@axsticketing, the worst customer service on Earth.

Remember when you used to be able to just go to a venue and there was a ticket window and you could just buy a ticket for a show? And it wasn't run by an A.I. that refuses to help you?

Those were good times.

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

@axs, your ticket website is the absolute worst in the business.

Now it thinks I’m a bot, because YOUR WEBSITE kept refreshing.

I’m going to miss out on the show. Because of you.

Cool. Cool. Burn all the fucking AI to the ground.

@SouthwestAir sucks SO HARD now. But they know that and they’re doing it on purpose. Everything about my flight experience today has been 🤨.

Never seen a company destroy its own reputation this much this fast.

Cool. Cool. 🗑️

@Syla_Fox Sing it for the people in the back.

My work is better than AI. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@vickyweberbooks The amount of seven chapter book starts living in a graveyard on my computer because “who needs an outline?” 😑⚰️☠️

So glad I stopped doing that. ��

@TM_Brown The AI writing debate is currently a disagreement between those who like to performatively bootlick tech bros in public and those who like to performatively clutch their pearls in public.

Nuance is dead. Long live the Twitterverse.

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

@BeckyLTuch Turns out, the posted image isn’t entirely accurate.

The debate continues to be, what constitutes “written.”

You are right, though. We aren’t talking about this nearly enough, and nobody is digging into the nuances.

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

@BeckyLTuch That next sentence seems REALLY important…

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

Not gonna lie, @WWE:

Smackdown needs @CarmellaWWE back. Like now.

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

@justcastellon This.
It’s all so performative right now, just to get amens from people who will matter exactly zero to your actual work.
JUST. WRITE.
Stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and just put words on paper.

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

Literally the exact argument I’ve been trying to make all weekend. 🙌🏽

[ACC2- Adam Caisse @TiltAtGiants]

What is interesting that those of us who are creative won't say about AI, is that nobody could tell if the higher quality things are AI or not, or at least not definitively.

The audience, if they are not told something is AI, basically just cares if they enjoyed it.

Sure, if they absolutely love it they may become true fanatics and then want to know who the author is etc, but that just isn't how most people are.

Many will also delude themselves if they do like something.

For example, Sabrina Carpenter.

Her songs are written by committee, this is well known.

Yet, a lot of the audience tries to piece together some real life narrative of what inspired her or what must be going on in her interior life etc.

Point is, creative people want to believe what they create is so much more and special to the audience than what it usually is, and we have to acknowledge that most people, even our readers, likely will never care like we do.

Which is ok.

How many people actually watch all the movie credits?
Does anyone ask for the name of the person who designed the tires of their car, that literally keeps them on the road and prevents them from dying?

No.

Just write what you feel compelled to, find your audience if you are able and fortunate enough to stumble upon them, and don't focus on all this AI stuff.

Do your thing, stop worrying about what everyone else is doing.

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

I’m just gonna say it:

The #WritingCommmunity witch hunt against A.I. is 👏🏽also 👏🏽part 👏��of 👏🏽the 👏🏽problem.👏🏽

There is no reliable way to determine A.I. Everything that’s a so-called “tell” is also a thing human people do.

Stop accusing everyone and everything of A.I.

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

@zemthings @banannerbread Just posted about this.

The worst film to win for Best Picture in a VERY long time. Just plain trash.

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

One Battle After Another is the Crash of 2026.

Worst movie to win in a LONG time.

I said what I said.

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

@demimschwartz You are definitely in my three! Submitting this weekend!

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

@BeckyLTuch I have given up the em dash. I have stopped phrasing things in threes. I have even tamed my penchant for hyperbole.

But you can’t have my three words sentence fragments. Not today, Satan. Not tomorrow either. Not ever, sister. They are mine.

Dammit I phrased that as a three.

[Dr. Christopher Bell @DocChristopherB]

I had an agent request my partial, then politely pass with a letter that pointed out a thing that I ALSO HATE about my first 50 pages and immediately sent me back into rewrites because I WAS RIGHT. Take that, brain!
