#writingcommunity What are your thoughts on this? I signed with an indie publisher that put my first few chapters into AI and sent me the prompts as a “first round” edit. Is AI editing acceptable? AI is bastardization of art. #AmWriting #WriterBeware #Publishing #ScamAlert #NoAI

"The Message." That’s the grift. That’s the Critical Drinker's entire business model summed up in a two-word calling card. But it's not just him. It's Nerdrotic. It's Geeks and Gamers. It's the Side Scrollers podcast, Sargon of Akkad, and that entire right-wing pop-culture outrage ecosystem. They don't even have to define what it is, or, like most anti-woke reviewers, actually care enough to engage with the narrative mechanics of a movie or game. It’s just a convenient straw man. The grift runs on this manufactured outrage. Instead of offering a real community to guys who miss the simplicity of the 80s and 90s, they offer a catchphrase. They blame a changing, diverse pop culture landscape to keep you isolated in the dark, hunting for a reason to be angry at a screen for two hours rather than just participating in society. This is a necessary cycle to break if you ever want to actually enjoy escapism again. Is "The Message" a real, foundational critique of modern storytelling? God no. But does it work to keep people angry and clicking? Hell yes it does. The problem isn't with modern filmmakers, it's with these outrage peddlers who DO NOT HAVE their fingers on the pulse of society at all. Give it a few years, and they’ll all be relegated to Third Rate, small-time comic conventions, sitting at fold-out tables where isolated guys pay them five dollars just to "say the line."

@andyweirauthor thanks for Project Hail Mary. It inspired me to get my own Rocky 👎

@AuthorGFAllen That’s essentially my entire author experience 😂

If no one ever read your book, would you still write it?

LOVE THIS COVER. Just got my free copy! :)

Well my drawing skills aren’t great yet, but at least this is starting to resemble a cat😂

@GraceRandolph Never punch down… unless they have Tourette’s

Never punch down. Weir should have just said he had some cool ideas for a #StarTrek show Weir is not a pundit, he’s in the industry himself. It’s totally unprofessional and inappropriate for him to say something like this. If someone doesn’t understand that, they’re just making it clear they have no professional experience.

@verbalriotshow Redemption Arc. She’s was an actor trying to stay on Hollywoods good side by saying the right things. People change and we should let them. I’m happy for her!

Brie Larson had a come to Jesus moment with her career and I'm here for it.

@SCHostetler Yep. Yep.

I firmly believe that no matter how much practice you've had writing, no matter how many books you've read, and no matter how much craft education you've had, it is completely normal to look at your own work and have no idea if it's any good.🤣 #SelfAwareness #Writing

To celebrate the release of Daughter of Crows, I'll send a free signed copy to a person chosen randomly from those who retweet this post! 😮

My toxic trait is thinking of new book ideas when I already have ten in the works… #writingcommunity

@SteffenJack84 I worry for future generations

@RealTylerBaker Those sorts of examples are so common. It's like they're trying to hide an addiction while stumbling down the street.

I’ve seen tons of users get very defensive. If there’s nothing wrong with it, own it. #NoAI

@SteffenJack84 I’ve had an indie publisher deny using ai to my face while sending me emails and writing articles with the prompts INCLUDED. AI is offensive already but it’s grotesque when it’s fueled by incompetence

@RealTylerBaker That's my opinion too. It's a sort of cognitive dissonance. They're telling on themselves.

@douglass_meghan That doesn’t sound fun to me…

Fun fact: Over 80% of the ocean is still unexplored

@JeremyFoot1977 I don’t want you to read my screen play (reverse psychology)

Convince me to read your screenplay with one logline.

@kiragriffoo Dark Matter - Blake crouch

What’s a book you’ll never stop recommending.

@Goldyene_RebsA Well it was YEARS ago and I’m sure my publisher didn’t use AI.

@RealTylerBaker That cover looks annoyingly AI. I recommend using GetCovers, as they are cost effective. MilbArt is a little bit expensive, but if you accurately describe what you want, GetCovers will do it perfectly at a low cost.

Anybody have any recommendations for cover artists? Here’s the original cover #writingcommunity #noaiart
