The kids these days say “AI” in the same way that people our age say “bullshit” (“you didn’t do that, that’s AI!”) and I think that’s beautiful

I have an idea for a startup: pay ME to add typos and grammatical errors to your emails! I have decades of expertise.

Nearly half of surveyed writers worry that their words are being mistaken for AI. Now, AI companies think they have the solution… with even more AI. 🙄 Don't buy it. Tech companies trying to pass off AI content as human does harm to writers. Some real creatives shared with us their frustrations—

As humans, we experience. We think, and feel, and make mistakes, and learn, and grow. There is no world in which AI could ever capture that. Ever. No matter what humanity has been through, the constant is art, story-telling, creativity. I will take handprints on a cave wall any day.

🫖 Turns out, Reese Witherspoon is grifting for AI, selling $850 AI “storytelling certificates”… 🤦‍♀️ Maybe consult actual writers before shilling for AI—you’d know that writers have no interest letting AI write for them. Here’s what (260!) you had to say about writing "out of spite" for AI 👇

We started Ellipsus with a simple belief: that supporting human creativity is more important than ever in an increasingly AI-saturated world. You thought so too. Here are 4 reasons the human drive to create has never been stronger—in your own words. 👇🧵 Full blog post: ellipsus.com/blog/survey-...

This may be our favorite read this month. “[W]riting that depends on trust and the willingness to be present to a reader […] may find itself valued in ways it has not been for decades.” O’Sullivan absolutely nails it. The future of writing is human!

Writers are increasingly hesitant to share their work online because of AI—per the findings of our recent Creativity & AI survey, the damage AI has wrought on writing communities is psychological as well as material. But that’s not the full story 🧵👇 Full blog post: ellipsus.com/blog/survey-...

Heyyy, I got quoted in the write-up of results from an @ellipsus.com survey about what creative workers think of genAI. Spoiler alert: Everyone hates it and places tremendous value on human creativity and in preserving spaces in which that creativity can flourish and be celebrated.

Love seeing fellow authors so strongly denounce the use of AI in writing! Sometimes I feel like Old Man Yells At Cloud when it comes to my deep hatred of AI, but then I go back to Tumblr and find my kindred spirits. Keep strong, fellow anti-AI folks!!!

It's not a coincidence that pro-AI people often compare creating something VS AI with washing dishes yourself VS using the dishwashers. They don't think of creating something as being meaningful and pleasurable on its own, but as a chore whose only part that matters is the end result.

Right y’all 😮‍💨 We worked our way though over 5,000 survey responses, crunched the numbers, and data’d the data—and now we’re ready to share our findings. Who’s ready for some pie charts?! 🧵🧵 Full blog post: ellipsus.com/blog/survey-...

[H]ere is the crux of the issue. Someone is making money from the use of these ideas—but it’s not the author, it’s the LLM companies.” Yes! AI companies were built on other people’s ideas sans permission or compensation. It’s exploitation, plain and simple. fortune.com/2026/04/08/h...

Those pushing AI written work fundamentally misunderstand the value and point of writing. Writing can’t “optimize” for word patterns or “token frequency”—writing is about experimentation, externalizing inward experience, and making connections, writer-to-reader.

Humbled that our users wrote 500K words in this survey already! We're building a bunch of anti-gen AI/AI safety features and want to hear from you.

We wrote about this coming three years ago… surprise, turns out it wasn’t paranoia. 🫠 theconversation.com/thousands-of...

So far, 4687 🙀 of you have taken our survey on creativity in the age of AI. A huge thank you to everyone who wrote in and shared your views (we’ve kind of been blown away!). We’re so excited to share the full findings soon—but until then, here’s a preview of what you had to say:

“There's no question that the general locking-down of more and more of the public web is impacting society’s ability to understand what's going on in our world."

So you write/want to write fantasy fiction… but you're wondering how to go about it. Good news! Our recent blog post is stock full of tips:

Creative grievances against AI art aren’t just “AI Art Bad”. It’s the social, personal, political, and aesthetic costs of substituting human creativity with algorithms trained on stolen work - while imposing these tools and content on us without consent.

Thanks Julie! Loving these answers. Our ~Creativity in the Age of AI~ survey is still live. What's your take? ellipsus.typeform.com/to/ihnZMI82

MAGA-controlled social media is doing the work of book bans by suppressing support for marginalized authors. If you haven’t seen much from us on TikTok this week, that’s why. Our recent post celebrating and supporting Trans Day of Visibility was shadowbanned. 🧵👇

'The senior executive at Microsoft said, of Altman, “I think there’s a small but real chance he’s eventually remembered as a Bernie Madoff- or Sam Bankman-Fried-level scammer.”'

AI isn’t winning—its marketing is. AI generated “art” is feckless, unoriginal, and… kinda sad. Everyone knows it. Meanwhile, creatives are getting organized. Faced with the slopification of creative work, our purpose is clear: keep on writing. The human resistance has only just begun.

"Grammarly’s Expert Review feature serves as a case in point for how people feel about generative AI at the moment..."

I thought it was going to take hours to get all my documents transferred from Google to @ellipsus.com, but it only took about 30 minutes thanks to a simple upload process. I'm finding replacements for Google's bullshit and it feels great.

Study shows a 90% overlap between AI-generated text and the original works. This is plagiarism on steroids. These companies cannot be trusted. Anti-scraping safeguards are the way forward.

I don't have to worry about spoilers in my TTRPG notes anymore!

I did a thing! Thank you @ellipsus.com for the opportunity!

Slop is flooding every corner of published content, fuelling a culture of systemic misinfo. An estimated 110,000 scholarly publications from 2025 contain fake references. Yikes! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The main thing AI has taught me is a profound new appreciation for human intelligence (and human writing and art!), particularly that which emerges from longstanding experience, expertise and mastery.

The irony: by refusing AI, Ellipsus becomes the actual productivity tool. The others optimize for output speed but erode the thinking. .docx compatibility removes the last excuse not to switch.

The shuttering of Sora—the failed DisneyxOpenAI joint venture—is further proof that the people don’t want slop—and for good reason. Here’s 3 reasons why slop ain’t it.👇

The AI industry wants you to believe slop content is inevitable—but it’s just not true. When we stand together against artistic exploitation and the slopification of culture, we have the power to shape public opinion. 🦀🦀🦀🦀
