I have an epic anti-generative AI rant that I wrote in a single flurry of inspired passion in mid-December and then read aloud that same day at an open mic.

It’s passionate, it’s harsh, its even inspiring to some.

I’ve been sitting on it because I felt as though it needed some work or some editing before I published it. But perhaps part of me is hesitant to put myself out there so aggressively and defiantly.

Either way, I need to publish it, and when I do, it’s going be Part One of many, because now I’m using AI myself.

Not generatively for writing or thinking or created it creating images or anything like that, but more as an assistant or like a series of assistants that performs specific functions. Functions related to assembling documents, the development of projects, related to coordinating or managing things that I have to do.

My tasks are multi-step that I have built these little agent plugins for and have the potential to radically offload things that do not come from a place of image-bearing creativity, but are simply necessary things to do.

My thinking is that by doing this It gives me space to focus on those necessary things. I’m sorry, it gives me space to focus on those things that only I can do. Writing, thinking, being present, creating art.
