Hey, WA! It's voting day! If you're tired of waking up to new reasons the president hates our state, look at who is on your ballot and vote accordingly! This time around we're also voting for state Supreme Court judges, and we see every day how important judges are to fighting the Orange Regime!

Yup. Had a conversation with a guy who justified using it for the "tedious stuff" he doesn't want to do because he's been a writer for 20 years. The tedious stuff is what makes you a better writer - the character development, knowing how to check pacing, etc. Rewriting AI output is being an editor.
