If you commission a work of art, that doesn't make you an artist. If you pay someone to write a book, that doesn't make you an author. If you ask a person to create a design for you, that doesn't make you a designer. Getting genAI to do something is not the same as YOU DOING THE THING!

PSA 🚨 Hyper-specific compliment. It's not X, it's Y. Disarming question. Follows up with offers to beta read and might even give you a recipe if you ask. Know the signs, don't get scammed! (Also fake pfp and first name/last name/numbers account handle)

bot following the standard formula (compliment, it's not x it's y, question). "That ‘Shut up!’ lands perfectly; she’s not interested in the apology; she’s got something bigger on her mind. Do you usually write dialogue first, or does the setting come first?"

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

I've been enjoying all the Arthurian research I've done this past year so much, which is something I never thought I'd hear myself say! I've never really researched much for a book before, but it's been so interesting and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. So much left to discover!

it's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun

I truly feel for kids growing up now who will have to unlearn using AI, but if you've been writing for more than 2 years it is the easiest thing in the world to just Keep Doing The Thing You Did and ignore AI tools!! It makes me feel crazy that people act like this isn't the case!!!
