It'll never stop making me feel insane that writers are made to feel crazy for appropriately valuing their craft while guys who haven't written an email on their own in three years are painting themselves as essential to the future

Thinking for no reason about how we were primed for this moment for decades by entertainment companies and D-list news outlets furnishing us with anti-creator propaganda
Like, there's no reason for anyone to believe that Alan Moore is an unreasonable crank, except Screenrant keeps telling us he is.
If every one of these CEO tech dudes disappeared tomorrow--humanity would go on, and we could survive and possibly even flourish. If we could not write to express ourselves--the same would not be true. We might not survive, and we certainly would not flourish. Writing is the basis of civilization.
Between all the fawning press about AI and the constant trends that people take part in without thinking, it's been hard lately to not feel like they're winning, like people just straight up don't want or care about work made by other humans anymore
People like being nasty, but like with electing Trump, the moment they see the results of the world they made they want the old one. People need writers. AI is just championed by loud annoying lizards.
They have to be loud. If they're not their bullshit dies. Movies will keep coming out by great auteur whether anyone's loud about them or not. A computer that makes garbage needs a hypeman, art does not.
They control the media landscape so it's why this dumb shit gets force-fed to us. I remain hopeful that if there's enough people who simply explain the reality of things like AI there'll be enough skepticism to pull us back from the brink once the propaganda reaches its inevitable failure point.
I hate those AI ads so much. If you’re an office worker whose writing skills are so abysmal that a normal email makes people look at you in shock, you deserve to be fired.
That's what gets me. Communication is a skill. If someone can't even write an email updating others or asking a question, I have literally no reason to believe they have any skill in communicating with others.
I see (and feel) this. The way the non-writers at my day job fawn over how AI makes them sound like real writers gives me agida. But it's "faster" so the executives love it.

He said so many great affirming things about the important work writers do, really helped with getting a good head space.
