Creative Fields Push Back Against AI
A Growing Movement
The science fiction and art worlds are saying no to AI. They're not alone. Other creative communities are also taking a stand.
SFWA's Rule Change
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) made big changes to its rules. At first, they said AI could help write stories. But many writers were upset. So, SFWA changed its mind. Now, no AI at all is allowed in Nebula Award entries. This includes any use of AI during the writing process.
"AI can't be creative. It steals ideas and doesn't understand storytelling." -- Jason Sanford, Writer
Sanford also noted the ubiquity of AI tools, urging caution to avoid punishing writers who use common tools like search engines and word processors.
Comic-Con's Art Show Controversy
San Diego Comic-Con also faced a problem. At first, they allowed AI art in their art show. But artists complained. So, Comic-Con changed its rules. Now, no AI art is allowed at all.
The Bigger Picture
This is a big deal. More groups will likely take a stand against AI. The debate is far from over.
