Have to keep stopping myself from writing back with tips, like "the numbered gmail address is a dead giveaway" and "make sure you're not offering to help me promote a foreign translation that went out of print years ago."

AI is empowering a new generation of online scammers but it's also making them really lazy.

The cover of THE DEVIL IN SILVER, a novel by Victor LaValle.
A white bull's skull is flanked by red flowers in a spooky arrangement. The title is shown in silver letters. The authors name sits at the top of the book in red letters.
My novel about systematic evil & the need for regular people to team up & fight it is now available in the UK.
Sadly, some themes never go out of style.
THE DEVIL IN SILVER.
With a gorgeous cover and a wonderful introduction from the great @sgj.bsky.social

This isn't even what the article says! It's mostly about how nobody can really tell if AI is useful for science or maths, and as ever with every single one of these stories, there's one anecdote of a person saying "yeah it's good but you know, you need to check if it's right"

The problem with, say, trying to sell copies of one's book online, isn't limited to the algorithm or the competition. One thing I've noticed is that nobody has any money.

Does "used LLMs at any point during the writing process" necessarily refer to having the LLM write prose for you? Because these days, technically, I'm using an LLM every time I Google something.
