new mantra dropped

There’s no moral argument that will sway someone away from using AI if they’ve already decided it’s fine to use. And there’s no argument about quality that will stick because using AI atrophies your ability to know what is good writing. The only thing that works is calling them dork ass dorks.

“AI is an opportunity disguised as a problem” is something AI would write. It feels truth-y, but then you scrutinize it for a millisecond and see it’s completely false. AI has well-documented problems. A tool doesn’t make people dumber while stealing content and burning down the world.

when I’m on vacation and I end up being able to find the time to write the poems are always, from first draft to last, 100% better than what I dribble out at home, and I’m always like WHY but obviously it’s because I am in a safe, positive place, having a 10am beer

whenever a book seems to promise something supernatural and then it’s revealed to just be Some Guy I get so irritated bc it always happens *right after* I believe that maybe, actually, this time THIS TIME the writer will go for it only for it to turn into “you meddling kids” again

Hey, I'm accepting book pitches for @barrelhouse.bsky.social for our new nonfiction series, For What It's Worth. Book-length essays (25-30K words) on a pop cultural obsession, ideally with a personal angle that makes the book something only you could write.
