Somebody needs to invent an app that will automatically disable AI in all of your other apps and programs. I would probably even pay for it. Or make it an option in antivirus/firewall protection.

Great workshop on query letters with @writeloudly.bsky.social. Thanks for your time and insight. The best bit was knowing that agents are humans that get nervous too! 😁😁 #booksky

Be careful out there.
