A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Over halfway, but let's keep that momentum going! And not that it's necessarily much of a bonus, but: hopefully I'll be at LavenderCon this year so if you bring Duxxx in a Row by the @duckprintspress.com booth I could even sign it for you if you wanted!

We've crossed 50% funded! btw, since it's tdov, I thought I'd mention - around a third of the authors involved in this project are trans and/or nonbinary, and multiple of the stories feature trans and/or nb characters!

I got a spam a few days ago pretending to be from Macmillan, using company logos and faked company website links and everything. Author-targeting spam is intensifying like oncoming storm.

This is so deliciously mean and at the same time 100% correct. I cackled at “a symphony of ideas.” Before AI, guys like this used to write to people like me saying they had an amazing concept for a graphic novel and would I write it for free
