Apparently a publisher (Hachette) has cancelled the release of a body-horror book (Shy Girl by Mia Ballard) because AI may have been used in its creation. This should be a wake-up call to any/all authors using AI to generate or assist in writing fiction. There is a very real stigma attached to AI fiction. It doesn't matter if the content is worthy of publication, as Shy Girl apparently was. What matters is that the industry--writers, readers, and publishers--are reacting negatively to it. Amazon KDP has been asking for years if AI was used in the creation of uploaded manuscripts. Publishing on Amazon requires checking the box YES or NO. If you used AI to create a story and lied about it, do you really think you won't be discovered? And what do you think will happen when you are ultimately discovered? I use AI for research. For proofreading typos. For generating X post images (like the one on this post). I don't use it to write. Not my fiction. Not my posts. Not my blog. We are all going to be tested for AI. By companies. By readers. By the world. It is inevitable. How is your writing going to fare?

🇯🇵🇺🇸 Huge protests in Japan. After Takaichi's disgraceful visit. After Trump humiliated her. In the Oval Office. The people are angry. The streets are full. The government is exposed. Takaichi flew 6,000 miles to be mocked about Pearl Harbor. She stayed for dinner. She signed the deals. Now Japan is rising. Not behind her. Against her. The protests are huge. The silence is broken. The shame is public. Trump insulted Japan. Takaichi smiled. The people will not forget.

On this day in history. The Royal Research Ship Discovery was launched in Dundee 125 years ago today on 21 March 1901, before taking Robert Falcon Scott on his first Antarctic expedition in August that year. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dundee/discove…

The Man Who Went Shopping For Dining Chairs and Accidentally Bought Stonehenge. On September 21, 1915, a British barrister named Cecil Chubb was given a very simple task by his wife, Mary. She sent him to a local auction in Salisbury with strict instructions: buy a nice set of dining chairs for their home. But as Chubb sat in the auction house, he got distracted. "Lot 15" came up for sale, a 30-acre plot of land featuring a crumbling, dilapidated ring of ancient rocks. The bidding was incredibly sluggish, and on a complete whim, Chubb raised his hand. When the gavel fell, he had just purchased Stonehenge for £6,600 (roughly $800,000 today). He proudly presented the 5,000-year-old megalithic wonder to his wife as a surprise "birthday present." Mary was absolutely furious. She didn't want a pile of ancient rocks; she wanted her dining chairs. Three years later, tired of his wife’s complaints and realizing the immense historical weight of his impulse purchase, Chubb donated the entire monument to the British government. He attached one strict condition: the public must always have access to it. Today, it stands protected forever, all because a husband couldn't stick to a shopping list.
