As both a #medic and a #writer, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the ethical bar for #fiction #writing is *far* lower than the bar for #medicine. Reading a bad story may make you feel like you've wasted an irretrievable chunk of your life, but it's very unlikely to land you in the morgue. So the idea that there might be ethical uses for #AI in medicine but not in writing seems rather strange to me.

Another addendum: like many #SF writers, I'm a bit of a #Luddite when it comes to the writing process. After decades of messing around with various word processors, these days I do my writing in #Markdown using a text editor, then convert it to Word for sharing it with the rest of the world. I'm genuinely happier that way. #Grammar checkers and the like can fuck right off.

But I'm uneasy with people who create #sciencefiction rejecting the *idea* that #AI might be useful for #creative endeavors. I don't yet know what a good use case would be, and I doubt I'll ever want #ChatGPT or one of its descendants to write a draft for me. Making it my work would feel like editing someone else's manuscript, even if it's good—which of course current AI writing isn't, but that could change. I just don't want people who think about the future professionally to assume that we'll never advance past the present.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
