When questioned about potential inaccuracies of the algorithm, the once-esteemed angel has "no concerns whatsoever" and even seems delighted at the idea of AI's misjudgment, since "they probably deserve it anyway."

My sources tell me Satan has started using an AI algorithm to streamline the eternal damnation admittance process: "There are just too many of you."

All of my feedback consists of informed suggestions! As all feedback should be. As the poet, you have the authority to either accept or ignore what I say. Your work deserves close attention and honesty, at the very least. And that is what I love giving.

Michael Beard @themichaelbeard.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

This service will not impact my position as EIC of Paraselene in any way, nor vice versa. The two are completely separate from one another. I am not reading with an eye for publication value here, but instead focusing on your poem's potential (from my own poetic perspective).
