I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

'And the act of my wife kissing me on my head or the fact that two women had got married was enough for some people to go, "Yeah, that's it. I'm out." The most genuinely uncomfortable thing is the same community that dropped me for kissing my wife are probably the same that are reading M/M romance.'

Irene Clyde, a #trans author, wrote a sci-fi book in 1909 called "Beatrice the Sixteenth". In it, she shows a post-gender culture that has a gender neutral language. Because trans voices have historically been silenced, work like hers goes unacknowledged. The ideas we're fighting for now aren't new.
