The Wise Wolf has found himself and others plying legitimate work on Substack being pillaged by scammers, bots and celebrities passing themselves off as actual reporters, and the problem is getting worse:

"This is about whether real journalism can survive in an age where anyone with an internet connection can generate a thousand words of convincing-looking nonsense in thirty seconds and pass it off as legitimate commentary."

He goes on to describe a situation that's quickly going downhill, and he's done the digging to prove it.

Celebrities with hired ghostwriters. I never thought of that but now that I am.. why wouldn’t they? Then they brag about 60k subscribers and making an extra 20k/month after doing nothing.. this is our world…

The other day Dolly Parton showed up on Substack. A day later she was ranked in the top 100 across the entire platform with over 10,000 paid subscribers. She made half a million dollars in a matter of hours without writing a single word...

All of this about numbers! It is not about intelligence/smart or great work. It is all branded movement now. That is know entity. As frustrated as it is people pay for what they know. People pay for what they value. All of this easy money will continue. As sad as it is.... If you could make 20K just to show up that could very hard to turn down. I get the frustration though

Jim Katzaman's avatar

Getting paid millions for doing nothing is also a Clippers contract.

AKcidentalwriter's avatar

makes sense. Everyone is grabbing easy money. Journalism???? That has not existed for decades.

I wonder who is really on this platform!?! AI has become quite realistic at times. We could be talking to AI instead if real people!!

I can only attest that I’m real — at least what passes for it.

Neil D's avatar

As I'm (apparently) living in a simulation, perhaps I shouldn't claim to be real?

Jim Katzaman's avatar

Just be sincere. Once you can fake that, you've got it made.

Haha! You are spot on there 👍

But - no one has true dibs on real reporting. And what is real reporting anyway - most times it is still agenda based reporting, research and writing - for profit. Many could say it's all slop, AI or not. We have CNN and MSNBC and FOX - all who are agenda based and no one agrees with each other anyway - and who ever knew what is truth and fact from lies and fiction - beyond what we can actually see with our own eyes.

What is a real Christian Journalist? Many, billions, see religion as made up fiction anyway - so why is someone surprised that this form of journalism is being challenged? This is 2025 so why are we still rambling on about prophets and deities? The church, many have argued, has also been a money grab, an entity that doesn't care about people or humanity.

And now we have this wolf who thinks he is wise - crying, whining about how is "legitimate" work is no longer as popular and profitable. I didn't know there were rules about who can play in this game. Real news is whatever you want it to be - how have you not learned that by now.

And the nerve of this wolf to call the stuff others write about SLOP. Slop is relative and many see your stuff as testosterone generated slop.

Courageous Lion's avatar

It's so nice to see such judgmental comments made DIRECTLY at the writer. While Wolf makes the effort to expose the game without naming names and pointing his finger. Maybe the fiction that you see is because your life is so void of meaning that you have no other reason to see religion as anything else. I mean even your screen name? COLD LIVER? That says something in itself.

GardenGranny's avatar

“This is 2025 so why are we still rambling on about prophets and deities?” Well, you sound like a bot, an atheist, a fool or a demon. WHY? Don’t you know the reason for the season—-well, it is because God loves us so much that he sent his only begotten son to be our Savior, our redeemer, because otherwise we are doomed. It’s a shame there exist many non-believers. It is not surprising because there is a generation of Americans presently having kids whose parents treated Sundays like any other day, not going to church, mass or synagogue as a family. Now we have 2-3 generations of people living in their phones and other addictions.

God sent the Savior for all of us. The wise wolf has a good point. Christianity is under attack in America just as much as it is in Nigeria. The attackers are destroying much of Europe. I have no desire to return to Brussels or London. God bless America and independent journalists.

BTW my friend’s daughter dies social media for certain celebrities as a job, earns a great living at it, and has lunch weekly with each one to show her what was done and to be paid big money. The celebrity does not care what people think. Maybe some care, but most are laughing on the way to count their money at their tax free foundations that only enrich them and their favorite people, and telling someone what to pack for their next island tropical vacation.

Cold liver's avatar

You go to church sunday to repent for the repeated crimes you commit every other day.

I can most times respect all religions but I will always sleep with one eye open as regards you folk. Yall are the wolves in sheeps clothing.

God doesn’t make mistakes so for you folks to have so much hate in your hearts for blacks, gays, women, native Indians, immigrants - is the height of hypocrisy.

God didn’t send anyone. Men made that crap up. God didn’t write the Torah, Koran, or the bible - men wrote those, in an attempt to control the masses.

God would never, like you men do, and say jesus was born without his parents having sex and he walked on water and his body is bread and his blood is wine…God knows wine like any alcohol is poison and should never be consumed.

God would also never use scare tactics like saying we are doomed and will be sentenced to hell. That too is made up crap by MEN, along with the devil, another man made entity.

Grow up already. What god did create, was life, and life is short and we need to cherish every moment and not instead use it for hate and wars and burning women who men think are witches, or for enslaving people because they are brown, or raping women because they might be weaker - or for touching young boys and girls in the back rooms of your churches…!!!

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

Your posts contradict themselves from one sentence to the next. You say God is real but God didn't send anyone. You say God doesn't make mistakes but everything attributed to God in scripture was made up by men. You say God created life but the devil is a man-made entity. You're arguing that God exists but simultaneously didn't do anything that any religion has ever claimed God did, which means you've invented your own personal theology that conveniently allows you to lecture Christians while believing in some vague deity that agrees with everything you already think.

That's not a coherent worldview. That's just making things up as you go.

You've posted nearly a dozen times on this single article in the last two hours. You show up every day to scream at strangers about how evil Christians are while simultaneously claiming to respect religion. You accuse us of hate while spewing hate in every comment. You don't see the contradiction because you're not thinking clearly.

I'm saying this as plainly as I can: this behavior is not normal. Obsessively commenting on a publication you despise, contradicting yourself constantly, ranting about topics that jump from theology to alcoholism to child abuse to feminism with no logical thread connecting any of it... these are signs that something is wrong.

You need help. Real professional help. A therapist. A psychiatrist. Someone who can actually address whatever is going on in your head. Trolling a Christian newsletter is not therapy. Screaming at strangers online is not healing whatever hurt you.

I genuinely hope you find the help you need. But you need to find it somewhere else.

Courageous Lion's avatar

You know what he needs Wolf? A real experience with the creator of the universe. One that shocks him/her so hard that he/she wakes up from his/her brain dead stupor with a whole different view of life. One that shocks him/her so much that he/she begins to LOVE HIS/HER CREATOR WITH ALL HIS/HER MIND BODY AND SOUL and LOVES HIS/HER NEIGHBOR as Himself/Herself. The problem lies in the loving himself part. I feel that if he/she calls himself/herself something like "cold liver" he/she doesn't' love himself/herself too much. He/she actually hates himself/herself or whatever he/she is so much that the lashing out that is being revealed is a projection of who cold liver is.

Wayne Burden's avatar

WW, Cold Liver is just that… a cold piece of meat. His conscience has been seared and his soul is dead. Like so many today, he HATES anything and anyone that has anything to do with God and Jesus Christ. Why? Because he knows the lifestyle he’s chosen is leading to his destruction, but insists on going down that path because of pride… the original sin BTW. Cold Liver only exists to blaspheme God and his followers… otherwise he has no reason to live. Hell will be absolutely full of Cold Liver type people for all eternity. That’s his choice. Jesus will not force himself on anyone.

Jim Katzaman's avatar

Point taken, but I’ve done my share of wincing of articles, aside from Substack, that are clickbait — over promising, under delivering — often disjointed from headlines. That’s my unbiased view of slop.

Cold liver's avatar

It’s all click bait - everyone, anyone, all of us who presses send is hoping to be seen and have their words read.

Courageous Lion's avatar

I'm having a hard time comprehending your statement. The structure and the meaning that you are trying to covey. And I find you have posted THREE whole articles in what? Two years you've been on here? You have the gall to make comments like you do? "It's all click bait" Speak for yourself. And WTF is "everyone, anyone, all of us who presses send is hoping to be seen and have their words read." supposed to mean? I see why you don't write. YOU CAN'T. Maybe you have a cold liver because you have a cold heart.

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

This person just showed up here the other day and immediately began verbally attacking me and my readers. They are clearly mentally imbalanced.

Cold liver's avatar

I do agree and I am not a fan of the bait and switch posts/articles

Jim Katzaman's avatar

That’s where I would make the distinction between altruistic clickbait and the bait and switch. At least the gruesome New York Post story that followed actually tied to its classic headline: Headless Body Found in Topless Bar.

Mariska Burger's avatar

Very real concern this!

In my country journalists already had a difficult before Covid. Now competing with A.I. It’s very concerning.🙏🏼

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

It makes it nearly impossible to compete. A writer in my niche that I believed was legit told me in chat that he writes 5 articles per day - there is no way humanly possible a single person can write 5 2,000 word essays every single day. He is using AI clearly. It's making it so hard to have our voice heard when 90% of the people on this platform are just in it for the money because they heard people on Substack are making good money teaching other people how to make money on Substack. It's such a generic crapfest of the same AI-generated slop and it makes me sick.

Mariska Burger's avatar

Very sad!

I am not educated enough to converse about the true impact.

However, coincidentally it was a topic of conversation earlier this morning I had, with someone who are knowledgeable about it.

I mentioned someone I know who is a journalist, and that it’s not all that fame and glory, but as a matter of fact, she is struggling. The person I had privilege to talk with, enlightened me about the truth of the struggles of journalists and then also mentioned the appalling rise of A.I. articles, making it hard to find true authentic journalism.

BlueSongstress's avatar

All journalists are struggling.

Treesha's avatar

It's very frustrating honestly but as a reader I decide not to subscribe to paid channels does that work?? Genuinely want help not money and I believe people who want to spread awareness also wants the same. If there's an app that doesn't at all run or promise to make you earn like reading a dictionary or an old book that you just found…it would be an amazing thing I have left instagram and even switched to a search engine called ecosia atleast through which some things are really making a change and not just making the rich richer and poor poorer and destroying nature meanwhile. If this is the case in SUBSTACK I won't mind throwing away my phone like for real no need of it at all… but if somebody initiated a great idea to connect people why not use it for a cause …oof

Andrea Maria Romandini's avatar

AI 🤖 SUCKS!!!! If I don’t write with my own words, it’s not getting published. I’m sorry this is happening. I was hoping this app would be shielded from this crap… but it’s US owned so they don’t care who is on here. I’m reporting anyone posting AI generated content.

Ramona Fortanbary's avatar

I had great reporters who could write five stories in a day. Reporters are designated blue collar workers. We had to pay them for overtime. I was an editor, worked 10-12 hour days. I’ve been a writer for 40 years. I was a journalist in my mid-30s. Started as an editor for Scripps as a copyeditor. Left at managing editor. I knew I was out there to sit in the executive editor’s chair. That job would have made me one the 100 most influential people in Virginia. I’m a subscriber for The Wise Wolf.

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

I got into this game because I thought it was going to be way easier and less stressful than finance and programming. Wow, was I EVER wrong about that!

Ramona Fortanbary's avatar

I hear your sadness. I’m so sorry.

Ramona Fortanbary's avatar

I rose to managing editor for 12 newspapers. Walked away to keep my integrity and stop arguing with snot-nosed J-school grads. It is a slog, man. If you are a real journalist, it is one hell of a slog. But I only made $40,000. I turned back to the federal government, where I was paid $92,000 to supervise just my own damn self and fill the pages of a bi-monthly national magazine for small business owners, SBA employees and state offices of the SBA.

kooderpincher's avatar

It's time to count your blessings. I get the people I want yo listen to including you.

I ignore the rest.

Substack is going to do what all VC financed endeavors do, Go public and lose their relevance.

I still get you.

If you leave because things are getting tough, then I suggest you cross pollinate your audience from other platforms.

Don't burn the loyal followers over an ego driven need to see your star grow. Your audiences is still here. Still listening and you're thinking of abandoning them. What does that say about you?

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

What are you even talking about? I am not trying to 'see my star grow'. With all my social media accounts combined, I have almost 1 million followers across a dozen networks. If I wanted to churn out ai slop garbage, I could be making $10,000 a day. You are missing the entire point here and I don't think you belong on this publication if you are going to defend mediocrity.

kooderpincher's avatar

Who's mediocrity are you referring to? I think you misunderstand my post.

Just keep writing for your followers. That is why you started, you have something important to say. That's what this place is about.

If you decry what's going on, instead of practicing attraction not promotion, you will lose what you have. Have you forgotten how to stay blessed?

You cannot control the larger machinations of Substack. Only what you choose to do with it. Complaining does not improve the situation.

You have so many inspired writings. While you complained, the opportunity to attract more like minds, this time, is lost.

Scott Forester's avatar

Very good advice for anyone. Thanks for sharing.

Ramona Fortanbary's avatar

If the worst happens, I could help out. Every writer, every reporter, needs an editor.

Ramona Fortanbary's avatar

We writers are not hugely paid, unless and until we write a best seller. The man you just responded to is ignorant about real journalism. I am an incredible editor. I was medically retired as the senior writer-editor for the U.S. Small Business Administration. I was a copyeditor and, later, supervised a team of copyeditors. Because, I’m deemed disabled, I can’t earn more than $23,000 a year until I reach my full retirement age.

Dude, get off my fucking newsletter you slop halfwit. You are so damn talentless that you don't even know how to properly use ChatGPT and now you are on here trying to steal my subscribers?

You are such a cringe piece of vermin that I am sitting here at 4am laughing at what a pathetic, lowlife you are.

You honestly sound like you are jealous that I actually have some real reach and real pull online BECAUSE I PUT THE WORK IN TO GET IT OVER 20 YEARS.

You weren't 'creating' anything before ChatGPT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO TALENT.

You can't even write a decent prompt to hide the fact this is the free ChatGPT basic bitch slop output. What are you building over there? A few dozen AI slop articles a week?

I could code a pipeline in a day that would create 100 Substack accounts, populate the graphics, write 50 articles based on whatever is trending in Google that day, post them all automatically, and send out 10,000 bots to like, share, comment etc to artificially boost my engagement metrics and make a million dollars this year if I wanted to - but that is not what we DO here on The Wise Wolf. This is REAL JOURNALISM some some AI slopfest for some talentless hack to try and poach subscribers for his rinky dink mental diarrhea blatherings about why he is talented even if everything he does is ChatGPT output.

You are a joke dude.

Money. Was and Is. The Root of All Evil 😈

Linden's avatar

Actually, it's the LOVE OF MONEY. Money is just a tool, to be used for good or evil. I know instinctively if I get a modest financial windfall, that it's probably not for me to spend primarily on myself. It's there for God to use me (wisely) to help someone else

So, although I don't need another subscription, that I could support Wise Wolf, & that it was sowing into good ground. It's such a pleasure to be able to do that!

Tom Ward's avatar

Actually it is, The love of money is A root of evil.

Money is not bad, in and of itself. Just as a gun or a knife are not bad, in and of themselves. It is the intend of the person holding them that can be bad, or good. God actually talks a whole lot about money in the Bible. It is a common subject and God does not condemn money. He DOES condemn bad intent, in using money.

So it is the love of money. It is A root. And it is not the root of ALL evil.

I notice Leftists love to misuse this scripture. Leftists also love to misuse the scriptures about judgement. Leftists lean heavily into Satan.

Lucas, Discernment Specialist's avatar

The globalists have done this to every site imaginable, Substack was just the final nail in the coffin.

beth williams's avatar

Look up migardener.com. His (Luke’s his real name) recent youtube contribution mirrors your experience exactly. (He teaches sustainable gardening from Michigan and has a fast-growing seed/nursery business for non-patented plant material.) He’s also talked with other real origination creators and they’re all losing up to 90% of their viewership to ai slop. I consider this blitz of ai trash to be like little aluminum particles being released into the air to block the ability of viewers to “tune in” their own real preferences. It’s not about just the substacks making easy money, it’s much worse than that. It’s meant to destroy the communities developing around real survival and sustainable information outlets. It’s not just brain washing, it’s designed to make the human race dumber and weaker every day that goes by. Television, when it first came out, was pitching to an IQ of about 120 back in the 1940’s New York City viewership. The average Harvard graduate had an IQ of about 124. So elites informing the elites. Every decade since, the content has dumbed down to now, when the average tv offering is geared to about 4th grade reading level and an IQ in the low 80’s range. Deliberate dumbing down, making sharper minds duller. This is radical social manipulation by a small subset of elites to eliminate their educated and intelligent and humane competition. Almost all my favorite geopolitical, philosophical, sustainable living venues have effectively disappeared from the algorythm being fed to me for about three months. This is warfare, not just simple greed. I really don’t know how to defend against this literal flood of shit-loaded dross overflowing the banks of the internet river stream. It is meant to drown us, to destroy the human sub-communities developing across the world who have used the internet to reach each other. It is the lastest of takeovers of media that’s been underway since nearly all the independent newpapers at the county and town and local level were bought up in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Since then, it’s the magazines (New Republic being one of the first), then local radio, then Taft-Hartley anti-trust laws destroyed, Citizens United unlimited secret corporate political corruption, to newspaper syndacats, publishing houses, bookstores, major network and movie studio connsolidation. Preaching to the choir, I know, BUT what the hell can we do? I am being tempted to isolate from the polluted internet and just squat on my half acre mini homestead in the mountains with my deep well, septic tank, small solar energy backup and count on the power and cell phone not going off too often. But what will the 85% of the population do who are totally dependent on banks, jobs, power grids, schools, etc., to survive day to day? I am joining up on your site. Literally saw your feed for the first time a couple days ago, which, if I were paranoid, would suggest an algorythm feed of some sort, huh?

Oh, and to put the icing on the cake, the algorythm started dumping a relentless stream of live bloggers effectively farting, picking-their-nose level of sharing, guess an IQ of about 75. Just last night. A new low. Meant to do two things I think: 1) make us think AI production is stupid and incompetent, therefore no real threat as propaganda; and 2) forwarding the picture of a degraded population of humanity (narcisists) who are starving for attention. Soul scorching for those of us who want humanity and all life on Earth to thrive. You can call me at (641) 919-1439 if you’d like to talk to a human being with shared values. I’ve decided to not be afraid. I’m 85. “Come and get me!” Old Beth

Dude get off my newsletter. I am not reading your ChatGPT-generated, AI slop comments or your slop articles. You are not a writer. You are not even a 'prompt engineer'. You are the most basic form of talentless vermin that is nothing more than a parasite that is feeding off the bleed of real creators that worked for years to hone their craft. You just showed up and start typing 'ChatGPT write me something' and now call yourself something you are clearly NOT. It's like a person that owns a player piano claiming they are a pianist.

I know more about Large Language Models and matrix math calculations than you will EVER know. I have been writing code for 20+ years. I have two 24GB Tesla P40 data center gpus plugged into a dual xeon work station that I built myself running a 40 billion parameter, customized, uncensored large language model that I trained myself. You are acting like you know something that I don't when we don't even compare.

You aren't even capable enough to write a decent prompt to hide the fact this is basic bitch ai slop output.

Dude you are such an insufferable idiot.

I am a PROGRAMMER. I used AI to error-check PROGRAMS. You go 'Hey ChatGPT I am a talentless hack living in my mother's basement and want to pretend I am a journalist! Write me an article and make me a thumbnail so I can larp as someone with some modicum of talent'. Then you copy paste publish that dumpster fire meltdown without even reading it and then come onto other people's publications and use ChatGPT to write more slop comments. You sound like a fucking idiot Keith.

No Beth - he doesn't. That wasn't 'him' writing that. That was ChatGPT.

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

I banned this guy for spamming hundreds of comments arguing that AI slop is 'real writing' and ai slop generated thumbnails are 'real art'. He got so angry over being told he is a ChatGPT slop jockey with no talent that he has for the last 5 hours straight been commenting on a half dozen of my articles trying to argue that because he can type a prompt into ChatGPT that he is a real 'creator' now.

I make EVERYTHING on my publication. I do the research (with AI augmentation to speed it up), write the outline, write the rough draft, pass it off to Lily for final rewrites if she is available for work (she is in college, school first, work second I always tell her), and then while she is doing the final draft edits - I create the thumbnail graphics myself. I am an actual 'creator' that spent DECADES learning how to do this stuff. This guy spent 2 minutes signing up for ChatGPT and now thinks we are 'equals'.

I never thought I would subscribe to anyone on substack. I'm a single mom with 2 kids and little support. However, I have not found any other substack quite like yours. Just like you said, every source of information has been taken over by AI junk. But it is also brimming with lost souls who have not yet, and maybe never will, come to know our Lord and Savior. It's obvious to me we are living in the last days. I want to receive my information from someone who knows Jesus, the truth, the light, the way. I don't have much to give. But I was more than happy to cancel my Netflix account 🙃 so I could afford to support your army of Christ following truth seekers! ✝️🙏

What is a real Christian Journalist? Many, billions, see religion as made up fiction anyway - so why is someone surprised that this form of journalism is being challenged? This is 2025 so why are we still rambling on about prophets and deities? The church, many have argued, has also been a money grab, an entity that doesn't care about people or humanity.

And now we have this wolf who thinks he is wise - crying, whining about how is "legitimate" work is no longer as popular and profitable. I didn't know there were rules about who can play in this game. Real news is whatever you want it to be - how have you not learned that by now.

And the nerve of this wolf to call the stuff others write about SLOP. Slop is relative and many see your stuff as testosterone generated slop.

Cold liver is an appropriate name for you.

What is "cold liver"? Leo AI answer: Cold liver in the context of liver disease, particularly cirrhosis, individuals often report feeling persistently cold. This is attributed to the liver's reduced ability to generate body heat, as it is responsible for approximately 20% of the body's total heat production. When liver function is impaired, the body's thermoregulation is compromised, leading to a sensation of coldness despite normal environmental temperatures. This is further exacerbated by muscle loss due to the liver's inability to produce sufficient amino acids for protein synthesis.

Maybe too much alcohol took effect. And influenced the moniker that was picked. Sorry Wolf...sometimes I resort to AI because now days the "normal" search engines all seem to be following AI too.

There is nothing wrong with using it in that way. It’s when you are outsourcing your brain to the tool, you are no longer building the house. The hammer is building it and eventually the hammer will be living in it too.

In this world of fake everything, it is a breath of fresh air to have the opportunity to read and contemplate the words coming from your and Lilly’s writing. Keep up the good work…no , exceptional work. To God be the glory.

But - no one has true dibs on real reporting. And what is real reporting anyway - most times it is still agenda based reporting, research and writing - for profit.

Your reply reeks of the A/I slop that the wolf spoke of. Enter through the narrow gate for wide is the gate that leads to destruction and many enter there. You, sir, are on the wrong road. I pray that your eyes will be opened.

Cold liver's avatar

There is only one road. The road that doesn’t discriminate. The road that is without racism, sexism, hate of gay and trans people. God doesn’t make mistakes so all who are alive and exist are so because god wanted them to be alive and exist.

And then we have the definitions of the four that you would like to see the world without. What, may I ask is YOUR definition of them? Is dislike the same as hate? I have no problem with someone's race. I do have a problem with people who are assholes no matter what color their skin may be. I 'm not sure what you mean by sexism? As for gay? I myself could care less what someone does in their own bedroom. As for trans? I feel sorry for someone who doesn't understand what sex they are. Hormones and removal of body parts doesn't change XY or XX . Mental issues should be treated as mental issues. And my understanding with my life's experiences is that God doesn't hate anyone of us. He loves us NO MATTER WHAT.

Don't be silly. We ALL "discriminate", we choose between real & fake, valuable and trash, true compassion & sterile sanctimony (your chosen milieu,, as a leftist).

Discrimination is the choosing of what is excellent, of good & enduring quality, beneficial for proper growth & development, truth vs. lies. It is a duty of people to learn how to choose, encourage, and govern such things.

I'm sorry that you have reduced your world to such a shallow purpose, to want to choose perversions & distortions of true goodness, rather than seek the good & learn to support it. It will leave you very empty.

You blew it out of the ball park, brother!... Needed to be said and written.

Now, I know for a fact that even mainstream news outlets and reputable newsletters associated with other independent journalists use AI generated content. Sad but true!

Substack and other careless publishers must have competition from a site producing only authentic writing such as The Wise Wolf.

I have no clue what it would take for you to gather a group in similar circumstances as you to set up your own site for authentic writers, but it must be done.

It will work.

Say goodbye to Substack!

Courageous Lion's avatar

I know I'd say goodbye. If GAB had the same format, I'd be long gone.

Yes, thank you for writing this.

I feel your pain, not that I’m a journalist, a programmer or anything like that . In the sense that Ai will be used for some of the worst things like destroying real God given gifts and talents and replacing real authentic journalism which the MSM is far from , that’s for another time. What makes me angry and sad at the same time is that this is happening more and more, I listened on the radio to a radio host saying how great an Ai piece of music was declaring it better than the real artists work. This just shows me that given time where will the real creativity come from , will it be more A1 Slop . It must be so hard to keep going but I suppose for you is the driving force that You do not want to go back to a career that you did not line. Also you want to do right by the young lady who is working alongside you. Unfortunately I can’t pay subscribe right now but I will share especially if it shes a light on this corrupt Ai slop. Keep going , nothing that came easy was ever worth having.🙏🏽❤️

I only follow legit writers. Well done for speaking up, Substack is a great space to find real news. It matters all right. Truth matters. The Leftists are laughing. Communism sucks. Keep on kickinitt!!!

Your articles are powerful. Even when I don’t agree with everything you write, I truly appreciate how you make me think. Please keep writing!

Wow!!! Okay. Passionate response deserves respect, appreciation and consideration.

Also informative. I now delete, unread, the product of any source with too frequent and prolific postings.

I share everything I read of your work. Appreciate your articles.i worked with a few Artists at one time when I was a technical coordinator. I also used to carve and paint realistic birds and animals, takes hrs upon hrs detailing. So in short yes I hate AI garbage as well!
