As a writer myself, this sounds incredibly depressing to me. The way I get to something sounding like something I would write is to write it, which in turn is what makes me a writer.

What you’re doing sounds very productive for producing a text but it’s not something you’ve actually written.

Maybe he just want to summarize things. I'm writing in Spanish. Of course I won't let AI to write this very post ---even in my bad E. But there are things in my Obsidian written in Spanish, by AI. They're sounds like nothing, sometimes you need something to sound that way: informative, aseptical. But it is good to hear about you anyway, when some people thinks, or fake they think, AI can write, let's say, fiction.

I am torn, as someone who is learning Spanish and should be at a strong A1 [1] by the end of the year, I would be horrified to think about posting something in a public forum based on my Spanish speaking ability.

On the other hand, I’ve had enough conversations with Spanish speakers in Florida like at my barbershop and a local bar in a tourist area who speak limited English and I would much rather have real conversations between my broken Spanish and their broken English than listen to or read AI Slop.

[1] according to this scale, I’m past A1 into A2.1 category now. But I still feel like I’m A1

I write to communicate with myself or other people. Just like I use AI to go from I need to do $X based on my ideas and designs to I did $x. It’s not about “art” or “passion”. It’s about a paycheck

I don’t think it needs to be about art or passion. I just don’t think someone who relies entirely on AI generated text can accurately call themselves “a writer.”

I don’t call myself a writer. I call myself an employee who needs to exchange labor for money to support my addictions to food and shelter. I was writing and developing long before AI.
