    Eh, I’m not so sure. Unless he signed some kind of NDA, he’s not any any real danger of legal repercussion, and the fact that he’s freelance with only 200 articles after 3 years tells me that this is a side gig and not his full time job. This comes off as band-wagoning at best, and fear-mongering bullshit at worst. Maybe there is a grain of truth in it, but I’m not going to take this at face value. There is way too much anti-AI rhetoric going around right now for me to just openly accept it as anything more than clickbait.

      When I was doing freelance work there would be no way in hell I would consent to a non-anonymous interview about getting fired where they say my name and my client’s name, doesn’t matter if it’s a side gig that’s just dumb. Honestly I wouldn’t do it even if they said it was anonymous.

        Sure, but this doesn’t sound like he was reached out to by the author of the article. It sounds like he came to the author and told him his story. However you want to view it, it’s your prerogative, but it sets off my bullshit-ometer.

        Freelance

        1 article a week

        Fired without warning

        Blames the current anti-artist zeitgeist

        Comes to blogger of a portfolio website to tell his story

        Refuses to elaborate

        It just feels like clickbait to me. Authory wanted to drive traffic and appeal to the current trend of the unemployed artist who blames AI for their woes, when really, they just aren’t as good as they think they are. Even the title is atrocious. “AI DETECTORS ARE DESTROYING INNOCENT WRITERS’ LIVELIHOODS, RAVAGING YOUR WIVES, AND BURNING THE COUNTRYSIDE.” Dey terk uhr jerbs!
