KaleidotropeI continue to be shocked by magazines and writers that continue to use generative AI. Even if you think it looks good (it doesn’t), or you’ve convinced yourself it’s ethical and non-exploitative (it isn’t), the environmental cost is so ridiculously high it should be a non-starter.
Shantell Powell@kaleidotrope I've had a couple of pieces published with a magazine. For my first story, there was an attributed illustrator. The second time, they used AI. I no longer want to send stories to that magazine.
Me@Shanmonster @kaleidotrope interesting. I often skip past articles that have an ai header image (on the assumption that if they're lying in the image, then I don't trust the text either) But I had not realised the image isn't always the author's choice
@carlog @kaleidotrope authors rarely choose the images.
