 WES SAYS SIT DOWN: A PSA FOR THE “AI IN BOOKS” COMPLAINERS

Let’s get one thing real fucking clear.

If you’re one of the people bitching about authors using AI in their books, the first thing I want you to do is grab your phone and throw it directly in the trash.

Why?

Because your phone runs on AI.

Not some of it. Not part of it. All of it.

Still here? Didn’t toss the phone?

Cool—then take Google off your home screen.

Because guess what? Google is AI.

So is Grammarly. So is Microsoft Word’s spelling checker.

So is every voice-to-text app, every autocorrect, every map telling your lost ass how to get to Starbucks.

See the problem?

It’s not that AI is evil—it’s that people don’t know how to fucking use it.

I don’t ask AI to write my books.

Never have. Never will.

But I damn sure use it to sharpen them. I use it to research, to clean up my mess, to cross-check my rage against facts before I publish it in ink. I use it like any tool: with precision, control, and intent.

AI doesn’t write my heart.

It just makes sure I don’t misspell it.

So unless you’re typing your next manifesto on a typewriter, mailing it to a human-only editor, and promoting it with smoke signals, kindly…

🖕🏻Stop pretending you’re “pure.”

🖕🏻Stop gatekeeping tech you benefit from every damn day.

🖕🏻And stop talking shit until you’re ready to live without it.

Use the tool or don’t.

Just don’t lie about what your hands are touching while you do.
