Let’s not forget, he’s still probably bitter that he couldn’t finish many animated shows as well. He’s still has that Jayce and the Wheel Warriors movie script in his house, he left The Real Ghostbusters, most likely because of a consultancy firm called Q5(consultancy firm, sound familiar?), and couldn’t finish Babylon 5. And just because a consultancy firm ruined a show, doesn’t mean he takes in out on Christians like you and me. It’s shocking that J. Michael Straczynski became bitter, and a Woke fanatic.
JMS is a good screenwriter. B5 was, in my opinion, excellent. If he had wanted to, he could have taken his screenwriting for Crusaders and made them into books and completed his project that way.
Indeed. I started following JdA because of his takes on current media, and his experiences with cancel culture, but decided not to buy any of his fiction after finding out he has AI write them for him (and is oddly proud of it). If he's also using AI for his commentary and reviews, then that's off the menu as well.
"the irony is that an AI wrote this response to it"
Stopped reading right there. AI is theft, plagiarism, and makes the people who use it measurably dumber.

JMS made greatness in Babylon 5, and lots of other stuff, not going to take that away from him just because he caught a case of TDS. And he's right. I've seen AI writing. Lots of it. This idea that AI will take art away from humans is silly. AI writing will always be derivative pablum, "good enough." But I would never buy an AI generated story. I won't take one for free, either. Time is limited and I won't waste mine on AI slop.

All of those can get done for free with AI in like 2 years.
He finished the five year run of B5. It was Crusaders that he couldn't finish.

I'll never understand why he didn't.
So if AI wrote this article, why should I ever read a Jon del Arroz or Vox Day book or article ever again? What do we need you for anymore?

Did you use AI then? Or is it not possible for you to get any dumber?

I prefer AI to get Holographic (Pyrokinesis or Cold Fusion). Then they will panic.
"Ninety percent of everything" was trash long before AI came along (or, for that matter, before Sturgeon announced it).
I am quitting internet writers forums right and left over the constant whining about AI. What a bunch of babies!
