Right? The notion that we needed AI for anything is laughable, especially in Higher Ed and learning.

Gen AI can never ever hope to beat a desperate college student on a cocktail of Five-Hour Energy and Monster shots

And there's nothing like the rush of hitting SUBMIT or PRINT after you've pulled such a feat

In college, I had a twenty-page paper due at 8:00 AM on formal logic and truth-functional languages which I PLAIN FORGOT ABOUT until 3:00 AM. I double-fisted red bull shots, hand-wrote all my notes, ran to the 24-hour library, and typed up the whole thing like a feral raccoon on uppers. I got an A.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Today is pub day for Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine! However much writing can be a solitary act, putting a book out definitely isn’t. Thanks to Stillhouse Press and all of Tell Me Yours’ many champions.

My first book is out now. I hope you like it.

Episode 264 of my Eating the Fantastic podcast is now live with guest @foxesandroses.bsky.social! Join us at the table and learn why she ended up as a fantasy writer rather than a comic book creator, how a pantser handles world building — and much more. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
