You're joking, right? Freelance writers and illustrators worldwide are losing their livelihoods due to replacement by AI. AI isn't "neat," or "futuristic." It's murder. For Medium to allow AI generated writing or artwork on the site period is shocking enough, but permitting it to earn money/distribution at the expense of flesh-and-blood creatives, and pushing the latter further into poverty, is disgusting beyond belief. It’s the latest and worst face-slap for Medium’s battered authors and artists, whose hard work made the platform what it is today. For the sake of Medium and everyone on it, I’m calling on CEO Tony Stubblebine to resign immediately. Please clap if you agree. (CC: Ev Williams )
