@SouthwestAir sucks SO HARD now. But they know that and they’re doing it on purpose. Everything about my flight experience today has been 🤨.
Never seen a company destroy its own reputation this much this fast.
Cool. Cool. 🗑️

@Syla_Fox Sing it for the people in the back.
My work is better than AI. 🤷🏽♂️

@vickyweberbooks The amount of seven chapter book starts living in a graveyard on my computer because “who needs an outline?” 😑⚰️☠️
So glad I stopped doing that. 😅

How did I used to pants my way through a manuscript? Literally, HOW?

@TM_Brown The AI writing debate is currently a disagreement between those who like to performatively bootlick tech bros in public and those who like to performatively clutch their pearls in public.
Nuance is dead. Long live the Twitterverse.
English
I think the AI writing debate is actually a disagreement between those impressed by power and those highly skeptical of it.
English
@BeckyLTuch Turns out, the posted image isn’t entirely accurate.
The debate continues to be, what constitutes “written.”
You are right, though. We aren’t talking about this nearly enough, and nobody is digging into the nuances.
English
@BeckyLTuch That next sentence seems REALLY important…
English
Wow, one aspect of the AI debate not nearly discussed enough is the question of copyright. Can an author actually copyright a book partly written by AI?...Turns out NO, they cannot.

@justcastellon This.
It’s all so performative right now, just to get amens from people who will matter exactly zero to your actual work.
JUST. WRITE.
Stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and just put words on paper.
English
It’s sad to see authors assume that their peers are using AI in their writing simply because they choose to be open-minded with the new tools. Unless you’re writing with pen and paper or a typewriter, or manually designing your book cover without digital tools, can you truly claim your work is 100% human-made?
Think about it: Microsoft Word or Google Docs come with grammar and spell checkers. Canva incorporates AI in some of its design features to make the process faster and more user-friendly. Photoshop? Same story. At the end of the day, it’s the readers who decide what to consume, and honestly, I don’t think they care how a story was created as long as it entertains them and resonates on a deeper level.
So, write the way you always have. Open your laptop, grab your notes, and turn your ideas into words. When you’re done, if you can afford an editor and artist to refine your work, that’s fantastic. But if you can’t, and you rely on Word’s grammar checker or Grammarly to polish your writing, that’s perfectly fine. You wrote those words; they’re yours. You didn’t steal them.
What’s not okay is making assumptions about your fellow writers, suggesting that most, or even some, are using AI. Let’s focus on creating and supporting one another, rather than casting doubt or actively participating in witch-hunting.
English
I’m just gonna say it:
The #WritingCommmunity witch hunt against A.I. is 👏🏽also 👏🏽part 👏🏽of 👏🏽the 👏🏽problem.👏🏽
There is no reliable way to determine A.I. Everything that’s a so-called “tell” is also a thing human people do.
Stop accusing everyone and everything of A.I.

@zemthings @banannerbread Just posted about this.
The worst film to win for Best Picture in a VERY long time. Just plain trash.
English
@banannerbread Idk what this is about but I’m choosing that it’s referencing the film I don’t like for personal reasons.
English
One Battle After Another is the Crash of 2026.
Worst movie to win in a LONG time.
I said what I said.

@demimschwartz You are definitely in my three! Submitting this weekend!
English
Over in the blue place, we shared pie charts for #RevPit submissions so far, and there is wayyyy more adult than YA and MG. If you’re #amquerying YA or MG, please consider submitting, and if your manuscript matches my MSWL, I would love to see it. #writingcommunity 💜💎

@BeckyLTuch I have given up the em dash. I have stopped phrasing things in threes. I have even tamed my penchant for hyperbole.
But you can’t have my three words sentence fragments. Not today, Satan. Not tomorrow either. Not ever, sister. They are mine.
Dammit I phrased that as a three.
English
AI writing has so many tells. Once you see it, it's fairly easy to identify (and exhausting to see everywhere).
If you don't know how to spot it, please read: litmagnews.substack.com/p/q-what-is-ai…

I had an agent request my partial, then politely pass with a letter that pointed out a thing that I ALSO HATE about my first 50 pages and immediately sent me back into rewrites because I WAS RIGHT. Take that, brain!

spreading some love today with a free query critique 🥰💘 to enter, just follow me, rt this post, and comment. I’ll draw a name tomorrow 💌🫶🏻 #WritingCommunity #amquerying

I’m as “boo AI” as the next guy, but the #WriterCommunity convo around it is TIRESOME.
If you use it, it is what it is. There’s very little market for the output, so the problem solves itself.
Wading through a sea of torches and pitchforks every day on here is ridiculous.
