How an AI-generated summer reading list got published in major newspapers Newspapers around the country, including the Chicago Sun-Times and at least one edition of The Philadelphia Inquirer, published a syndicated book list featuring made-up books by famous authors.

Somehow I missed this story. Maybe they used AI to quality check the AI list. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜’πŸ˜­

Imposter syndrome? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Eric Blair, aka George Orwell, let himself become so consumed by self doubt when writing his first book, he gave it to a friend to trash it. Thankfully for us, Mabel Fierz did just the opposite - she found him an agent! #BookSky #SupportAuthors

A herd of terrified cows runs through dust in the foreground while above their heads against a blue sky you see the underside of a huge diamondback rattlesnake dragon spreading its wings over the herd with a cowgirl on a saddle on its back spinning a rope above her head

I took @abigbat.bsky.social β€˜s illustration workshop over the past couple months to try to level up my painting game. It was a great experience, well worth checking out. Here’s my final, a cattle wrangler on her diamondback mount

Like many authors in the 50s, Frank Herbert began in sci-fi magazines. Even Dune was first published in 8 parts! Despite this, nearly 20 book publishers rejected the epic. Finally, editor Sterling Lanier of Chilton Book Company (known for auto manuals) snapped it up. That was 60 years ago! #BookSky

Until recently, I would have said Super Mario RPG. I think now I'd have to say Megaman Legends.
