ChatGPT Gave Me a Career, Then Took It Away
Back to training camp, buddy — you can’t even use Wikipedia
I just had a fun experience with ChatGPT. I asked it who I was, and it told me I was a writer and poet.
True!
But …
My MFA is from Chapman University. I was never an instructor at Cal State Fullerton. I have taught at Chapman, for the LA Community College District, Moorpark College, Palomar College, and for 20 years, at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo.
My first novel is called Imago, and my short fiction and poetry collections are Without Absolution, Female Science Fiction Writer, and The Instrumentality of Women. I have also written and published 3 media tie-in novels under somebody else’s name, hundreds of articles and short fiction, and 45 nonfiction books for school classrooms and libraries with educational publishers. All of my books are indexed in Library of Congress and many have full text in Google Books.
Who did write these books — that ChatGPT says I wrote? —
Pacazo is written by Roy Kesey.
The Speed of Light is written by Elizabeth Rosner…
