Happy Book Birthday to Witches in the Air, my collection of poetic essays on the topic of historical and modern witches, witchcraft, and those falsely accused.

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

Author Steven Vickers wrote on Threads, "To confirm, this '100% AI generated' passage is the opening of Chapter 5 from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. I think authors are going to get screwed in these AI witch hunts."

Did you know? In the Victorian era, some experimenters believed photography might capture human thoughts. They attempted experiments in which a person would sit before a camera and concentrate intensely on a specific image, while a photographic plate was exposed. #Victorian #history

It shows a photograph using double imagery to make it appear as though a woman's face has appeared in a goblet, while a man smoked.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature

The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

This novel follows a shy college freshman with a complicated personal life as she participates in a campus ceremony that awakens more than her inner potential!

Awakening At Equinox, in English and translated to Espanol, is a novel of a shy college freshman with a complicated personal life who participates in a campus ceremony that awakens more than her inner potential - it may have roused something primal and murderous!
