The ARC That Made Me Stop Trusting the Process After reviewing an ARC that turned out to be undisclosed AI-generated work, I reflect on trust, transparency, and the ripple effects this has on reviewers and debut authors.

😡 Spent hours reviewing an ARC, only to learn it was 100% AI, not human. ARC sites missed vetting. Now I extra-vet debut authors I want to champion. Time for AI book transparency! Ethical AI use? YES. Deception? NO. #AIBooks #ARCTransparency #BookReviewers #DebutAutho
