They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today.
www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Do all of our new AI law school policies now apply to SI, and which law student will be the first to distinguish SI as not being AI? Sigh.

If nothing else AI is making clear that there are people all around us for whom writing, art, and music are not communion with another mind, but just - wallpaper. Just pleasant things to look at. They think AI is conscious because they have no actual grasp of what it is to encounter another mind.

I am not joking when I say this.
Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.
Al music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all Al music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.
Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

I also find this fascinating: "More broadly, our AI respondents didn’t like to admit to uncertainty. Across all the questions on our three surveys where a 'not sure' option was offered, human panelists were around four times as likely as the AI model to choose it."

Interesting results from first student poll on AI, this is a second year "AI and the Law" class. Small class (optional module capped at 25 students). Unsurprisingly, mostly positive or indifferent to AI, self-selection bias.
