As a fellow creative writer I don’t like the idea of sharing or having something else contribute to work that are passions from my mind. I understand the possible use of it, like brainstorming or checking for spelling mistakes possibly, but the idea of being a co-author just sounds horrid. It undermines your hard work just because you prompted an artificial intelligence in assisting in some aspects. It feels discrediting as well, like cheating, when you see your name next to AI on a project. I also do agree with “Remixing is at the foundation of our culture.” So many articles are remixed, but not only that, social media is full of remixes of media, entertainment, and more. For some projects online, people find passion in remixing.

Your title was great–very eye-catching! I wholeheartedly agree with your dislike or distrust of AI generation, especially for creative endeavors. To me, at least, AI isn’t capable of artistic creation–all it does is algorithmically piece others’ works together. When a person remixes, they tend to add their own flare to it, or at least remix thoughtfully or organically. So, I agree when you say that AI contributes nothing. It adds nothing new or original. That also makes me wonder why Cummings used the term “co-author.” I understand what he was going for, but that terminology rubs me the wrong way, too. Great article!
