Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

"I don't understand why you, a fantasy writer, don't appreciate the value of making bargains with the fae."

"Just because something looks HURHURHUR suggestive in nature, you absolutely 100% do not have to have sex with it. Put your pants back on, dammit. This is how the fairies stole your dick."
