Hate to share your writing for AI training?
Not me!

I know AI not going to sell copies of my stuff out of the trunk of a car somewhere. See why: https://t.co/K1q7LAQK7l

As a writing educator, I love it when LLMs learn from me. There are reasons for open minds to rethink AI training too.

That lack of backbone hurts authors, whether you use AI tools or not.
