What would you do if you had the power to protect what you love?
So what if Nyx’s humanity slips a when she uses her new AI-god abilities against a power-hungry Galactic Queen. If she doesn’t, she’ll lose everything she ever wanted--her own crew and a real family.

This.
The holidays bring a lot up for people. Some are full of joy. Some are just trying to get through the day. Wherever this lands, it’s okay. May today give you a moment to breathe, a reason to smile, and a reminder that you matter.

Good job @sfwa.org! Glad to see that the members' voices are heard. Now do LIMs for the Bradbury and Graphic Novel awards!

This is some capitulating bollocks:
'Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and the nature of the technology’s use will be made clear to voters on the final ballot.'

This was a perfect opportunity to take a principled stance. Instead we have a weak moderate position based not on principles, but on not offending anyone who builds their career on plagiarism and chicanery.
For shame, @sfwa.org.

I'm very disappointed in SFWA's soft stance on LLM and the Nebulas. Any use of LLM, disclosed or not, should not be awards eligible. It's plagiarism and crap, period

I like the last line on this especially. So tired of the world normalizing not doing the fucking work. Even more tired of people getting rewarded for it.

2/2 Nor, when it comes to writing awards, will I nominate or vote to award, a piece of work partially or wholly written by LLM. Awards are for writers who make the effort, not those who offload the difficult aspects of creation to a program mining the work of others. Do the fucking work, people.

1/2 Apropos of nothing in particular, I guarantee I will never write a piece of fiction with the "help" of a large language model because a) I spent too many years developing skills to just fuck off now, b) I don't plagiarize other authors, whether intentionally or by way of statistical matches.

If your story was written by AI, you didn’t actually write it, and that’s why I don’t want it or think it should be eligible for awards.
If your story was assisted by AI, you used tools that are built on plagiarism, and that’s why I don’t want it or think it should be eligible for awards.

Very disappointed in the new Nebula Award eligibility information from SFWA that allows partially-generated works to be on the ballot. See 9.11.2.

One of the things that gets me about this whole "replace people in publishing with AI" thing is that people in publishing (translators / editors / copy editors / authors / etc) are among the worst fucking paid people out there.

I agree with this entire thread. I am deeply disappointed by @sfwa.org 's decision, especially considering how many of its members (including me) had our work stolen for the creation of that generative AI. There is NO way anyone should be eligible for a Nebula without doing ALL the writing themself.
I'm so disappointed in @sfwa.org for this. I understand that by requiring disclosure of partial LLM-created works, as their announcement states, means SFWA's letting "nominators and the voters" make the final decision. BUT YOU'RE STILL ALLOWING SUCH WORKS ON THE NEBULA AWARDS FINAL BALLOT! 1/
Another Nebula Awards nomination cycle is in full swing, and the addition of poetry and comics, along with the presence of LLMs in industry, required careful consideration.
Read on, and vote well!
We trust our voters & look forward to what they choose to celebrate.

@sfwa.org is saying it’s perfectly fine to use the plagiarism machine *”trained” on work stolen from its dues-paying members* to qualify for a Nebula, and that it in fact encourages doing so.
This is utterly shameful.

@sfwa.org We elected the board to make hard decisions, and you're leaving it to the VOTERS? One LLM generated/edited/otherwise altered piece on the ballot means one less HUMAN who used their own skills gets recognized. The Nebula's FINAL BALLOT is as sacred a place as the award, treat it as such!
