I think this also adds to my concerns about platforming these people in this way. They get to misrepresent themselves by stealing the reputation & heart of the books they list by associating themselves with them. It breaks my heart to see art used like this.

This is another reason I think we should start putting little messages or symbols on news and opinion pieces, ads, literary works, play programs, movies, even emails and letters, asserting that generative AI was not used in their creation.

Had a dream of a meme format where it was like 'leftists are like this online' and a social message post full of right-on sentiment and modish language, then 'but like this in the office' and a business letter with company letterhead and the same content as the post in the letter. Which isn't bad.

Lots of folks out there confusing 'liking art' with 'displaying good taste'. Cut it out.
