    Draft2Digital is surveying authors about licensing Generative AI on their work. This is part of my response: &amp;quot;Generative AI is unethical. It violates copyright, privacy, and accuracy expectations. It is deeply wasteful of energy. It can be used for scams, to impersonate a person&amp;#39;s writing style. And we don&amp;#39;t know what future uses it will have once the material is taken. So no price can be high enough.&amp;quot; 1/2

    And this is the rest: &amp;quot;The resulting product will also be inferior, and as such will reduce readers expectations of literature, which will depress the market for ALL books. It poisons the well, making it harder for young new writers to enter the field because there will be no way for them to make a living.&amp;quot; 2/2 #Draft2Digital

    I don’t think I&amp;#39;ve covered all of the potential negatives for AI book licensing, just a few of the main ones. I hope fellow authors respond to the survey with a resounding NO. Gen AI is a black mark against any service that uses it.

    I wore my mask in town today, mainly because we haven&amp;#39;t had rain in ages so pollen and harvest dust is getting to me. A few more people were in masks too - evidence of the recent Covid wave, perhaps?

    @ross My feelings too when I saw a similar display last Wednesday. If not for family, I&amp;#39;d rewrite the whole festive tradition. Once every 3 years should be enough...

    @tkinias@historians.social No. She&amp;#39;s already famous enough, and if her style of pop isn&amp;#39;t your bag there&amp;#39;s no dearth of other Harris- supporting singers.

    @Techaltar I went there to look something up, got distracted, didn&amp;#39;t get round to finding the thing... It&amp;#39;s definitely unhealthy.

    @bethanyrobison Kobo all the way. They have a new colour one out, but I would recommend going with one of their black and whites instead because the contrast is much better and you therefore don&amp;#39;t have to turn up the brightness and glare.

    Lincolnshire declared a major incident due to the flooding yesterday. Today we have wildfires in California. It&amp;#39;s linked. We are all going to have to get used to preparing to evacuate, and to deal with these kinds of climate-related emergencies regularly.

    @aral Blocked recently, but I don&amp;#39;t run an instance.

    I&amp;#39;m doing a reading of a short story at an event next week, Fireside Tales, with a few other authors. Rehearsing it has given me renewed respect for audiobook narrators who make this seem easy!
