You are the standard bearer for our fight, Rayne.

Maybe in your next newsletter, could you point out things to look out for (wording, structure, etc.) that will tell us a book is AI generated. If I have one, I will return it and deprive the AI-sters of any royalties.

How do you tell the difference between those who write with AI and those who WRITE? Even without AI, my work was stolen. I found it sold on Amazon and when I confronted them, asking for my royalties, they said they had no way to determine how many copies were sold. I do not believe AI will ever be able to write what I can because it is not a human, it is not a creative, it has no PERSONAL history or legacy, it has no person memory, and it lacks the most essential element of all: emotion. The mealworms I am raising for my chickens have more emotion than AI. The concept of beauty in Japanese culture cannot be separated from its acknowledgement of death. AI has no concept of its own death. Neither, apparently, do the bro brothers who are turning this world into a young male-centered neurologically damaged video game. Ecological collapse--hopefully not total--will be the death of AI.

I'm sorry to hear about AI hurting your writing career. I'm glad you have your pets and garden to comfort you.

I find the information about AI destroying your future as a writer of both fiction and nonfiction devastating, my friend. The news makes me weep as I write this note. I don't think I've purchased books written by AI, but perhaps I have. It seems hard to tell. I am so pleased to hear that you continue to enjoy the company of your cats and the beauty of your land.
