Hello! I'm Lauren Seal, author of the YA novel-in-verse Light Enough to Float. I'm a writer, former Poet Laureate, and assistant director of SWYC (the Spoken Word Youth Choir).
The sophomore slump is REAL. Rewriting a draft that I hope becomes something. #YALit

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.
