<![CDATA[This shit writes itself.]]>This shit writes itself. This is so beyond parody at this point I can't write about it.

I had an author friend gush, for paragraphs, about how amazing my editing was. It was funny. It was honest. It was developmental juice that didn't have any trouble asserting its flavor. He begged me to know what LLM I was using because he had other editors use LLMs and they weren't nearly as good or funny or sincere and they didn't seem to understand the work the way I did.

this has got to be the shortest email I've ever written. I replied,

“I used my fucking brain.”

I wish I could be so optimisitc as to say people are coming to appreciate the work they took for granted, but I suspect they're just coming to hate AI trash. Not my idel, but I'll take it.

I'm thrilled to watch the collapse of the AI industry, but I do wish we weren't all bound to suffer from its death flails.

Each line fits two or three words and they’re frequently hyphenated, making it hard to read.

I’ve corrected spelling and grammar issues in that narrative also by the way, but this is why I’m seeing a massive increase in events like audiobook listening groups at the library and things like that. I’ve actually found that my local library has a lot of events that I can tell people about my drafty writers group and everybody seems really interested

turns out human written prose has a real impact on people. who would have guessed.

If you ever return to buying real art, there are artists (like me) who tag our anti AI sentiment in our posts, art, and are fervently against AI on every step. And we usually can recommend other artists who are also anti AI and would not be caught dead using one. 🙂 Especially here it is easier to find real artists.

But I do understand the issue...the scammer amounts have risen so much and trust is the first thing the 1% sought to destroy.

I've gotten AI reviews in my sci-fi critique group (it seems the mods have cracked down thankfully) and they all seem to be designed to move the convo to email and then offer "pro" editing. I also submitted stories to a magazine offering pro rates; they rejected each story within two hours with an elaborate critique and an offer to edit more for $20.
