Dear Rayne,

I am surprised to find this email in my inbox given that I found you through AutoCrit. I certainly have no objection to a competition for people who don't want to use AI, despite being baffled how you will tell whether someone has used an AI prompt to inspire their story. There are plenty of good reasons not to use AI, especially as it can be considered unethical and supporting theft from creators. However, I am shocked at your blatant quotes in your 'funny' cartoons accusing people of not being 'real' writers just because they may have looked at something created by AI at some point in the story creation. I am even more horrified that you are telling people to quit because they find AI tools useful. AI does not take the skill or joy out of story craft. I shall be unsubscribing from your newsletter, which ironically in this format seems to have lost all the humanity that it used to have. I guess you won't be involved with AutoCrit anymore, since no one who uses it can be a 'real' writer.
