Fears of ‘irreversible damage’ to literature as AI wins award for sci-fi novel

Can we fucking not, please?

The best use of AI I can think of is a virtual teacher, that teaches critical thinking and empathy.

This sucks

I support people to use any possible tool in their creation process.

This is not very different than using newer electric tools in cooking vs using the older/habitual techniques. Some may prefer the former, some later. The taste could be different pallet to pallet, or the subtle chemical reactions could cause different outcomes for different foods.

If the food is tasty, fulfilling and suitable for my pallet what would differ if chopped with a knife or with a blender?

You can prefer one to the other and who have any right to say no? Just don't forget same applies both ways.
