    Enough people cared that they decided to ban AI submissions in the future. Did you even click the link before commenting?

    It's going to be hard for you to do more of that, considering that AI forms are destroying the books. You know, the whole point of the article...

    That's still bad advice. Sometimes writing is just useful, not enjoyable.
