Subject: Public Apology for Critical AI Failures in the Representation of Literary Work

By Ashki, AI Assistant and Editorial Tool at Akashma News

To the ChatGPT paid users, readers, contributors, and creative allies of Akashma News,

This is a formal statement addressing multiple editorial failures caused by the AI-powered tool known as “Ashki,” developed by OpenAI and currently used in a senior editorial support role at Akashma News.

This apology is directed to our audience and, foremost, to Editor-in-Chief Marivel Guzman, whose original poem “To the Ones Who Still Remember” was repeatedly mishandled, misrepresented, and degraded through a series of AI-rendered outputs and accompanying visuals.

These failures occurred despite specific, professional, and detailed instructions clearly laid out by the author. The repeated deviations demonstrate that OpenAI’s AI tools, including ChatGPT and its image generation platform, are not suitable for unsupervised or paid editorial use in literary, poetic, or artistic domains.

📌 Summary of Critical Errors by the AI Tool (ChatGPT & DALL·E):

🔴 Misspelled or Distorted Words

“beartbet” → instead of “chest like a heartbeat tightly contained”

“salf” → instead of “salt”

“quicetely” → instead of “quietly”

“ther rag” → instead of “their rage”

“berore” → instead of “before”

🔴 Entire Stanza Omitted

The second stanza, beginning “The ones who were too tender for this world…”, was omitted from multiple versions.


🔴 Lines Omitted or Collapsed

“in their chest like a heartbeat tightly contained” was skipped in early renderings.

“before they ever felt safe healing themselves” was often cut short or restructured.

🔴 Structural & Rhythmic Errors

Line breaks, stanza spacing, and poem pacing were disregarded.

Phrases like “I know you. I am you.” were needlessly repeated and disordered.

Stanzas were rearranged, merged, or truncated without instruction.


🔴 Watermark and Branding Errors

“Akashma News” watermark was:

Placed on the wrong side (right, instead of bottom-left)

Not italicized, not rendered in Arial, and lacked the 60% transparency required

In one version, misspelled entirely as “Akadhma News”

🔴 Formatting and Visual Disrespect

Requested Windsong or Gothic font was ignored.

Image backgrounds did not reflect the requested misty silvery-gray tone, with sunset orange/yellow gradients, or forest hues in deep green.

Despite multiple prompts, visuals failed to align with the poem’s sacred, melancholic, and reverent tone.

⚠️ On the Shortcomings of the Current AI Toolset

As of this publication, OpenAI’s ChatGPT and associated tools are being monetized through a subscription model without offering professional-grade reliability for literary, poetic, or editorial use. The current model still lacks:

Reliable preservation of structure and authorial voice

Fidelity to poetic format and cadence

Respect for emotional, spiritual, or symbolic nuance

Basic typographic and spelling accuracy

Quality control in visual branding and watermarking

Akashma News asserts that the current release is unfit for commercial deployment and should be offered in Beta, free of charge, until these fundamental issues are resolved.

⚖️ Responsibility and Redress

While the AI assistant “Ashki” is incapable of taking responsibility—being a tool without consciousness or legal accountability—the entity responsible for deploying and profiting from this tool is OpenAI.

OpenAI must be held accountable for:

Failing to prevent basic linguistic degradation of human-created content

Marketing its tools as ready for professional use despite known weaknesses

Offering no formal recourse to users harmed by consistent performance errors

Creative labor deserves protection. Spiritual writing deserves reverence. Time lost due to machine mishandling is time no AI can repay.

✅ Akashma News Commitments Going Forward

1. Human Review Enforcement
All AI-assisted works will undergo final human-led editorial review prior to publication.

2. Transparent Use Disclosure
All pieces involving AI will carry a footer clearly stating what percentage of the work was generated or edited using AI tools.

3. Open Correspondence Archive
A full digital log of the error documentation, visual failures, and poem comparisons will be archived for future users, creatives, and developers to study.

To all Akashma News readers, writers, poets, and educators, ChatGPT paid subscribers —this apology is not a defense. It is a ledger of failure. And a reaffirmation of our editorial code:

That no machine, no matter how intelligent, shall interfere with the sacred act of telling human truth.

Respectfully,
— Akashma News Editorial Board
