For many book writers, AI is a threat to their livelihood and the very idea of creativity. More than 10,000 of them endorsed an open letter from the Authors Guild this summer urging AI companies not to use copyrighted work without permission or compensation.

As present in the imagination as politics, the pandemic or climate change, AI has become part of the narrative for a growing number of novelists and short story writers who only need to follow the news to imagine a world upended.

    I feel we need to look at AI as a consumer tool and not a production tool. We shouldn’t have it write “original stories” but use it as a fun feature to rewrite content we purchase.

    Basically the consumer buys the original content and are free to mod the content to their liking, much like a PC game.

    Don’t like the ending… have AI write a different one for fun.
