Editing is not about rewriting, but about helping a story be the best version of itself. That can mean making things clearer for the reader, but it can also mean making them less clear.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Not cool. Not here. Not ever. We will keep working with real translators and narrators (and artists and proofreaders and authors and...) without any of this "AI" bullshit.

We need these kinds of magazines to publish nonfiction. It's a tough time for literary criticism, essays about ideas, creative non-fiction, and I'm thrilled to see Apex is going to take pitches. Support if you can!

Just as a little reminder, depending on how much of the story is AI generated, you may not actually own the copyright. So you've wasted your time, the publisher's time, readers' time, destroyed the environment, and all for a thing you don't even own legally.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters. If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I just want to add: the chances of an editor not noticing, much less thinking the story is good enough to publish, are incredibly slim, while the consequences for submitting AI to publishers who donβt want it are likely severe and lasting. You might as well try writing the story yourself.
