I know lots of people who use LLM to draft ordinary business communiquรฉ. For those who do not enjoy writing but are obliged to punch out tonnes of mundane text, LLM saves time and aggravation and empowers them to perform their primary duties more efficiently. Good on them.
But I cannot fathom why many people who hold themselves out as #authors resort to using #LLM to generate text that ought to have come from their mind and memory.

Open thread: Who here's a published author? If that's you, what's the title of your book, and a brief synopsis. I'm keen to find some interesting new books by folk on the socials. #book #books #writing #literature #auspol #authors #Urbanism #UrbanPlanning #cities
So, what we should wish for is that every part of the writing process would be as quick as the idea ๐ค
So, writers start looking for that magic lamp or whatever wish-giver you believe in...๐
Lets see what the disastrously hilarious consequences will be ๐

Okay #fediverse, I need new comfort reading. Recommend me some #authors. I love light scifi/fantasy humour of the British flavour, Terry #Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Tom Holt etc. Indies and unknowns welcome!
We #editors take care of our #authors. We want their writing out there in its best possible shape, and we point out brilliant ideas and wording when we see them, because #encouragement and #respect are motivating.
#kidsbooks #Authors When children read books they enjoy, it fosters a lifelong love of learning, boosts confidence, and improves language skills, with studies showing that children who read for pleasure are more likely to have above-average reading skills. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
"Since the founding of #Israel in 1948 โ and until 2024 โ there hadnโt been a major non-#religious #Hebrew #publishing house outside of the country. (There are thriving Hebrew presses for the #Haredi community in the #US and in #Europe, publishing everything from #biblical and #Talmudic commentaries to #childrenโs #books.)
This wasnโt always the case.
#ModernHebrew has roots in 19th-century Europe, where #Russian-born #lexicographer #EliezerBenYehuda lived and worked before joining the First #Aliyah in 1881.
There were flourishing presses in the language, including the original #SchockenBooks, founded in #Berlin in 1931 and boasting #authors like future Nobel Laureate #SYAgnon. #Hitlerโs rise and the #Holocaust, underscored by #book burnings on the streets, put an end to the industry on the continent."
"Israeli diaspora" in the diaspora is a concept I need some time to wrap my head around. ๐ค
