Over 70 prominent authors, including Dennis Lehane and Lauren Groff, signed an open letter demanding that publishers refrain from using AI in book creation. They request a commitment not to publish AI-generated books, respect copyright concerns, and to hire human narrators. The letter, which garnered over 1,100 signatures swiftly, emphasizes the perceived inferiority of AI writing and champions the value of human authorship. This collective stance marks a shift from previous legal actions against AI companies, focusing now on the responsibilities of publishing houses in utilizing emerging technologies.
"The writing that AI produces feels cheap because it is cheap. It feels simple because it is simple to produce. That is the whole point."
"AI is an enormously powerful tool, here to stay, with the capacity for real societal benefits—but the replacement of art and artists isn't one of them."
