But since my copies are stuck in Holyhead parcel pileup & open access version not yet available on publisher website I'm saving marketing stuff to new year. As a launch day it's a bit of an anti-climax! But it's no longer 'in press'

I have a draft of a paper on AI that I would really, really like some feedback on. It's about whether it's a good idea to use AI technologies to persuade people of things (spoiler: I say no). You can find it here if you are so inclined: philpapers.org/rec/MCKSOS
