The queries have started about “What if I only used a little bit of AI for my story submission.”
The answer is, fuck AI. Uncanny Magazine doesn't want your story. There is no grey area here. Send us a story using AI for any aspect, it will be auto-rejected and you will be banned. Period.

Billionaires say we need to increase the population so we can have more Mozarts while simultaneously saying we don’t need Mozart because AI can make music better than a human anyway.

They don’t mean anything they’re saying. It’s all just words to hide their greed and white supremacy behind.

An average heavy metal level and heavy metal test result chart for 211 store-bought bags and boxes of rice and alternate grains. The general trend is California and Sushi Rice short and medium grain rice is lowest, but highest are Rice Belt grown long-grain rices from the American South and Italian Arborio rice. Meanwhile Barley, Amaranth, Bulgar Wheat, Quinoa, Couscous, Farro, Buckwheat, Millet, and Spelt Wheat are all far lower than even the low Calrose rose.

and use the contaminated soil to grow long-grain rice
