The Scottish Tories dedicated themselves more to transphobia than anyone. They've been wrecked in Scotland, losing nearly two thirds of their seats. The Scottish Greens and LibDems stood in solidarity with trans people and doubled their seats. No major news outlet will comment on this dynamic.

A reasonable question here is: how do you *identify* slop consistently? At some level, you really can't—certainly not if someone has already fixed it. I don't propose a whole new infrastructure of policing here. It would be pointless. The answer is to back up the question a level.

The only reasonable position is zero tolerance: the AI industry must end sooner rather than later. It is culturally, socially, environmentally, and economically destructive, and all the Silicon Valley marketing in the world isn't going to make it otherwise.

E.g. If writers are being forced by employers or publishers to use AI, then entities representing the interests of writers should expose and protest that coercion.

The AI bubble will pop at some point, sure, but this is about limiting the damage it does to working writers. This is about protecting the field from the industry in the meantime.

We will get paid less, many of us will be forced out of the field and/or the industry, generations of new writers will find their development stunted and their early-career opportunities limited, and ultimately, the quality of the work available to readers will suffer.

AI is a direct threat to our livelihoods as well as the future of our professions, not because AI is capable of doing any of the work, but because our industries will use the threat of AI to make us all increasingly precarious. Uncertain futures and worse working conditions.

Translators, illustrators, researchers and editors all do creative, human work that is important and cannot be reproduced in part or in whole by AI any more than writers. Their interests are our interests. To legitimize the use of AI to replace them is a failure of principle as much as strategy.

There is no ethical use of AI because the continued existence of the AI industry is directly harmful to (alongside everyone else) the interests of everyone whose labour makes books exist—writers of fiction & nonfiction, illustrators, translators, researchers, editors, everyone.
