Whoa!!

Just saw a list of books that give "swoon worthy Valentine's Vibes." How many times must we point out that Anna Karenina, about a woman who throws herself in front of a train because of a fuck boy - is NOT a romance. Article adds disclaimer about the methodology. *sigh*

NYT question asks: Can AI chat box write emotionally rich romance? Since article is behind paywall, and I’m not paying, my answer is no. Even knowing they pirated and scraped all the books of every romance writer I know, I still say, no. What say you, Romancelandia??

Sister sent txt. - Bad Bunny was better than this game- So true. Commercials average at best.
