Beyond Bad Output

- AI writing improvement does not solve fundamental problems like environmental cost, exploitation of human creators, and centralization of power.
- Training and running AI models produce significant carbon emissions, worsening the environmental impact of creative industries like game development.
- AI systems appropriate human-created work without consent or compensation, threatening the livelihoods of writers and artists.
- AI training methods undermine copyright law, leading to legal battles where creators fight for their rights.
- AI concentrates power in wealthy tech companies that control creative infrastructure via proprietary black-box systems, contradicting the idea of democratizing creativity.
- AI devalues creative labor by treating it as an inefficiency to optimize, harming how writers and artists are compensated and valued.
- The core issue is protecting an ethical vision of creativity that respects human expression and uses technology to enhance, not replace, human capabilities.
