Look, I’m a lot of things but I don’t think calling me ‘unsupportive of the book community’ is very fair. I promote for free. I buy books and review them. I uplift every single genre.

Literally flabbergasted that someone would say this of you. It's blatantly false.

"Unfair" doesn't go far enough. It's a flatout lie. No one supports the book community like you do.

viannemax.bsky.social•3 days ago

You’re incredibly supportive! Proof of that includes your stance on generative ai.

stevejwright.bsky.social•3 days ago

Blocking "generative AI" IS supporting the book community, and don't let anyone tell you different.

They're not worth your - or anyone's - time.

Calling you unsupportive of the book community is delusional…absolutely delusional. Anyone who spreads that kind of lie is truly attempting to incite discourse amongst this community. I cannot say enough that you are and have always been a good person and avid supporter of the writing community.

AI gen isn't the book community. AI gen it's people larping as the book community.

Don't let it get to you! You're fine. They aren't your audience and you aren't their's. Chin up!

You are wonderful part of the book community. No explanation is needed. I believe in you and your work speaks for itself. Block whoever you want for whatever reasons you choose. I support you and wish you well. ❤️📚

Calling out and blocking generative AI is probably one of the ways you can be MOST supportive these days.

WHO DID THIS TO YOU *in the best book boyfriend voice you've ever heard*

No fr who?? I am so sick of seeing decent people going above and beyond for authors and readers being dogpiled on for no good reason 😡

lmao so standing up against something that is trained on tons of stolen data is unsupportive now? bruh what the fuck are they talking about

gdpenman.bsky.social•3 days ago

people using generative ai aren't "the book community" they're content farmers mad that there is now a clear distinction between them and people who actually give a fuck about writing.

^This. Standing up against genAI is one of the strongest ways you can stand up for the book community. Ignore them, as difficult as it is; they either know what they're doing (defending making easy money content farming) or they don't understand AI (and they'll regret their position when they do)

You shall have my sword. As well as my utter contempt for these GenA.I. TechBro douchecanoes.

I'd think you were being more supportive of the book (/writing/art) community by not engaging with the fake stuff while uplifting the real stuff. 🤔

daxaeterna.ink•3 days ago

The people saying this are being disengenous asshats who are trying to trample on you to promote their own drivel.

thebookwyrmshoard2.bsky.social•3 days ago

If you're unsupportive of the book community than we all are. Like everyone else said blocking AI is not just supporting the book comment it's supported artists period. Keep fighting the good fight, you're making the world a little bit better.
