saw this
an author that was defending AI generation, and basically reducing all furry is to just an aesthetic, something frivolous.
I was chatting about her yesterday as well.
Condensing some of the thoughts.
"ai art and furry literature are functionally the same, I am very smart"
"it is a frivolous space, unserious, no need to bother myself overmuch, easily obsoleted"
she is writing in furry spaces but absolutely dismissive of the human element in it
like, absolutely seeming to completely misunderstand how furry is
well
so much about personal expression no?
like
seems to treat it as just
an aesthetic rather than
an avenue of personal expression and exploration?
"If someone could write my work with chatgpt better, I would read it"
That thought is alien.
there is nothing inherently wrong about SOMEONE's entire engagement with furry to just be aesthetic
It is dismissing everyone else who is not engaging solely like that where it gets to be a problem
and why dismissing graphic artists like that is so insulting
and then today with the defense of AI stuff

Like
seriously, that is just absolutely fucking infantilizing to autistic people and extremely anthropomorphizing to the sparkling autocorrects.
It just fucking
restates the "autistic people p zombie" bullshit
"AI is autism personified"
fuck that
Like I can see a weird line going there
"Autistic people feel seen and represented with media depictions of aliens and or robots", which are OFTEN portrayed with more sympathy and empathy than explicitly autistic human characters
but then also fully anthropomorphizing the sparkling autocorrect and plagiarism engines. Statistical models.
Which in this comparison reduces autistic people to
chinese rooms
"It is autism personified"
oh gee, thanks, dehumanizing autistic people, just what the doctor ordered
Lowd isn't just "some writer."
She's the EIC of Zooscape, which is the fandom's ONLY pro-paying market. It's one of the few markets that pays anything more than a token payment, and it gets submissions from some very high-tier writers because of the pay.
Well, it used to. The fact that she pairs every story with an AI-generated piece of "art" and she now "doesn't discriminate" between AI-generated and human-written works means a ton of writers just. Don't want to put up with that shit anymore.
