I havenβt written creatively in several years. Blocked up/no surplus energy/no good ideas/bad headspace/whatever. No excuse.
If it came down to either continuing the slump, or making good money, gaining notoriety, and having fans by using AI?
Fuck that. Even if nobody were ever the wiser, I would know, it would wind up killing me, and Iβd be better off. Iβd rather never write again than be a dirty plagiarist that needs a tool to do the plagiarism.
I will be accepting no counter-arguments or comments at this time*, donβt @ me, you can go to your grave angry about it.
*yes, βjust start writing againβ is a valid exception, Iβm almost ready, I think.
