What the fuck, Joyce. I don’t even read romance novels but this kind of thinking pisses me the fuck off. It further pushes that mentality that some books as “lesser” which is bullshit! All books count!

Joyce Carol Oates
This is why Al-generated romance novels make perfect sense. Formulaic fiction doesn't need to be written by hand, so to speak; what difference does it make if a machine "writes" it? There are machine-made clothes & there are custom-made clothes. They appeal to different consumers.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

When I was a tiny child in the early 80s, there was an anime I watched that my parents referred to as "Portlanders in Space" and I have no idea what it was actually called. But that was my first anime show.

the concept of "existing in a bubble" & that being a shameful, bad thing to correct, is brought to you by the same people trying to convince you to stop knowing how to read or do math because they have built a bot that does both things badly for you.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers

Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase

Speaking of coffee interviews, I overheard what I thought was an interview at a coffee shop & 1 person was like "my weakness is that I'm TOO passionate" but THEN they said "what about you? what's your biggest weakness?" and I am asking that at my next job interview for SURE.

I'm experiencing the same thing. This week I got a spam email that not only got my name completely wrong, it confused the name of my website for the name of my upcoming book and then hallucinated a BUNCH of stuff for a 2 page rambling synopsis of what my website book was about.

fun fact for the NY Times editors: if a computer program does what you programmed it to do, "going rogue" is not an accurate way to describe that event. Words should probably still mean something at the paper of record.
