  1. "The recent announcement that South Island-based organisations received less than 10% of the funds granted in the recent tier 3 and 4 rounds of the Arts Organisations and Group Fund was confronting and upsetting. ... I’ve talked about this on the radio and in print, as have others, but there’s more to say outside quotes and soundbites."

    Yep, there’s a lot of hype out there,
    As I tooted, use AI if you find it helpful and are happy to do so.

    For me, using any computerised algorithm to ‘help’ me write or as a ‘muse’ would be a total denial of my human capacity to create something old that feels like its new. I lust after the emotional highs of writing well in the knowledge that I liberated some part of myself, pulled it out of my subconscious and set it free. The joy of liberating a story that no one else sees (I’m preponderantly visually stimulated) until it is read, is not something I would ever wish to outsource to an #LLM -based #GenAI #Agent. That would be, for me, an absolute negation of my skills and creativity as a writer — however mediocre those skills are, they are mine.

    Let’s be clear, I use tools such as dictionairies and other writer’s works to help me become a better writer, but these are not #GenerativeAI outputs and they do not write from me for me.

    Disclosure: I don’t need to derive an income from my writing. This allows me to write what I want, when I want, for my own pleasure. I write rarely enough and have no readership. I call the shot.
