This Isn’t AI, It’s a Pulse
The Clique That Mistook Life for AI
Disclaimer: These stories come from my own hands, my own notes, and my own lived years. I write them, shape them, and polish them myself the same way I edit my videos and create my music. This is my voice, my blues, my work.
Definition of a Clique
A clique is “a small group of people, with shared interests or other features in common, who spend time together and do not readily allow others to join them.”
Merriam‑Webster adds that a clique is “a narrow exclusive circle or group of persons; especially one held together by common interests.”
Cambridge says it plainly: A small group who spend time together and do not want others to join.

I look up from the dark
To the light
Not out of fright
Not out of spite
Remembering there are peeps
That focuses on policing
Colleagues,
Combing through their writing
Looking for AI
Seeing if they spot AI
Oh, they say,
“She used AI as copy & paste”
As of lately
I will remind you, policers
Not all you think
Not all you do
Is cool
It is rude
Shrewd
Ready to pounce,
Accuse, launch out at
Scream at
Ostracize, gossip like that
To reassure one’s own
Insecure personality quirks
That lurks
Judging
Criticizing
Ostracizing
Anything or anyone that sparks life
Raw unfiltered feelings
Such as blood spurting out
From a new wound
As it spurts out
The nurse grabs the towel
Covers the wound, applies
The rag like a tourniquet
The blood is bright red
And patient is scared
But no worries
It’s just a production shoot
For the new raw, unfiltered story I wrote
And when the director yells cut,
I look straight at the camera,
wipe the fake blood off my hands,
and smile the kind of smile
only a real writer knows how to make.
Because while the AI‑policers are still combing through commas
And
sniffing around metaphors
trying to smell circuitry,
I’m over here creating worlds
with nothing but my pulse
and a keyboard.
They can keep policing shadows.
I’ll keep writing the light.

I WORKED IN VIDEO EDITING FOR MANY YEARS. I WAS EXCITED ABOUT LEARNING AI. NOW THE CLIQUE IS JUST THAT, A CLIQUE. MY IDEAS ARE MY IDEAS. NOT YOURS, NOT AI. THEY ARE MINE. AT 77 I WRITE, RAW UNFILTERED STORIES, NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.
SINCERELY,
VICKI LAWANA TRUSSELLI
77 YEARS OLD SEPTEMBER 18
AUTHOR, FILMMAKER, ARTIST, AMAZON INFLUENCER AFFILIATE, POET, DIGITAL MARKETER, AND A REAL LIVE HUMAN BEING WITH FEELINGS AND A SOUL OF AN EMPATH. TO SPEND HOURS ON A VIDEO OR A STORY WITH DEPTH IS A RELIEF TO FINISH IT. THEN I HAVE TO FACE POLICING AND WHAT A BAD PERSON I AM FOR THAT. I FINALLY REALIZED I WAS THE ONLY PERSON SHARING MY SOUL THROUGH MY ART AND WRITING, WITH VIDEOS. SOMEONE ASKED ME HOW I DID THAT. I WORKED IN THE REAL INDUSTRY; LA TIMES, PASADENA, WHITTIER, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, DISNEY, SANTA MONICA TV, DOCUMENTARIES, JUDGE FOR THE CALIFORNIA MUSIC ASSOCIATION, AND FREELANCE MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTION. I was a member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, WOMEN IN FILM, and attended the CHRISTMAS PARTIES in Burbank presented by the Nashville/American Country Music Association before they moved to Las Vegas. I FILMED THE AUSTIN CITY LIMITS MUSIC FESTIVAL 2007. WHAT HAVE YOU FILMED OR WHAT HAVE YOU NOT FILMED?
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE IN YOUR LIFE?????
