If you still believe OpalApparition used Claude “just twice”, or that she didn’t use it at all, please see her own words.
You deserve to know and to care that you were lied to. I and other anti-AI writers she coerced into unknowingly editing AI processed text deserve to be furious at her deception.

I've been wrestling with how to phrase this for few days now and I'm sorry it's not better.
I messed up. I am sorry. [a green bar obscures a few words here] I owe you an explanation and a proper apology, and I want to give that to you because you have been my friends and you deserve to hear it directly from me.
But I can't do that in this exact moment as my life is imploding in ways I can't even fully process yet. I need to step away from the Internet for a while because overall backlash has just consumed me. You all mean very much to me and I'd rather have you hear this from me than otherwise, so I hope you would be willing to listen to me later, but if not, l completely understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hr7q2gkdlst4q4jylugrptlt/bafkreigur7evcbquwsdg5a25f6xkqho6i2ws4uitatqvr4k52x46j35o7e)
