One of our team’s core values is trust. To us, this means that we strive to always be honest, forthright, and dependable, both in our content and its delivery. We are known both for our taste and for our reliability, as we make good stuff that celebrates the written word and the people who create the books we love to read. To that end, we’d like you to know our recommendations on Modern Mrs Darcy and What Should I Read Next? are and always have been 100% human-selected and all descriptions are original. Our team does not use generative AI (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini), period—not to create book descriptions, blog post introductions, or anything else. We don’t use algorithms or digital tools to choose books for our guests on What Should I Read Next? or to create our book lists and recommendations. All work is our own. Additionally, because of our commitment to these values, we will never knowingly publicize or market AI-generated books.
We work hard to create good stuff that you enjoy reading and listening to, and we ask that you respect the work that went into it: our time, energy, effort, and financial investment. We hope you can understand why we get a little salty when our work is copied or misused, whether that’s by obvious plagiarism or being fed for free to Large Learning Models (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini). We would be grateful if you would please refrain from any action that results in our work being used for AI training.
