Spines’ pitch is heavy on resentment-based marketing: “… you will receive the feedback you so long for from the publishing world: a personal touch.”

holy shit. I learned a new term today (resentment-based marketing) and I’m fascinated by how this could possibly work

@self "You will receive the feedback you so long for … from a LLM that will generate a plausible-sounding critique of a book that may or may not resemble the one you wrote.”

They should really market this as the perfect gift for the guy who already has an AI girlfriend.
