Absolutely phenomenal! This should be required reading for every human and gives me hope for a future beyond AI Hype (and hope for greater light being shed on all its unethical practices).

very recently. I've been getting much more active on goodreads the last few weeks, as I anticipate using it quite frequently once I'm out of school and have real time on my hands to read. (I've been working on this Best American Short Stories book for months!)

Great to see you active on the site today. Do you think that this will be a recurring thing, or are you limiting yourself to yearly visits?;)
