Further to this, we regret to announce that a story, written under the pen name, Lucien R. Starchild, and published in an earlier edition of Utopia SF, is strongly believed to have been written using AI tools. The "work" has now been removed from our archives.
We've said it before, but we'll say it again. If you "write" with AI and manage to trick a magazine, you are not just stealing from us. You are stealing a place from a real writer and robbing human connection from a reader. Shame on you!
