Etsy Witches Say Spell Casting Is No Longer Welcome on the Platform
For years, you could hire someone on Etsy to curse an evil ex, protect your home, or manifest better luck. Well, until now.

AI "content" is nothing but slop used as a grift, period. Any "author" knowingly using it for any stage of the process is a con artist, a thief, and a garbage human proving they don't care if the planet burns as long as they make a buck.
To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.
She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.
It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.
