Publishers and authors: I’m not buying anything with AI generated content in it

This is short sighted and stupid. Its tons of work and requires a lot of knowledge to get good results out of an "AI" (which isn't AI, not by a long shot). They can't write stories for shit and go have a try getting one to replicate an exact image you have in your mind. You can get in the ballpark quickly, but from there.. good luck.
You are basically saying fuck new creators because I don't understand tech. AI is just a tool, its not magic.
The tool is “trained” on the work of human artists who were not compensated for their work’s use in the development of the tool that they will now compete with. We understand the technology, we just disagree with you.
Human artists are “trained” on the work of human artists who were not compensated for their work’s use in the development of the new artists that they will now compete with. Everyone is standing on the shoulders of giants. Go on back to your cinnabar red if you are afraid of progress. Also give up Photoshop filters and transforms. Give up auto tune. Give up editing software and go back to cold reads and Foley for radioplays.
Or understand that you can still have all of that and also open up a whole world of new stories and formats and perspectives that new tools and techniques allow and provide.
When trained machine voices are near as good as good voice actors I may well buy a book voiced by one. Alexa is already better than bad voice actors. Artists with creativity and a good eye, or ear, or idea will be better at teaming with ai, will get more done than they could have otherwise, and stay ahead of the hacks and the luddites. Find the sweet spot and create better shit.
Life. Art. AI. None of them is a neo-malthusoan race to the bottom.
