I think there's probably some discussion about using AI to write fiction that should be had.

But.

Passing off your AI output as "human written" should be punished somehow. As a fiction reader, I don't care what ChatGPT has to say, even if you think you prompted it into a publishable story. I want to read stories written by humans, and I want to reliably be able to tell which are and which aren't, so I don't spend half my attention while reading trying to work out if this is an AI or not.

I have no clue how to make that come true. Part of me is sitting here thinking "I'm glad I'm old enough that I can spend the rest of my life reading fiction written before about 2020 and never run out of genuinely great human written stories."

Plagiarism. Fraud.

The article mentions months of a team wasted.
