Those are good points for sure and I wholeheartedly agree with your point on how the AIs are trained.
But what is the goal of not putting my work through AI? Did you mean it in the sense of it being stolen and trained on? That will happen the moment I press publish on the game anyway. There are people who have unpacked Light My Way to look at the code inside and the text in it as well. What's to stop them from putting it all through AI anyway? I have come to accept that since AI has been unleashed on all of us, everything that is shared online in any form is no longer safe from it privacy-wise.
Or did you mean it more like the AI will somehow pollute my perspective of my own writing? Because I don't take what the AI says seriously. For me it's just another filter to pass through to get an outside perspective of my work. I still keep in contact with friends who are writers and share my work with them anyway. Human input is the most important factor for me, especially considering the heavy topics I talk about in Graven.
Regarding AIs being trained on other artists's works: I am absolutely against it. It's theft and I hope that something will be done against it, but I doubt anything will happen because money talks...
I am being public about my feelings on AI and my stance on it precisely because I don't want to hide anything from my supporters and my team. I could have just as easily not said anything and went on my way if I didn't care about anyone. But I do. It's important to me that my supporters and followers get to know my thought process even if it might not be ideal from some perspectives.
