Really disappointed to see that @bookfunnel.bsky.social , which claims to support authors, is partnering with an AI audio book narration company and is now promoting their services. 🤬 This is your daily reminder that all generative AI is built on stolen works by authors and artists. #noaiart

It's how this remote corporate button pusher stays inspired! I am a long time participant, first time reader with #SWSWQR on Oct 3rd #writingcommunity #writersky
These readings are always a wild ride - a humorous story will be followed by one that rips your guts out and then followed by one that will give you nightmares and finishes on a charming middle grade fantasy chaser. You just never know! #SWSWQR
