If you have your own website (which you should!), upload all those PDFs to your own Dropbox or Google Drive, make those links all available for the public to view, and then post those on your website -- not the godforsaken live URLs to websites that could go under at any minute.

A note to all the journalists and writers out there: Save PDFs of all of your pieces published online NOW. Don't be like me and spend your Friday night creating PDFs based off Wayback Machine screen grabs of your articles/essays that were published on now-defunct websites.

I want to highlight this stupid fucking bullshit because literally EVERY TIME an AI writing company has a website, they always have a screenshot that looks good until you read the words that are on the screenshot.
Screenshot from ProWritingAid’s website: Generate writing ideas, improve readability and save time writing with AI SParks.

The screenshot shows that AI has suggested that the paragraph “It was a bright sunny day, the kind of day that made everything feel possible. Sarah woke up early <not visible> because she <not visible> the day’s <not visible> needs to have sensory detail added, and has changed it to “The morning sun cast a warm golden glow, illuminating the world with endless possibilities. Sarah, filled with anticipation, rose prematurely from her slumber, unable to contain her excitement for the day’s thrilling escapade.”
