I was kind of trying to become an author, in my case a writer, and I spent a lot of time perfecting my style and polishing my chapters, and studying the novels I read to write well and interestingly. But a month ago I finally gave up when, after studying the material and asking other people, I realized that I had no chance.

And if there is a chance, then for a year or several to become the author of AI, and I did not want to stoop to such a level, for me it is the greatest shame and insult. Alas, soon there will be much more real art in the comments than in these generated empty shells.

Yeah, I’m damn offended, and yeah, I think I’ve made a post like this before, but now I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk, and now I’m damn hurt, and I keep writing, and I don’t even know why, but I feel like I have to.

Yes, unfortunately, in addition, I am not a native English speaker, so this post may read strangely or stupidly, alas, but I apologize.

    I don’t think that’s the case. Most people don’t want to consume AI-generated content, especially books. Pretty sure there aren’t any really popular books that are AI-generated. Just some bottom-tier slop on sites like Amazon, made to fool people into believing they’re real books. If you’re competing with those, you wouldn’t have been successful anyway. Being a successful author has always been very hard and involves a lot of luck.

      Well, how to say in the future no amount of effort will be enough. Only having a cult status and a niche will help, otherwise you will have to go to a regular job or even die of hunger if you have serious health problems.

      The final stage of capitalism seems to scream: make as much money as possible at any cost, no matter who suffers in the process.
