It is disappointing when other writers do this, especially when they claim to know the harm of this tech and then just shrug and participate. I knew all I needed to know when the two instigators likened the project to "those Hogwarts newspapers."

It's going to be both sad and slightly Schadenfreudistic to see their shock and surprise when someone uses their AI voices to make them seem to say some extremely awful things.

How is it "an AI powered chatbot" if it's just a set of links to the various statements the writers actually made in an interview? My understanding of the article is that these writers recorded 20 hours of commentary on each book and the books are annotated with links to bits of that commentary.

I feel like a lot of us are well-practiced in wrestling with this feeling, letting people go and moving onto other things. It’s a mundane bummer.
