Senior editor @Nature.com's Careers team. Word nerd and chronicler of the geekosphere. Flip-turner at 5am. Opinions are just mine. she/her
I'm also an editor who got pitched by Victoria Goldiee and realized after a few minutes of deeper digging that her pitches were AI-generated. Bravo on telling this story so well! Scary for editors and publications...and sad for new writers who now are up against this as a barrier to entry, too!
