Reminder from someone who has written 20 novels so far without "AI," many of them NYT bestsellers and/or award-winners: You don't need to use "AI" for any part of your writing process and you'll almost certainly be better off if you don't;

ALSO

Reminder from someone who has it in his contracts that all editing, cover art, translation and other production processes are to be done by humans: You don't have to settle for "AI" for any part of your book production, either. Demand quality over slop.

People are sharing their "Spotify unwrapped" analyses of what they listened to on the streamer this year.

So here's mine.

Nothing. Zilch. Nada.

Give your money to the artists, not the megalomaniac billionaire techbros.

I do not want that stupid app.
It’s spyware-bloated, full of crap.

I want appliances that work,
without tattling to some techbro jerk.

I’m sick of “AI” garbage-spew,
Sick of silo’d platforms too.

To analog I shall return,
and wait for all this mess to burn.
