I find myself more and more on the side of the people destroying data centers.
It's everything anymore, not just writing.

But right now, I'm starting to feel like I'm competing without arms and legs while being stabbed with needles.

I'd be all for going back to pen, paper, and note cards.
I need to know first so I can get the stuff I typed on print.

Well, do you want to write because you have a story to tell or do you want to write because of money?

Obviously the latter. We're old. Money makes the world go round.

But if you got a story to tell (let's face it, most don't have it in them, but let's keep digging), then write.

You can use AI to churn, you can have it write it all if that's what you like.

But in the end, is it your story that you want to tell?

I feel like I am trying to dissuade you into AI, but then I believe in you.

Yeah bro, i know.
I lost my last job (Not writing) Last September.
Want to guess who i lost it to?
AI.
No replacement, no notice, just 6 years and poof.
I get it.
It will replace everything as far as i can see, except physical labor.

I'm so tempted to have AI churn out Wattpad originals under another psuedonym.

I can probably direct them better because if I have the time and energy I could write them by hand.

But hell, seeing the AI cadence in so many stories, many of which get popular, is deflating. Especially seeing the quickly generted perfectly clean syntax when I struggle for hours to remove repitition and poor word choice.

Well, I gotta earn a living somehow if I want to feasibly continue writing at even my current pace. I'm sinking too many hours into a dead hobby that is leaving me broke, ridiculed, and isolated when I could pursue more lucrative options.

Nah, do so if it benefits you Jay.

To me, AI is a tool to use and many has already learn how to abuse it.

This really reminded me of a CN cyberpunk where the MC mocked when AI replaced human writers and then got replaced by synthezoids because the cycle of life.

1. I can continue as I am, pounding my head into a brick wall.
2. I can quit writing to pursue an actual life.
3. I can bend to the tech gods and become a cyborg writer.

I gave it three years, but it just hasn't worked out.
No decisions yet, just things I need to consider.
