As a suicidal person, I cannot express how absolutely vile it is. I can understand why people would ask ChatGPT because when you're desperate you're going to something you're comfortable with and this is it for certain people. But this is going to kill them (and it already did). Very disgusting.
There are no words for how evil this is

Indie author transparency post! ✨
October wasn't a good month considering I had my 3 spooky books on sale. 4 sales was all I could pull in,
BUT
I did have a sale for a bookplate on Ko-Fi!
And according to my multi-complex excel sheet, I've earned in $200 in 2025 and 12.4% of my total expenses!

So, if I want an encyclopedia which uncritically steals from existing encyclopedias, will awkwardly reword things, and get things wrong with invented sources, there's now an option for that?
May we stop this nonsense already?

I've been talking a lot about my coming novella, but what if you want sci-fi? You can get both currently out books from the Azaes Realm series on Itch for a devilishly good price for their Halloween sale. It's spooktacular!
