Stance on AI

It feels important to state clearly my stance on the role of generative AI in my writing process. It’s simple: AI has no role in my writing journey. I understand that it affords some people accessibility and I am not passing judgement on those that choose to use it as a tool if they feel comfortable doing so. I do not, and will not ever, feel comfortable using AI. My stories are one hundred percent flawed and come from my own imperfect brain. Humanity is at the heart of every story. Remove that, and you remove the proverbial soul of the work. Hands off my em- dashes!
