This resonates: «Generative models are fundamentally cliche machines. If you ask AI to write a film script, it will produce an average film script masterfully. If you ask it to write an essay, it will produce an average essay masterfully.
Once upon a time, mastery of the banal was adequate for writers. It was enough to prove that you were capable of writing. But that skill has no purpose any more – it can be automated. Skill will be found in the purpose of the work. What can you alone …

I wrote a novel using AI. Writers must accept artificial intelligence – but we are as valuable as ever
Mastery of banal style is losing its usefulness – but language is more powerful than ever. It’s up to the writer to do what machines can’t

Any #writers on here in groups that have a good system for managing submissions and critiques? like we could do more with tech e.g. a task prioritisation queue, rather than a month for submissions, a month for feedback, which feels clunky

Detektivarbeit, die süchtig macht: Wörther Familienforscher erzählen
#Wörth. Wer waren meine Vorfahren? In Wörth haben sich Ahnenforscher zu einem Stammtisch zusammengetan. Zu entdecken gibt es viel, auch totgeschwiegene Familiengeheimnisse oder verborgene Schicksale.
