Yes, there's a theme here...
So many of y'all think you're becoming Cyborgs when you're actually just batteries.

An album cover with a Goofy lookalike and the title, "This ain't it" in all caps.
Writers who are against using AI tools for writing but think they're fine for marketing are hypocrites. FOH.

Just saw this was getting ratiod hard, deservedly, and I feel bad for whoever's running social for PW that had to post the pathetic damage control follow-up.
Couldn't be a worst time to trash their credibility like this, and for what? #cmonson

I'm not really surprised since @publisherswkly.bsky.social has been platforming this guy's vapid AI boosterism for a while now, but it's still disappointing to see them co-sign and monetize his grift now.
He makes McIlroy's earnest boosterism seem quaint by comparison.

It's bad enough platforming AI grifters who can't give specifics but why does @publisherswkly.bsky.social keep featuring this guy when all of his examples are so objectively bad, he admits it while arguing everyone should embrace AI or die?!? 🤡💩

they had a metal detector in the front of the store. his co worker saw me beep when I came in with my Home Depot bag with a RIDGID driver, but he insisted upon searching my bag like...???
you're not doing loss prevention, you're just deciding someone to fuck with in your store 🤦♂️

Screenshot of PW's newsletter intro with this sentence highlighted: "On Substack, author Lincoln Michel presents his “grand ballroom theory of literature,” and linguist Emily M. Bender recounts an AI panel she participated in at this year’s WorldCon."
Thanks to @publisherswkly.bsky.social always giving Substack free promo, this makes it sound like @emilymbender.bsky.social is also writing there, which was a disappointing shock.
Thankfully, that's not the case; she's using Buttondown, which somehow doesn't qualify for free promo. 🤔

Why does @publisherswkly.bsky.social continue to spotlight Substack like a traditional media outlet, and writers as their contributors rather than independent operators?
It's why people remain unaware of its many problems when "mainstream" outlets continue to normalize them like this.

The headline and actual text of PW's coverage of their own US Book Show suggests they expected AI to be a big deal across the program, but it was actually kind of dud, when it came up at all. 🙃

"More importantly, it’s an insult to readers."
@maris.bsky.social nails it.
Practically every objectively boneheaded business decision publishers make is rooted in that fact: a disdain for readers.

Technically, it’s a long series, but I’ve rarely witnessed such a crushing Game 1 loss.

"I'm completely embarrassed."
This is embarrassing on many levels, but also the most predictable outcome of the "inevitability" argument, that leads people to blindly adopt (or mandate) tools they don't understand. #cmonson

Would people still play around with these tools if they understood how they actually work and the resources they consume?
Or maybe they just don't care and attention is more important than anything else?

A video game screenshot of a man walking down a well-lit alley, saying, "Ah shit, here we go again."
Substack has convinced so many people that they're independent creators who own their newsletters and audiences, but every single reference to them is framed as either "their Substack" or "on Substack."
Even worse, many of them use this framing themselves.

Meanwhile, it's 2025 and there's still not a single industry organization that has prioritized figuring out how to measure libraries' impact on book sales — other than the whispered accusations of digital lending hurting those sales. 🙃
