AI's Impact on Publishing: Will AI Replace Writers, Editors & Book Cover Designers?

[@kenneth1767]

We as writers need to step up our game and think outside of the AI box. Subtext, metaphor, analogy, parable etc. Every time we use AI we are robbing our creative genius doing what it loves do. I can understand using AI for research, but the quick fix will alienate us from the journey of surprise discoveries. AI will never get Qualia, as Federico Faggin showed in his book Irreducible. We will reinvent at every threat of takeover. This is the human response.

Tahlia here. I agree, and the more we give our tasks to AI, the more skills we lose ourselves. Look at calculators. My generation can multiply in our head and get an answer much faster than our children can reach for the phone, open the calculator app and type in the numbers to get the answer to a simple problem.
