The difference, I could tell, in the two pieces that you linked to was a little more subtle. With the one that was AI generated everything was technically written well, grammatical, all of those things, but yet there wasn't any life behind it. It read more like a manual trying to be a story. It followed all the classic ways and forms of story telling, but didn't have what makes it a story.
The other one you could just tell it came from a person telling a story. There was life, something that made it feel like you were listening to a person talking. You were hearing about their day, their experiences instead of having text regurgitated back at you.
It passed in the House, but if you know which way your person voted, you can call them to yay or boo them. It's with the Senate right now, and truthfully I don't think that provision should even be in a *budget* bill, since it has nothing to do with the budget. But you can tell them you hate it. (And all the other horrible things about the House version.)
Between the 2 samples, I found it easy to tell which one was human vs AI. But like you said, if I hadn't known one of them was AI-written, I might never have suspected it. With the continuous technological advancements, it will only get harder and harder to tell them apart. As an aspiring author, I can't help but fear that AI will only take more and more opportunities away in an already-saturated market, simply because they can churn things out so much faster.
Great post, Jodi! I too can’t fathom why someone would give up the absolute joy and revelation of creating something all their own. But I think you and I and many authors are here for the love of the art, and these folks who can’t craft without AI are only here for the money. And some of them are rewarded for it. We just have to keep writing, like you said, because AI doesn’t have the depth and beauty of human experience we can instill in our work.
Great post, Jodi! My current way of coping with AI is just go around feeling superior that I think it's stupid, but yours sound much more actionable lol
AI is an unprecedented threat to creators. Your work can be fed in and stolen by unscrupulous players. I'm seeing publishers, as part of your initial query, demanding full novel manuscripts. Don't do it.

Yes, there was underlying tension and emotion that the other couldn't match.
Amazing thoughts here. I think so much is yet to be determined and we'll see what happens. I'm definitely motivated to call my reps.

This is a fantastic piece. Nodding my head along to basically everything in here. Thank you for saying it all so eloquently. 👏

The fact so many writers are thrilled by AI kinda tells us something : )
