BREAKING: LOCAL WOMAN RESURRECTED more at 11

I loved your novel idea when we talked. Please write ittttt

Also, yes, I know a lot of authors have simply stopped submitting because it's demoralizing to see so much slop published

I can definitely agree that this whole shitfest has been awful and dehumanizing. I feel for your friend. This is an awful time to be trying to publish. I don't think anyone is saying Pangram should be the gatekeeper, And if editors *are* saying that I'd no longer sub to their mags, tbh

to their argument. FWIW I'm happy to provide Pangram results of all of my published short stories (you can also run all of my Substack posts through it with their internal Pangram tool). Also, I'm not accusing this person of lying, just that my exp doesn't match and I'd like more transparent data.

Pangram 4 debuted right before this article IIRC. I have seen it before. This author's experience totally goes against my own experiences and the experiences of others I know using the program. It is notable that this author does not provide the actual text they ran, which would lend credence...

It's certainly not your friend's job to prove her work is human but I'm also very interested in seeing literally *anything* flagged false positive so I can calibrate my own internal editor. Attached is my attempt to try to fool it and then a story I generated based on that attempt.

I would genuinely love to see that work. I see scores of people claiming false positives but no one ever seems to want to share. I did have one friend get a false positive on a religious prayer she'd adapted for her aesthetic, but there are hundreds of AI versions of that prayer floating around.

I think if you're using Pangram to solely make editorial decisions then you shouldn't be an editor, to be frank. But I could view it as "tools in a toolbox" There's a lot of misinformation out there, much of it repeated in this thread. I've been trying to fool it and have been unsuccessful.

i’ve been seeing the anatomical heart emoji being used as a react everywhere lately and if people could just not that’d be great

The Hugo's Best Semiprozine category has a problem. Every single nominee in the semi-pro category pays professional rates. Every single nominee in the semi-pro category is not a semi-pro magazine. The exact same professional publications get nominated every single year.
