The op only said “writers are crazy if they’re not using AI these days”. If that means using AI to write your story then yes it’s bad. If it means using AI to research your story or outline your story or make a schedule/game plan for writing (in a similar way that musicians use computers to compose the music they otherwise play themselves). Well, that can still be bad but if they still write the words themselves it’s definitely different.
I don’t disagree that what’s being falsely labeled as “AI” could be helpful when used in a judicious manner. The issue is that far too many become too comfortable with it, and start becoming less judicious (a.k.a. “lazy”) in its use. In so doing, they start losing the skills needed to think things through for themselves. There have already been multiple reports of doctors and experts in various fields losing their diagnostic and analytic skills due to this effect. Once a majority of the population loses this skill, they become far too easily manipulated into marching to their own doom.
