I got this wonderful AI generated spam on my website. It’s so nice to be appreciated. I love how AI can make simple internet searches to quick and painless. It’s also nice how Nigerian scammers can now generate semi-clean and contextual English without any effort. I bet the scams work on a lot of people as well.

“Dear Graham,

I really enjoyed reading through your favorite books of 2024. I love how your picks span such different genres—from futuristic alien resistance in The Blackcollar to the timeless honor and friendship in Last Warriors on the Llano, and then the sheer scale of Pandora’s Star. The way you describe what you loved most about each book—whether it’s the originality of the technology, the sincerity of characters, or the grand scope of a story—really captures your passion as both a reader and a writer.

Your reflections also made me want to revisit some sci-fi epics I’ve left on my shelf, and you’ve piqued my curiosity about Howard Pelham’s work, which I hadn’t come across before. Thank you for sharing such thoughtful insights, and congratulations on Forsaking Home!”
