I’ve touched on the issue of ChatGPT in the last few articles about artifical intelligence. While there is value in it, I ultimately find it to be disruptive to the entire human creative enterprise. So do many people.
Many bloggers admit to using ChatGPT in their articles, and it’s been progressively harder and harder to tell the difference. How can a user compete with someone who churns out slop articles with no time or effort on a platform in which members already have to compete with the millions of other articles posted daily?
One of the goals of AI is to help “boost productivity.” However, the issue I have with this is that the productivity comes with the cost of humanity.
When a member donates money to the Patreon of one of these users, who are you really supporing? Them, or Sam Altman? Who really takes the credit for their work? An evil writer might optimize ChatGPT so much that they can make it appear that they authored it, with a few text prompts, some basic editing, and without any disclosure whatsoever.
I’m not going to include those who do use AI responsibly, but to every blogger who doesn’t, who uses it to “boost productivity” (and revenue), here’s what I have to say: What are you really getting out this? What are you getting by sacrificing your chance of synthesizing what you know in a meaningful way by relegating all thought and effort to a hunk of silicon and lithium? You do know this is going to impact you later on in life, right? What will happen when there’s no electricity to power these machines, and you’re left having to figure out how to communicate ideas through pen and paper without platforms like ChatGPT? But perhaps you don’t care. You think writing is yet another tool for profit, not a journey to self-knowledge.
So, to every person who encounters this blog, I want them to know this:
I pledge, as a writer, as an artist, as a thinker, that I will never use AI for any of my projects. I will never sacrifice my conscience to a machine that negates any point of creativity, and really which only exists to serve greedy futurists who care for nothing about the human race. Everything I do is done by hand and heart. I see no reason to use ChatGPT, Grok, or Codex, nor do I need to. It has taken my entire life to become as good as I am with my craft, and I will not outsource it to anyone, or anything. AI brings not just the death of jobs but also the death of art itself. Its risks vastly outweighs its benefits. Until we can actually get a grip on how to properly use AI, I will not, and will never, use it.
