation of writers.

AI is very much a danger to the long term health of the field not because of competition for quality readable fiction but because of its ability to create dreck in previously unimaginable quantities and drown submission systems and indie publishing in shit.

@KellyMcC Technology will easily be able to filter out pure AI crap. In the end, AI isn't going to cost anyone jobs. People using AI are going to cost people not using AI jobs. It's just a tool you can use to move things along. Good writers will continue to outshine bad ones, AI or not.

@thegamersdome that's not what I'm hearing from the people actually working in editorial who are drowning in AI generated content. They can filter it out by hand, but the AI filters are both expensive and pretty shit at identifying AI generated content.
