Nebula Awards Yelled at Until They Ban Use of AI by Nominees

Make something people want to spend their time with. Disregard awards.

The other day I was using an LLM for worldbuilding. It helped me design a theoretical world that would be orbitally locked to the sun but still have habitable conditions. Then you can work out characteristics like typical windspeed, crop conditions, how shadows behave, etc.

I'm all for banning LLMs from writing prose. But the endless pearl clutching about LLMs is driving me insane. It's a really good research tool! It does things no other resource can. It can aid creativity.

People insisting on these carpet bans on LLMs are being unrealistic. You can not go back to a world before Google or Wikipedia exist either.
