all that yoga finally paid off

When you say “And another thing,” you insinuate I was listening when you said the first thing. I resent that.

Learn about the hidden costs of AI with Amy Frushour Kelly at this session hosted during the #EFA Virtual Conference & 55th Anniversary Celebration coming this Sept. 5–6. Register today: https://twp.ai/4iqcyW

Featured Session:
What Powers a Prompt? From Servers to Sentences
Every time you generate AI content—text, images, or video—there’s a hidden energy cost. This session explores the environmental footprint behind AI, from data centers and power grids to the complexity of the prompts we write. As these tools become more common in editorial and creative workflows, understanding their real-world impact is increasingly important. We’ll look at what drives energy use, where transparency is lacking, and how editors and writers can make more informed, responsible choices.

Judging from CMOS and MW, this seems to be *technically* correct because the prefix "anti" is hyphenating a permanent compound noun.

Judging from *my own* perspective, this hyphen situation is just bananapants. Banana-pants?

pretty smart to call them both because it might be a real ghost or it could just turn out to be some dude in a mask

A8 Second, remain neutral in your queries. "Because of [this] and [that], it looks like AI was used in some capacity. Is that right?" And have an idea of what you're going to do with the information when they answer. How will it affect your process? Your relationship? Your trust? 2/2 #ACESChat

A8 First of all, I encourage you not to wait. Have a conversation with the author before starting. In a neutral tone, ask how they're using AI. If they feel you're judging, they're less likely to be open about their process. 1/2 #ACESChat
