I can't work in these conditions.

I can't work in these conditions.
I don't like doing this, but when a friend comes to me in distress because their publisher is using AI to promote an anthology they're in, I feel compelled to call it out. Weird House Press has used AI before and continues to do so. See below. Keep that in mind if you want to work with them.
