AI Generated Stories On Vocal? Seriously, What Is The Point?

Even Seeing One AI-Generated Story On Vocal Is One Too Many. A Critique of AI-Fiction

Introduction

When I see that a story is AI-generated it is a red flag to me, something to avoid. Today I have seen a lot on Vocal, and yes they are flagging themselves but seriously what is the point? I don't want to read something that someone couldn't be bothered to write.

AI Fiction

I class this with 3D films and TV as just a passing fad. I don't see any 3D systems on sale these days.

I remember Sky advertising that we could watch football in 3D with the appropriate subscription, software, hardware and glasses. I thought I could just go to a real football match.

While I think AI is useful for system documentation (though it still needs to be checked by a human who knows what they are talking about), what is the point of AI fiction apart from a one-off exercise?

When AI tools became available someone told me how brilliant it would be to not have to spend any time writing their Vocal stories. I said well you aren't writing and I won't read your work. I think he saw the error of his words.

I use AI for art, to avoid accusations of plagiarism, but there are times it will not do the job so I look for free pictures or use my photographs. I make my AI Art available for free on Pixabay here which is a mix of my AI Art and Photography.

AI Music is shockingly good but I use short songs and would never dream of using them commercially, but if I cannot get an appropriate song for my Vocal story I will use an AI-generated piece. This poem has an example.

Conclusion

I know the AI flag lets us know that stuff is AI-generated, but, as I say it just seems a pointless exercise. I would never share my art with an artist community, because I am no artist and would not want to take space that belonged to a real artist.

I think I have said enough.

Thank you for reading.

The music is "All Hail The Machine" from "The Machine Stops" by Hawkwind. Take a listen, it is appropriate.
