My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

Well, I’m not feeling sorry for him at all. Actions have consequences. Also, he doesn’t seem regretful that he used AI in the first place, just that he didn’t check the AI’s work and is now dealing with the fallout. It’s fine if his writing career is over. He wasn’t really a writer anyway.
