  will bet money that these new writers will start writing for AI model feeders and make money. These prompt engineers and these new writers will shape GPT content. Editors are the ones who will not be needed. https://www.techmeme.com/...

  The fact that there are AI people out there like “writing as a side hustle is easy money and a good way to make passive income” have clearly never attempted to make a living as a full-time writer 😬 https://twitter.com/...

  It's more than just literary magazines. If you allow UGC, AI content can be submitted too -> Editors at some literary magazines say they are getting overwhelmed by AI-generated submissions, potentially crowding out genuine submissions from newer writers https://www.theverge.com/.…

  In a world fast-flooded with AI-generated fiction, authenticity through authentication or subscription may become necessary. The end of the “free for all” is nigh. https://www.theverge.com/... #GenAI

  “Outlets like Asimov's are getting overwhelmed by AI chum, taking up the time of editors and readers and potentially crowding out genuine submissions from newer writers. And the problem could only get worse” https://twitter.com/...

  The trajectory for AI generated content is very much in the vain of crypto grifts. There is an unlimited supply of people wanting a buck or status without any effort and they overwhelm legitimate effort This is how you turn a promising tech to dirt. https://www.theverge.com/...

  Can't wait for ChatGPT bots to replace the people emailing me asking how much we'll charge to backlink to their casino or crypto pages. https://twitter.com/...

  The makers of LLM spam-generation software are all too happy to SEO spam to sell hustle culture cult marks their garbage, to the detriment of the broader culture https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  A prominent science fiction magazine closed submissions this week after a crush of AI-generated content. It's not the only sector being flooded by ChatGPT powered get-rich-quick schemes https://www.semafor.com/...

  Imagine thinking that being a freelance magazine writer was a “get rich quick” scheme lmao https://twitter.com/...

  The idea that literary fiction is being packaged by influencers as a lucrative, get-rich-quick scheme is so funny and divorced from reality. https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  “In optional cover letters, some authors include instructions on how to wire them money for their story that has not yet been accepted.” the absolute arrogance of not having any idea what the fuck you're doing and thinking that AI means you don't need to know anything https://twi…

  the ChatGPT-generated content isn't able to actually pass itself off as quality writing. “These are not good. These are not even remotely good,” @clarkesworld told me. https://www.semafor.com/...

  We gotta stop calling this “AI-generated writing” and start calling it what it is: chatbot logs https://twitter.com/...

• @jaycaspiankang Kang on x

  This will pass in like 3 months but it's only significance is that it kinda shows the limits of how ChatGPT can actually make ppl money. Really you can't think of a better scam than trying to win 50 dollars and 2 free copies of the sewanee review? https://twitter.com/...

  New: AI-generated short stories are flooding literary magazines. It appears to be the latest “side hustle” scheme — but the stories are bad! Some tropes: -Science fiction titled “The Last ___” -"Piercing green eyes" -Characters always sitting at first https://www.theverge.com/...

  AI-generated fiction is flooding literary magazines — but not fooling anyone https://www.theverge.com/...
