SFWA Launches, Aborts LLM Tools Nebula Rule Change on Same Day - File 770

What a mess that is.

Today, Panzer found an interesting post at the File 770 site. The post is about writers using LLMs in their writing process.

 

According to Mike Glyer's post, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) made a new rules announcement, got some writers push-back and re-wrote the rules.

 

Panzer says, "Be sure to read the "Comments" section also."

 

Note:This is a medium length post; but, if you read the "Comments" too, it becomes a long post. You decide what to bring to snack on.
