A novelist was accused of using AI. Why the literary world is still grappling with guardrails
The recent cancelling of a horror novelist's book demonstrates the conundrum that literary professionals face as they comb through every pitch, query letter and manuscript lobbed their way: how do you separate the proverbial wheat from the AI-generated chaff, and what happens if you get it wrong?

#Chaff

Sunday’s gospel for #Advent2 has John the Baptist saying the wheat will be gathered up but the chaff will be burned with unquenchable fire. This isn’t a case of good people vs. bad people, but a case of God burning away our outer shells which have no value for the kingdom.
Looking at it this way, we all have some good seed that God can use.

The #produceStore was out of #lucerne!
Something’s up if they can’t source lucerne!

Instead they delivered us huge bags of lucerne #chaff.

I’m wondering how to keep the stuff once opened. My feed storage tubs are full of cracked & crushed #lupins.

I fed the #alpacas & #sheep a mix of the chaff & lupins this morning.

Still not hot enough for Chaser the alpaca to start using the pool.

“the human condition is dignified by privacy”

“taking a picture was either piracy . . . or terrorism (in a public place)”
