Every time I have to the the jobs that sustain my lifestyle I act like I am about to be waterboarded which is hilarious cause 1) I created all my jobs specifically for myself 2) I actually like my jobs BUT STILL!!!!!!

And let’s be very honest here: book influencers have done far more for reading culture in recent years than a lot of these “serious critics.” They’re the ones getting people excited about books again, driving sales, creating communities,

There is no upside to these AI witch hunts. Bad writing is bad writing. Good writing is good writing. These tell tale signs everyone points to are well used, time tested tools of writing and story telling. Not X but Y? As I wrote in a piece I published here(link in next tweet), you can find dozens of examples in books by James Baldwin, Margaret Atwood, The Bible, The Hadith. Mentioning things in groups of three? A standard tool in lots of very good writing. Em dashes? Just part of the language. And where does it all come from? From writing that we have put out in the world. From our novels and stories and essays. AI did not invent any of this. I have used all of these quite often over the last 15 years. Unless you want people to actively avoid everything that could be construed to be AI, I don't see the point of this. Especially writing in groups of threes which is a fundamental rhetorical and psychological principle used by human writers for centuries. Why? Rhythm, emphasis, persuasion. That is why the tricolon (listing words or phrases in threes) works. That is also why the three act structure (setup, confrontation, resolution) works. The problem is not in the use, but in moderation and this can happen in any piece of writing, not just AI. I read a lot of weird MFA writing where you can hardly distinguish one writer from another because they all write in that self-important navel gazing way that shows that they are more interested in impressing people (read: their professors and colleagues) with sentences than in telling stories. All of the fancy MFA stories that are about nothing, say nothing, except show that the writer attended a creative writing program, is that the great writing we are protecting? Stories that live and die in literary magazines and speak to no one? There are bigger, more important questions to answer in and with literature. There are stories to be told. Emotions and phenomena to explore. Depths to be reached. None of these will be done by AI. Will (or can) AI help actual professionals and serious thinkers do their job more efficiently? Only time will tell. And trust me by the time this madness is over, you will discover that many more people than you think (or at least many more than admit) are using AI for a wide range of tasks related to story telling, and exploring ideas. I also do not think that the writers who have writing teams and assistants and interns helping to produce their books are any better just because they use humans to produce the work we praise them for. Ideas and stories will live or die based on how well they speak to those who read them, not how they are made.

“romcom is cringe” as opposed to what? love itself is inherently absurd. yearning is embarrassing, devotion is theatrical, and vulnerability has always carried a certain humiliation to it. that’s precisely what makes it beautiful.
