AI Can't Do What We Do
It can only do what we did.

Good morning, Twfw. O/
Sunrise. Birds and squirrels and highway mufflers negotiate the morning.
Peace arrives with the dawn. Voices around the city get ready to recite: "Nice day, today," for a weather forecast hello.
Hope your weather suits your mood.
On with our show...
...
Writers how are your words? Artists how are your pictures? AI is often a theme of these morning thoughts.
Writers, musicians, and artists, we need new language to be at peace with the video games called Large Language Models.
New language is the business of The Poet, so every morning I go to work for us by adding to this personal LLM of Wordly Art called Wonder Fell.
You see my creative friends, AI can't do what we do; it can only do what we did.
Would you buy a stolen computer?
Would you publish a story wrote only with AI?
They're the same question.
I've been writing for decades, working at it because it's work I love. No one sounds like me because no one sounds like you. We're all unique. Ask Genetics.
I've worked a long time to get my writing voice as clearly 'me' as possible. These words express me. The arrangement of each syllable is a song I shape into sentences.
It's work. Good old fashioned labor makes these lines easily understood.
If Grok writes a journal entry in my style or echoes a poem of mine, it steals my hard work.
Living artists must get recognition for the assist. Give us documented credit. If money is made using a writer, artist, or musician's ways; pay the source.
Da Vinci, Shakespeare, and Mozart are happy with written recognition. But: A living artist deserves a living wage.
So Coders and Ethical Humanity, it's on you to see to it we don't become a race of thieves.
Programmers are intelligent enough to design Artificial Intelligence; they're smart enough to see to it Artists get credit and get paid.
Artists! Keep making Life new places to live and grow through your unique witness of The World.
Someone's got to feed AI.
Enjoy your day.
And, as always, thanks for reading.
