On this episode, we discuss the George RR Martin Worldcon incident, and wonder if fans are growing too entitled when it comes to expectations from authors. Plus, we look at Mark Lawrence's AI vs human authors experiment and discuss the results and what it means for authors, plus as a book with admitted AI content wins a prestigious award, we wonder what it means for the future of writing.
