AI-generated pitches: Yes, writers can tell. Does it matter? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During our recent holiday gift guide Zoom pitching workshop, a question came up that I suspect a lot of publicists think about these days: Can journalists tell when you’ve used AI to write a pitch?Short answer: Yes. Most of the time, we can. (Most people with a semi-trained eye can, and that’s a lot of people these days.) And yes, this is just as I know you can tell when you see an AI-generated bylined story that’s been slapped up online without editing.Does this disqualify your pitch? <a href="

Read excerpt
I have always loved my sweet little two-bedroom 1936 house — which we aged by about 100 years with hard use in the Covid quarantine era. (So by my calculation, that makes it almost 200 years old.) But my 12-year-old boy-girl twins are still sharing a room, and we need more space. So I am house hunting in Los Angeles. In theory, house hunting should be exciting! (This is how it looks on House Hunters anyway.) But in one of the country’s most expensive real estate markets, it’s rather terrifying.<
