YOU are a worker. You have had a job for a number of years. Your pay was not high, but you managed to get along. You were a faithful worker. You never shirked. Perhaps you saved up a few dollars against a rainy day. Perhaps you married and raised a family. You were decent, law-abiding
YOU are a worker. You have had a job for a number of years. Your pay was not high, but you managed to get along. You were a faithful worker. You never shirked. Perhaps you saved up a few dollars against a rainy day. Perhaps you married and raised a family. You were decent, law-abiding, and a good member of the community.
But now there is a depression, and your job is gone. You try to get another job, but there are no jobs. You walk the streets looking for work, but there is no work. You go from place to place, but there is no work. You go to the city hall to get relief, but they say there is no relief for you. You go to the Red Cross, but they say they cannot help you.
And then the hunger comes. You cannot buy food. You cannot pay rent. You cannot pay your light bill. You cannot pay your doctor bill. You cannot pay the rent. You cannot pay the doctor. You cannot pay the light bill. You cannot pay anything. And you are not alone. There are thousands of others like you.
You know you cannot live without food. You know you will die if you do not get medical attention. You know you cannot get these things. You know it. You know it. You know it. And you know what you will do for them.
It won't be a sudden thing. The socially necessary labour time for a novel will drop precipitously and mysteriously for a while until it comes out that a whole bunch of stuff is partially written by GPT-3 and partially by a human. Fully handwritten works will become an idiosyncrasy, and will take on a character of their own, a collection of William Morris types still slavering over every syllable.
Is it good or bad? Depends on if the automation frees people or renders them redundant.

:ussr-cry:
That's almost more succinct than the original...
So publishing houses are going to be able to phase out writers altogether, then. What a terrible, beautiful thing to behold.
