my personal view is that you should treat AI as if you were a magician attempting to command a spirit that is inhuman, potentially useful, and invested in attempting to convince you it is something other than it is. you know, rationally.
I am now offering access to my vibe coded AI assistant that sends you a popup notification ever hour reading only "Remember thou art mortal"
Come on, you madcap, I’ll to the alehouse with you presently; where, for one shot of five pence, thou shalt have five thousand welcomes.
This is just to say... I have stolen the work that you spent years creating and which you were probably hoping would pay your bills But online sharing doesn't count It's actually a compliment So fuck you BTW, I'm a fan

"Why dost thou converse w/ that trunk of humours, that bolting-hutch of beastliness, that swollen parcel of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that roasted Manningtree ox w/ the pudding in his belly, that reverend Vice, that grey iniquity, that father ruffian, that vanity in years?" Shakespeare

My standard reply to all ai book scammers that I am a practicing witch and placing a curse on them unless they cease their wicked ways. Highly recommend this strategy to other writers & publishing folk. Twice now I've had scammers email back to ask me to lift the curse.
Authors, please beware of emails impersonating The Giller Foundation

Shall we be thus afflicted in his wreaks, His fits, his frenzy, and his bitterness?
FIRST LORD In the meantime, what hear you of these wars? SECOND LORD I hear there is an overture of peace. FIRST LORD Nay, I assure you a peace concluded.
