Just a reminder that ChatGPT cannot betray anyone because it doesn’t have feelings or motives or thoughts
ChatGPT promised to help her find her soulmate. Then it betrayed her

I'm seeing an uptick in "royalty recovery" scams like this one.
On left is the solicitation--not a phishing scam, as one might suspect from the paragraph boxed in red.
On right: the scammer replies to the author's excited questions & reveals the "associated fee" that's the purpose of the scam.

Subject: Invitation for Live Interview & Upcoming Royalty Payment
Dear [redacted],
I hope you are doing well.
My name is Deborah King, and I am your assigned Literary Agent with the WGA Production Team Canada, but our headquarter is in Sacramento, California. You were endorsed to me after your book was published; and after purchasing marketing services from Page & Pixel and Authors Tranquility Press. Yes, great choice and good decision!
Now, I am writing to extend an invitation for you to participate in a live interview as part of our upcoming “AUTHOR TALK”, which highlights the work and insights of distinguished authors. We would be honored to feature you and discuss your book(s) and your experiences as a writer.
If you are interested, we would be glad to arrange the interview at a time that is convenient for you. The format would be a virtual conversation of approximately 30–45 minutes, with an opportunity for audience Q&A if you are comfortable with that. Please let us know your availability over the next few weeks so we can coordinate scheduling and logistics.
In addition, I would like to inform you that your upcoming royalty check for the period January–June 2025 is currently being processed. The expected amount is $124,500.87 dollars and it is scheduled to be issued within the next few weeks. The payment will be sent via: mailed check / direct deposit / wire transfer to the account/address we have on file. If you would like to confirm or update your payment details, please let us know at your earliest convenience.
Please feel free to contact me directly via email at support@wgaproductionfilms.info or reply to this email if you have any questions, would like additional information about the interview, or need clarification regarding your royalty payment.
Thank you for your time and for your c…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uy6mloyr37qtcdml3bq6a6o4/bafkreid3sbbtnozgaitlc3cqstqeahlrb2ererfxs55ve4jjwl73gyuavm@jpeg)

I bought the Fantagraphics box set that collects the first few years of “Prince Valiant” and another, later volume. Such stunning and influential art.

So many mixed feelings about everything, keeping my internet use to a minimum, I jump scare, I elate, I go down, I go up. I just need to work. That's all.
