it believes that to “categorically condemn the use of AI writing tools” is both “ableist and classist”. (The implication that working-class people and people with disabilities can only write fiction with the help of generative AI, however, is apparently A-OK.)
nothing about their initial statement implies that the poor and disabled need to or can only use AI. This sort of bad faith discourse irritates me. It’s a deliberate attempt to discredit those espousing an opposing opinion. It’s manipulative and intellectually dishonest.
Idk, I still think information wants to be free. If you figured it out just farting around, sophisticated malevolent actors are likely already doing similar things. Might be better to let the genie out of the bottle, so people can learn to be skeptical. Deep fakes are optimally effective when a majority still accepts the veracity of images as an article of faith.
