My hot take on the SFWA decision is that it isn't stupid.
1. Bans work written by generative AI = good
2. If LLM is used for research, translation, etc the writer has to disclose it.
I don't like LLMs but the way AI is being crammed down our throats in every piece of software ... (cont)

Co-signed. AI is the worst thing to ever happen to HistoryTube; even as much as an AI-generated thumbnail or narrator and I'm muting your channel. You have a fucking duty to relate the truth of history as best as you're able, and if you're using ehn-good-enough AI to do it, I don't want hear it.
One of the WORST things you could get AI to do for you would be anything historical. Even just with google, never mind AI, a lot of what the internet has on offer is inaccurate, incomplete, or nonexistent. You need a human who knows where to look to get and synthesize the good stuff.

If you’re a manager or AD and you can’t get people to make what you need without an ai example that’s a failure of your communication not theirs. Napkin art it if you can’t use your words, but you can since you’re using prompts so no excuse!
Every artist you know has a fucking reference both in their head and saved in books, objects, photo folders, etc. The sausage isn’t made like that and the experience of being able to take those references and make them into something that makes sense is kind of the whole thing, that’s communication
The act of gathering reference is such a deeper thing than just a fucking collage.
It's research, learning, assessing and building on your knowledge base.
Even google image search is dog shit for this, crack a fucking book.

Also, as a kind of extension of this sentiment: people sometimes get a bit shirty when you slag off "AI" and say there is no ethical use case for the technology, because of course the term has been co-opted by the marketers of genAI and other LLM-related products.
Even if they do find a way to use it that isn't ethically repellent, or produces results that aren't transparently fake, it's always going to stink of these first few years of pathetic desperation.

It's that time of the year where the usual suspects talk about the scourge of shoplifting.
They're using the same data that was proven to be faulty in 2023. Theft by employees is about 4x retail theft, and both, combined, are 1/15th of wage theft by employers.
