![You need to stop putting your work into these platforms, immediately.
[HIGHLIGHTED]I could get up on a high horse and give you a million reasons why you should not ever, under any circumstances be doing this when it comes to the greater collective (theft of others work and effort and time, the fact that it depletes our natural resources). But I only need tell you that you are ruining your chance at creative happiness. It’s ruining your brain. I know this because it’s making you bleed joy.[END HIGHLIGHTING]
Your letter troubled me, friend. I worry that you have decided to just let go of all thought and let a computer think for you. That’s not what writing and passion and creativity is about. It’s not art. You do not need generative AI to give you story ideas. You do not need a robot to tell you whether your work is good. Only you can do that. Stop roadblocking your own writing life.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3qwscvjsncjpibfnzmkoqvif/bafkreihwvqoxydedzbg3uvf5dz6a5hsaquykpyxt5huhkineb2wzu5zt7e@jpeg)
