Quite the camerawork.

Joanna, you’re magnificent! I’ve listened to you for years push authors forward. Thank you for being forward-thinking, brave, and passionate. Yaaaeh, Joanna!

Why are people in such a rush to get books out? Stories need time to be written. There’s no better feeling than thinking of the next scene, the ending, a plot twist, a character flaw. When an idea pops into your head and you just know you figured out the story’s soul, that’s what it’s all about. That’s what makes you a writer. To leave that antenna open to the muse, and showing up everyday until the signal comes.

[@brenttowns1204]

People who can't write (or are too lazy) flooding the market with books they didn't write, making it harder for those who do the hard work just to scratch a living. Who cares if they have a story to tell. Let them work at it like normal people. What satisfaction is there when a machine writes it for you?

[@cathywilson2800]

Writing with AI seems more like an "amplifier" of greed than an improver of human creative potential.

Thanks for your integrity on this topic Truby.

[@zrienkersh1475]

Truby thinks we can put the car back inside the horse and keep driving the horses.

[@Edinburghdreams]

If you use gen AI as an author you deserve everything that the world throws at you. If you don't want the job then get out of the way for people who do. It's disgraceful, selfish, greedy, immoral, short sighted behaviour.
