"Silence, in the Doorway, with the Gun" by @nadiaradovich.bsky.social , about what would be different if you could make different choices, and whether having a choice itself is something you can choose-sometimes it is, and sometimes not. www.flashfictiononline.com/article/sile...
Silence, in the Doorway, with the Gun

You should take Vajra's advice and fill out SFWA's survey.

The survey is open to non-members (I am not one) and to readers (who here is not &c.) so I encourage you to share your feelings on the matter. Don't assume that everyone already understands that AI is bad or why! I mean, people *should*, but you could say that about a lot of things.

Feedback from writers is strongly welcomed in the survey.

There is no ethical use of AI because the continued existence of the AI industry is directly harmful to (alongside everyone else) the interests of everyone whose labour makes books exist—writers of fiction & nonfiction, illustrators, translators, researchers, editors, everyone.
