Lazy (swear word deleted) Writers

Three Times This Week…

That’s right, just this week, I got letters from writers wanting me to look at their Kickstarters for inclusion in my Kickstarter Friday. Clearly not a one of them have read one of the Kickstarter Friday posts. But that is not the laziness I am talking about.

Nope, just this week three different writers with different projects wasted my time looking at their campaigns (which for regular, real writers, I love to do) because they used AI somewhere in the process.

The art, the writing, the proofing, something in the campaign itself, and so on.

They were all early stage writers too stupid to understand that AI used stolen work from writers and artists because heaven forbid a young writer would care about copyright theft.

Every Friday on Kickstarter Friday posts I say the same thing… “I do not bother with anyone who is so flipping lazy as to us AI in any part of their campaign.”

These three lazing fucking writers wasted my time and energy because they used my stolen work and others.

AI may be a tool of the future, but right now in fiction and art, it is just pure theft.

So back to what I said yesterday. And what Harlan said. “PAY THE WRITERS!” Don’t steal our work or ask us to work for free. And I hope in November to be paid for some of my work one AI company stole.

And yes, I am angry because I got my Covid and Flu shots yesterday and didn’t have a lot of time today to waste on thieves.
