I’m genuinely concerned by organised hostility towards people using AI for trivial things like social posts or infographics - work once done with clipart, Canva, or Publisher - not paid illustration. Disagreeing is fine. Dogpiling isn’t. AI isn’t going away. Engage respectfully - or get left behind.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who took part, amplified or shared the empathy message.
We’ve loved seeing how you jumped into someone else’s story this year.

Blocking a woman who was engaging politely and in good faith isn’t constructive debate. It’s a way to avoid discussion while still making accusations. That’s disappointing, and not a great look, @pgbellwriter.bsky.social #kidlit #kidlituk

I've never been one to chase shiny objects. I'm still not convinced of AI's value but I'm experimenting.

I invite all actors, writers, and other artists to join in the conversation.
