“This essay is everything I want an essay to be—funny, heartfelt, incisive … This gave me chills, enraged me, and made me eager to stick to my writing guns and see it through.”

“This is a beautifully written and important essay. I sincerely hope that Jerry wins this fight.”

“Jerry Falade has a brilliant essay over at Publishing Confidential…”

“This is a brilliant rebuttal from Jerry Falade. … I look forward to reading his book.”

“Thank you for sharing Jerry’s story. I’m not familiar with his work but reading this article as a Yoruba woman made me smile.”

“Jerry Falade's essay on AI in literary writing and the witch hunts is really good.”

“His voice deserves to be heard”

“This is the clearest account I've read of why detection can't carry the weight being put on it.”

“It was an absolute pleasure to read Jerry Falade's essay.”

“Fascinating and thoughtful. I hope he prospers and can get past this difficult time. As a mystery reader, I look forward to reading his book.”

“Very powerful indictment of the absurd times in which we live. Wishing him the best. And thanks for publishing it.”

“Thank you for sharing his insightful and educational essay. He raises so many important points here, asks the tough questions, and opens up space to explore all the angles of how AI is changing us.”

“Love this piece so much. We must all stay brave and keep writing. Human creativity will always prevail despite the witch hunt.”

“From the wonderful writing displayed in this essay, had he used AI assistance, he wouldn't have sounded as intelligent.”

“Thank you for providing a platform for his voice. … I, for one, can't wait to read his work.”

“Thank you, Jerry. I cannot wait to read your book.”

“Falade’s most important contribution is cultural. … Machine imitation becomes evidence against the thing being imitated.”

“When unfamiliar style gets treated as proof, the safest writing starts to become the flattest writing. That is a bad trade for books and for readers.”

“Falade could make millions self publishing through Amazon KDP. The multi-million dollar deal wasn't a gift they were going to bestow on him, it was merely a fraction of the money they would be making on his work.”

“Terrific piece, so glad to hear Jerry's side of the story.”

“Wow! What a scoop. It's great to hear his side of story finally.”

“As Falade says, we have spent our lives learning this craft of writing. The machines learned from us, and now they are turning on us to claim that WE, the teachers, have used their AI assistance to write our books? How dare they!”

“Fr though, this kind of witch hunting disproportionately targets people of color and is mobilized by racist groups.”

“Congrats on your new agent and good luck with your book. I hope Femi gets away with it...”

“Jerry, Thank you for speaking out! … I wish you an abundance of success as you navigate these stormy waters.”

“Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm happy you emerged stronger after the whole traumatizing incident.”

“Thank you for getting this out there. The idea that our human work will be arbitrated by a 'journalist' without our permission makes me sick, along with our human work being judged for its possible humanity by an AI.”

“Thank you for sharing Jerry's side of the story.”

“…so glad to hear the author was able to get his bearings and a new agent.”

“As a writer whose English is a third language I can relate to this.”

“Great essay! Thank you for sharing. :)”

“I’m angry at all that Mr. Falade has had to endure this insanity and sad for all the authors who will continue to be falsely accused of using AI. Thank you for writing this article.”

“Thank you for sharing your story and I hope you get justice.”

“Thank you for being a place for Jerry to tell his side of the story. I hope he keeps fighting for his work!”

“So glad you published this! What if we lived in a world where writing was judged not on its source, but its merit?”

“No one should lose his/her career on a suspicion. Whether the authors accused are guilty or innocent, there should be some cold, hard facts presented, so that no one is publicly humiliated based on falsehoods.”

“Wishing you all the best my brother. Daalụ 🤎”

“I hope Jerry joins the rest of us in the indie space where we've decided not to allow the gatekeepers to determine our success!”
