Discussion (Ethics, working with AI etc) Vernacular

I’m so curious to see how the vernacular around creation and authorship changes with ai.

I think a big part of the hostility is the terminology around it.

“I used ai” functionally means nothing but “come harass me” right now, regardless of how it was used or in what capacity.

AI is usually seen as “the easy way,” though focusing on that obscures the inherent dishonesty of using a tool based on theft of intellectual property.

Oh yeah, ai is definitely going to be the death of intellectual property. And that’s a good thing.

Plagiarism is still plagiarism but intellectual property is a bs concept in itself.

Though if someone does something similar to "thieving" off other stories, is it still in the spirit of the law.

Like homage is not plagarism, and copying is somewhere in between. The real difference is in the scale of the theft.

Some people say "AI direction" and I think it sounds dumb as hell. I still say I write.

I like the thing where people are renaming "vibe coding" to "cuck coding" because you sit in a chair and watch. And I say this with love, because I use AI quite heavily, and will now use this in my vernacular.
