Mychal Threets, the new host of Reading Rainbow, calls out Barnes & Noble for having no problem selling AI-written books

one more reason to hit up a used book store instead

I have been pitching my book everywhere and getting ghosted left and right, and yet when i check the market so many books are just AI slop. It’s killing my will to write, and that’s saying something because writing had literally kept me alive at some point in my life.

Omg the new reading rainbow guy is that soft spoken angel from tik tok?! 😭 All he ever used his platform for was promoting the public library and discussing ways to be inclusive (like the use of quiet rooms for people with Autism as one example)

Sometimes, in the middle of the absolute nonsense going on in the world, I look at people like this getting a well deserved platform for the next generation to learn from and I get a little teary eyed with hope.
