Accusations of #plagiarism or #AI use in writing must be supported by a preponderance of credible evidence, not em-dashes and vibes and how things sound to someone's ear.
The burden of proof rests with the person making the accusation. THE BURDEN OF PROVING INNOCENCE DOES NOT REST WITH THE AUTHOR. This standard must apply equally to all writers.
Defending due process is not the same as defending misconduct, and it is important.

Unknown parent • • •@RaymondPierreL3 I strongly believe that the dogmatic anti-AI stance in most of the creative community is harmful. I donāt want to discount the genuine harm various forms of LLMs cause. Are LLMs use for edit checks any worse than traditional grammar checks? I donāt understand that position. Theyāre also useful tools for development tasksā research and brainstorming come to mind.
By being dogmatic, we ensure nobody listens to the underlying real concerns.

To me, he problem I see with the dogma is best expressed this way:
Strict parents raise sneaky children.

I bet you're also guilty of adopting the printing press! With movable type, nonetheless!

Unknown parent • •Thatās a fascinating way to approach writing. I especially like what you said about magic realism and noticing the āmagicā in everyday life. Your two novel ideas sitting quietly in your files sounds like theyāre simply waiting for the right moment.
As for me, Iām Johnson. Iām a writer, Book Editor, and Story Consultant, so I spend a lot of time around manuscripts, stories, and the creative process. I also work with authors on developing and refining their stories, which is something I genuinely enjoy.
And yes, youāre probably not overlooking anything with my profile. Iām still getting everything organized here, so I appreciate you pointing that out. š
Iād actually be interested to hear about one of those magic-realism stories youāve written. What kind of everyday āmagicā do you usually find yourself writing about?
