Why use AI to promote books, of all things?

...he makes you laugh. That tells me a lot more about you, and our supposed connection, than you might even realize about yourself." Platforming AI on any level is elevating the bully. If you post it accidentally, take it down. WTH are you even doing calling me your friend if you don't? 🧵4/4

Randee Dawn @randeedawn.com · 26/09/2026

... or because they're "on our side." Platforming slop is platforming the bully. It's giving space to the complete a-holes who STOLE from ME (supposedly your friend) and many of my friends and peers, on top of everything else AI is doing to ruin things. You're supporting the bully because 3/4

"As you probably know, a big set of bullies recently kicked my ass -- and the ass of many other creators -- repeatedly and got away with it. When you post that slop, and say it's just for fun, or it's OK because it's making fun of TFG, it's like you inviting the bully over because they're fun... 2/4

When I note that a friend's post is AI and they get either het up or say "it's just a joke" or suggest I side with the orange menace because it's a political thing I feel like saying: 1/4 🧵

I question whether the Amazon numbers are even representative of your Amazon sales. I was told recently if you order 5 books of the same title going to the same address, for example, it counts as 1 sale.

The image feels AI. Is it?

Randee Dawn @randeedawn.com · 25/09/2026

NP! It’s a word you don’t see used much, and of course “stole” means other things too

Obvs. it’s a work in progress but so you know it’s a fox “stole,” not “stoll.”

The phrase is easily misinterpreted. Absolutely make up stuff. Absolutely spend time learning more things. But it wasn't until I wrote stories that wove in decades of experience in my field that my stories really gained texture and depth. That's how I interpret it.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Admittedly, I'm not delighted by the transcription aspect, but I support this otherwise.

Lets hear it for the @tvcritics.org which in one sentence has forbidden members to use AI beyond basic tools. It should be this easy for all organizations. 👀📺 www.tvcritics.org/tca-bylaws #NoAI #TV #tvcritics
