What the Heck Just Happened? YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson

Everyone shouldnโ€™t this, especially if you love inter US and still feel your rights are safe www.youtube.com/live/Sp3i8KU... #democracy #uspolitics

Including AI generated work in the festival insults authors like me. But I also want to add that I think all the other authors participating in the festival do not use AI - no one who seriously cares about their craft would.

I was excited I could promote my book published by a small Canadian Press, especially since there are not a lot of publicity opportunities. I didnโ€™t notice this online AI presentation until it was brought to my attention today.

In regards to the ongoing concerns about Eden Mills Writersโ€™ Festival presentation on AI written novel, I want to say it's very upsetting. I donโ€™t use AI in my work and am aware of its environmental impact. Continued in comments

Yes thank you! Iโ€™m aware of this situation. It is very upsetting to me and other authors who donโ€™t use AI. Honestly, I donโ€™t think anyone who cares about their craft would.

Perhaps you should talk to the organizers instead

I donโ€™t use AI in my writing or art, and am aware of its environmental cost. I have just heard about the issue.
