Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out.
As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class.

They know exactly what they’re doing, and actually, I suppose I should clarify that when I say “conservative media”, I am simply referring to mainstream media. Maybe once there was a genuinely left-wing portion of it but there isn’t anymore and this subject has showcased that better than any other.

I think Lady Eve generally has been pretty one-sentence-pitched but for the bit: a Small Time Criminal posing as a Space Debutante attempts a Revenge Con but does a Profoundly Mediocre Job due to being Very Distracted by the mark's Hot Suspicious Sister who is In Trouble with the Interstellar Mob
Thinking of how I can trick romance authors into promoting their books with a one sentences description of what actually happens again. We gotta ease off the trope only vibes. WHAT HAPPENS!

A common mistake many new writers make is crafting a character and then, without story justification or world building to support it, making them heterosexual. This leaves readers confused & takes them out of the story.
