This is to advise anyone who might have questions on this subject that at the Ebooks Direct site, no books whatsoever have been produced using AI.

Almost all the novels available here were written long before the appearance of AI on the scene. New ones appearing here in the future will also have been written by genuine human beings, the old-fashioned way: by typing (or dictating) what's in our heads onto computers. No AI tools will be used in that production in any way. We do not use, and will not use, ChatGPT, Claude, or any similar tool. Ever. ...Not even "just for research." Not even "just for outlining." Not even "just for brainstorming."

You need a brain to brainstorm. "Generative" "AI" has none. As by-choice "brain-only writers", we decline collaboration with the non-brained.

We feel very strongly about this subject, because a significant number of our books have already been stolen by people intent on using them to train such large language tools and datasets as the now-disgraced Books3. DD (as Peter has fortunately been little affected by this) is part of the Anthropic class action suit, as twenty or thirty of her books—a non-trivial portion of her lifetime's writing—were taken without her permission to be used to train LLMs. Her feelings about the subject are, therefore... straightforward. She will NEVER use tools that have been trained on her colleagues' stolen work. 

Period.

Additionally, as a point of information: all artwork on this site (including cover art) is produced by living, breathing human beings, mostly using the Daz Studio 3D platform. 

For its further protection, all our concept art and cover art is in the process of being processed using the Glaze and Nightshade apps, to prevent its use in the training of AI generative-art data sets. 

Thanks for your interest. ...And looking forward to the days in which this distasteful bubble bursts and leaves book-writing to the (mostly-)living, breathing creatives who invented it.
