If you are a writer and you follow me, you know my stance on Gen AI in the arts. If you tell me the only thing you use AI for is your book covers... I will block you. I don't care how friendly you've been with me. I care about artists and many are my friends. I don't support you stealing from them.

So it turns out that using Gen AI rots your brain. Who woulda thunk it?

There’s no release window on joy. Whether a game came out yesterday or five years ago — it’s new the moment you hit play.

I keep seeing reports of non-AI users being told that an AI detector has dubbed their work AI generated, and it makes me insane because: 1) AI detection tools are themselves AI and thus entirely bullshit; and 2) if an AI was trained on your works, of COURSE it’ll flag you as sounding “like” AI!

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

Seeing a nasty hacking scam going around that targets game workers - where compromised accounts ask you to test out a game, but it's a keylogger. Exact sort of thing so many indies would ask, but it's a scam - don't download it! (Hope Jupiter and others get their accounts back soon!)

Dear interactive narrative people :) There's been a great response to this so far (thank you!), but every single survey matters. Apart from the information, weight of numbers counts. So, PLEASE take a moment to complete the survey and to send it on to others. Thanks in advance!!

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 12: However good your work is, there will be people who hate it. This is an inescapable part of having readers. Live with it. Accept it. And know that for every person who doesn’t like your work, there may be another whose life has been changed by something you wrote.
