AI has moved from mildly irritating to intrusively pushy in a matter of months. In writing platforms they are especially obnoxious. AI has its place, don't get me wrong, but not in creative writing, and it should be something one opts into not something that is foisted upon us without our consent or knowledge.
And.....it's not as smart as it thinks it is. For instance the Gmail Gemini bot doesn’t know the difference between periodically and sporadically. He refused to believe the latter is a word. Some of the creep's edits (so called "corrections") are just plain funny. So we might as well laugh. For instance, when proofreading copy, I recently came across this AI invention: He was fuzzy on details became he was a fuzzy tail.
I’m managed to turn off some of the AI
“enhancements” but not all of them. And with every update, Google throws a new
wrench into the mix. Like the one a miscreant threw into my great grandfather’s
oilwell to disable it. (A true story) They don’t make it easy to disable their entrenched AI bots and while
their wrenches are mostly just annoying, some make it impossible to produce,
clean, innovative and imaginative human writing free of artificial intelligence.
Their main problem? They aren’t human.
