I know some people have seen the news recently and may be doubtful of it. To the uninformed, Google Docs has started using AI to find “inappropriate” and “problematic” content, scraping your documents and deleting it. I know some people are unsure if this is real or think this is not going to affect them.
I regret to inform you that this is real.
As I was on a call with some writers and we were moving our documents as a precautionary measure, one person discovered entire pages missing that they did not delete themselves. This is happening to us, it’s not a hoax or a rumor, it’s happening right now. You need to move everything if you want to preserve it.
If you’re a writer with writer mutuals, please reblog this so they know. I rarely write on Google Docs anymore, but I started my fanfics on there, and I would be devastated if I lost works more than ten years old because people decided marketing appeal is more important than creative freedom.
#recently had a conversation with a therapist about how education is (potentially, if you do it right) the front end trauma prevention portion of their work, which is the clean up, post trauma work.
#and that’s why I worked in education #and they said ‘ohhhhhhhh’
#and maybe there’s still a pathway for them to help when they are burned out on the therapy end.
