it is still so amazing to see the difference in support for the matildas since becoming a stan like 15 years ago and beating the drum for them. it is wild

People defending AI-written slop have obviously never written a book in their lives. If only you knew the blood, sweat and tears that go into writing a book... And no, AI can NEVER replace that. There are some things you just cannot replicate and good writing is one of them.

@oneplanetmikey @TinyWriterLaura That’s sad. Your poor friend x

@TinyWriterLaura @emilybwebb A friend of mine, now sadly deceased, had v poor mental health. She had diagnosed delusions. They were pretty out there, but there was also enough reason to consider that maybe they were real. Or some of it was. She had absolute belief they were real. I still have fear some were

this poor woman was put on anti-psychotics because she kept saying there was a man in her loft. one problem: there actually was a man secretly living in her loft this is a plot to a horror novel i’m horrified lbc.co.uk/article/man-hi…

It never fails: you publish a book and within weeks the emails come in: "Hey, I liked your book and all, but on page 257, there's a typo that I want to call your attention to...." I don't understand this impulse to contact authors in this way.

@stepha_henson AI has totally wrecked the use of em dashes - I’ve used em dashes for so many years!!

Serious question - how do you know when something is written with AI? And don't tell me em dashes because I use those! I have a hard time telling even with some art, although most is obvious.

@KT_Carlisle The problem too is AI is learning from so much content that pre-dates AI. My concern is that it will be impossible to distinguish genuine human-written work with something concocted with AI.

Things I still want to know re: The "Shy Girl" Scandal 👇🏻 1. How did an AI-written manuscript escape the scrutiny of an agent, editor, and Big 5 publisher? 2. What methods were used to definitively determine the book was written using AI? (And I don't want to hear, "It's obvious!" I've worked with plenty of authors whose work I was suspicious of having been written using AI, but I'd still never go so far as to flat-out accuse them of having done so without actual proof, usually in the form of a baked-in prompt—which, yes, has happened before. So, I'd really like to know how Hachette actually determined this to be AI-generated beyond public outcry. Because if all it takes is a few witch hunters to yell, "AI SLOP!" then I'm sorry, but that's equally problematic.) 3. Did the publisher think the public was too stupid to notice, or is trad pub really *that* overworked/understaffed that they were unable to catch something so obvious, even after multiple rounds of edits?
