It's completely over for writers in 2026, right?
I think LLMs (as bad they can be now) are the final nail in the coffin.

You don't understand what writing is
If predicting the next few words based on statistics was enough, every avid reader would double as at least a decent writer

I do understand what money is, and im gonna starve to death

On the contrary, it's only just beginning.
We have reached a transitionary state;
The authors have laid the foundation,
but the AI will launch us into the airy.

You're not a writer. You THINK you're one, yet you haven't done any work. That's why you're paralyzed with fear. You stopped before you even began. A failure not because you tried and didn't succeed but because you didn't even bother.

>>25161300
what's the point of trying now, its like deciding to be poor and humiliated, just overall dumb decision, fear is a survival mechanism

>>25161262
It's over for a lot more than just writing. The true counterculture will accept its own irrelevance in the mainstream and form tiny independent art circles. The smaller the profit, the more is gleaned.

I wish AI were good enough to purge once and for all those writers and readers who come to literature for status or, more laughably, money, but alas we are far from AGI, father than certain sister-raping goblins might wish.
>>
>>25161581
There's no such thing as a writer who doesn't want readers. Money and status are unavoidable if you want to build a significant readership, and vice versa. Do you want to dedicate yourself to this for years or decades and see your work half-read by two people? There must be hundreds of forgotten masterpieces in all those attics.

...You're telling me there's a writer who absolutely does not want their work to be read by anymore? Show me.

>>25161595
I can't believe you're even considering there's not

Not OP, but the point is that the cocnept of a "writer" is going to undergo change within the industry because of AI.
The writer and literature as an artform will still persevere in academia and in tbe minds of the discerning reader, of course, but even pre-AI, that has been a dwindling market.
The industry has always relied on genreslop freaks of nature who can output plots like there's no tomorrow.with little regard for integrity or artistic merit.
Soon that very industry could employ one "writer" to prompt and guide LLMs to put out work at an unheard of rate.
It's cheaper, it's quicker, it matches the instant gratification of the binge-minded consumers.
I don't say this as a supporter of AI or a believer in its ability to create anything of worth, but it will sell regardless.

>>25161471
whiny victimhood, god you're such a bitch. you're so obviously part of the problem but you're too far up your faggy ass to see it.
>>
>>25161658
I still think OP should get on with writing (we all should), but saying he is part of the problem is nonsensical. There is an objective issue, regardless of what OP does, that AI is being utilised as much as possible to undercut workers at every opportunity. To claim that it will not affect writers is naive. I don't think AI will write well, or really truly ever convey what great literature encapsulates, but is that what drives the market anyway? No, and it never really has been.
For every masterpiece there's been a hundred forgotten books, and that's being extemely generous. AI is only going to make it worse.
OP could work hard as fuck and become a great writer (he should still try) and still have absolutely no impact on the wider discourse and implementation of AI and its subsequent "innovations" in the industry.
So no, he's not part of the problem. Get your own head out of thet blinkered boomer platitudes and look at what's actually going on at a societal level, at an industry level. OP's bootstraps ain't big enough, bro.

the real problem isn't LLM's, it's the fact that mass access to internet videos has made reading obsolete
