I am starting to think that most of the stuff that gets awards at the Novel ( or Oscars ) level is at best mediocre. By comparison, I wouldn't have a problem telling people to read Sapkowski in original the same way I would argue that the best way to read Pratchett or Adams is in original. That is how good it is ( and translations for either are not bad at all ). Otoh, maybe her creations are not intended for a person like me. Anyway, I somehow doubt the denial from her as sincere. Not that it changes much.

Oh, you doubt her? Say more. Why do you doubt her? Because of her long history of using AI to generate her previous work? Which of those did you like least?

    Is it that you don't like her style? What about her style don't you like and what about it makes you think she's lying about how she uses AI?

      :D We can play this game of 20 questions, but why are you so intent on approaching this rhetorical framework? I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I am curious as to what you are trying to do. Note 'trying'; I accept you are prolific poster here:P

> I am starting to think that most of the stuff that gets awards at the Novel ( or Oscars ) level is at best mediocre. Just skimming Oscars for what I know (music), your claim doesn't hold up. Ludwig Göransson won Best Original Score for Sinners last year. Have you heard that score, or any of his music? He had a friggin' chorus of plastic recorders playing a Baroque dance at the end of one of the Mandalorian episodes. (Who else is doing stuff like that?) Maybe you personally prefer other film composers, but calling his output mediocre isn't accurate. BTW-- since this is off the top of my head I'd bet it took me less time and effort to dispute your claim. If so, I also broke Brandolini's Law here which was fun (and easy!).
