My title might be a bit hyperbolic, but stuff like this worries me. I love to read and I love reading on a kindle. This has been going on for a while, but it has now reached absurd levels.

And work with AI not against it. I mean if AI can quickly make a filler chapter that can be tweaked, more time can be used to make it all get together etc etc. Or so I figure.

That’s a really good point. Use the AI to bridge gaps and for short segments. Probably a good way to get around some writer’s block.

Yeah, though it would be more challenging to make a living when it lower the barrier of entry for writers.

Yeah for sure, but someone good at biology can surely handle AI, while other writers might not.

This seems way to stem biased imho. Interacting with chatgpt isn’t really a technical skill. And editing prose certainly isn’t. I think writers, especially creative writers would be way ahead on prompts (basically an outline) and massaging the output into one more cohesive whole. Good writers can probably also discriminate between powerful prose and overblown pompous language that GPT can output sometimes.

The other thing is I would hope that good writers would never have a filler chapter. I don’t like needlessly padded content of any type, and if I notice that my ranking of the content goes down.
