How to filter out AI Images in Google Image Search.
Sharing this with my students so I figured I'd also share it with everyone here.
Hopefully this image is still relevant given Google's changes. Save this on your computer or phone and refer to it as needed.

Well, most of the preparation is done, and with Christmas and New Year coming up, that's probably a good thing xP
But that said, I'll read through the text and tag where I need to put in work.

Different things, but what works best for me is the strategy I use for blank pages.
I have a convo on the page with myself about why I'm stuck. Usually, it's story unrelated, so I write worries, annoyances, sadnesses, to clear my head, then I brainstorm my scene, then I write.

I start a conversation with myself right on the page, 'So what do I need now? I need her to get to x. How do I get there? Option a. No, b is better. Well, actually, c should happen, too'.
No longer a blank page, nothing to fear, and I get my bearings to continue into the scene.

I'm not sure about comp titles. I've never been good at that.
Authors who I find inspiring are people like Diana Wynne Jones, Judith Tarr (absolutely in love with her use of language), Victor Hugo, Jack London, Mercedes Lackey, and more.

In Earthbound, a brother and sister find themselves trapped in a power struggle their family lost before they were even born.
If they lose this round, it will be the end of their people, the end of spirit magic, and the end of the man they thought was their enemy.

Introduce the WIP you're working on in January (it's okay if it changes!).
Give us a short pitch (don't worry about the wording, this is just for fun!) and, if you'd like, a graphic or art. Don't forget alt-text.

It cannot be said enough that you shouldn't trust AI-generated search results.
AI Overviews on Google are particularly egregious because they're at the very top of the results and presented to everyone by default — people who didn't ask for them and likely don't understand the problems.

I asked Google “what is the opening line of Toni Morrison’s novel Song of Solomon?” I know it roughly but I wanted the exact wording.
Google now inflicts AI responses on all searches. I was startled by just how incorrect the AI response was. Like, my god. Is this what people are using????
