On Substack

By Substack Team

Resources, stories, and news for the writers, podcasters, musicians, video creators, and culture makers publishing on Substack.

Read and think for yourself! I am not as optimistic as the writer of this blogpost. Give it a few years and the only people who can spot the difference (and care) between a human being who writes, polishes its craft and spends hours over a sentence and an AI "writer" (if you can which I doubt) will be a minority. It is similar to the so called AI generated "art" - people will end up not knowing what is real and what is not and the worst thing is that ... very few will even care.
