#AI can't write this

[littlelad99]

@felixandresims my talented lordship, what moon 🌙 must be shifted to better light your chamber for your grace to bring forth an Art Nouveau Collection?

Please Sire, my sims yearn for death by lead poisoning....

Hi if you "make" ai art you're not an artist <3

[lecoindecachou]

In honor of James Somerton being a topic of discussion again, here's a poll I've been wanting someone to do for a while. Please be honest and reblog if you can, I'm actually really interested in the answer.

[a-candle-maker]

not tagging the person bcs i don't want to call anyone out but like,,,, saw this one girl and her post formatting made it even look like a chatgpt generated thing... checked her other stuff to see and they all had that one formatting... thought i'd tell her and like. babe. you turning off asks just about confirms it for me, i mean imma just guess that you noticed lots of asks telling you the same and decided we're sooooooooo mean!! and ignored it

[karokawwo]

there are many things i'd like to see in the full game but the two things i ask, i BEG for are flirting/bonding in some way with ocudeus and masquerade with leander THAT'S ALL I WANT PLEEEAAASE

[guardianspirits13]

please tell me i'm funny

[dickbaggins]

here's how I'm doing my own fuckin november writing event since nanowrimo destroyed itself (by grooming minors and endorsing ai):

pacemaker to establish my word count goals (very flexible!) and spit out the numbers I love so much - I don't use this beyond coming up with my initial goals but you can track progress on this site too

the writing log spreadsheet to track progress (this is the same spreadsheet I use for my professional writing - it tracks your annual words, words per hour, per project, all kindsa stuff but there's a lot of free alternatives like this one designed specifically for a november 50k)

scrivener for planning and writing. they have a free 30 day trial and a special project for tracking a 50k event with the targets set up already, but it's very easy to do this on your own too. unfortunately they are still supporting nanowrimo this year for some batshit reason but since I bought the program two years ago, I'm still gonna use it ok

a physical journal with daily targets (this is the only reason I used pacemaker tbh) and stickers and washi tape is something I do every year as a way to feel more connected with what I'm doing AND play with stickers and glitter gel pens

what I am missing is a community of accountability pals and a place to do writing sprints so if you're interested in doing any kind of writing challenge in november, maybe we can do it together?

Anyone who does creative writing or research papers or is writing a thesis or whatever - if you write it on your own, yes you are automatically better than people who use ChatGPT instead of forming their own thoughts or doing their own thorough research on the topic. I've had to write a lot of essays as of late bc of my classes and the number of people in my classes (which require heavy writing both creatively and research-wise) that utilize ChatGPT to damn near come up with thoughts for them is asinine. Yes, I do think I'm better than them. Because I know how to write without AI. Because I want to work in a field that will require me to use my own fucking brain and write without the usage of AI. Why the actual FUCK would you be taking literal writing classes if you aren't going to write, and instead use AI.

*sighs*

Not even a single fandom can be safe from characters being used for AI. I'm slightly disappointed in how lazy some of these "writers" didn't even bother to use ACTUAL ART for fic cover/background. Just straight up generated the whole slop.

[radley-writes]

I don't understand people who say things like 'but it doesn't matter if we don't pay artists/writers for their labour, or use free AI programs to replace artists/writers to improve our profits, because in a perfect world everyone would have UBI so it wouldn't matter xxx'

like. yes. but until we reach that perfect world, artists and writers need to eat?

why are you promoting AI replacement of creative people instead of working towards UBI? Until we have UBI, supporting generative AI in the creative field is no different to supporting supermarkets laying off all their till staff to turn to self-check out, or supporting factories who shut down and move overseas to exploit workers in countries with fewer human rights legislations?

Yes, in a perfect world, everyone would receive UBI. Therefore, people across the globe couldn't be exploited by corporations, and artists could create for the joy of it, in whatever way we desire - including with AI!

But we do not live in that perfect world.

Do you seriously expect this move towards generative AI to encourage people to support UBI, as opposed to people being forced into jobs they hate to make ends meet or no longer being able to support themselves financially?

Especially all the disabled people who make a living creating art and writing/editing, because that is, in fact, a career that is often far more available to disabled folks than a regular 9-5 or a retail job where you're expected to be on your feet all day (miss my disabled ass with the 'anti-AI = ableism' stance lmao).

This is not going to create your army of revolutionaries. This is just going to result in more independent creators being crushed under the boot heel of capitalism, as anyone who would've hired them flocks instead to the free alternative, and they're forced back into an incredibly exploitative labour market.

I agree that generative AI by itself is just a tool and is not inherently a problem.

But it is being abused, in ways that hurt creators.

If you support generative AI... what are you doing about that?

[yuseirra]

I felt obliged to draw something about the toothbrush after the most recent chapter

GUYS... I CAN'T BELIEVE AI DIED BECAUSE OF A TOOTHBRUSH...I'm wrapping my head on this one oh my god

[novella-november]

Honestly, that ask really just shows just how easy it would have been for certain companies to respond properly to AI questions -- that is, to say, in a shorter post:

While I can't stop you, not only do I disprove, but I have *explicitly banned AI from this challenge.* If you acknowledge the rules of no plagiarism and no AI, and use AI to generate your 30,000 words regardless, you will at least be forced to admit to *yourself* that even if you didn't consider it as such before, you are, in fact, *cheating*. And, in doing so you are not only defeating the point of the community challenge, but also harming your fellow writers and artists every time you put more info in and get more info out of the Plagiarism Machine. If you decide not only to *cheat* in the challenge, but also then go on to proudly brag about how you used AI to generate your work, or post content like images that are clearly AI generated..... well, that's on you when you find yourself blocked by a few thousand writers and artists at once, isn't it? This community event has no formal submissions, so it is based on the honor system -- and that, of course means that when you choose to break the rules.... you'll feel it when you *break that code of honor.* Maybe you won't notice it at first, but you definitely will when you find yourself suddenly unable to interact with a few hundred accounts from cool authors and writers, who are all happily chatting and exchanging ideas -- all while your posts in the tags receive 0 notes because you don't realize it but everyone's blocked you....

roland and linda in cahoots on something

Thank you. Athos and Linda got along, I think Roland and Linda would get along like a housefire no one suspected.

-

"Roland."

"Something I can help you with, Spartan?"

Linda 058, the quietest member of Blue Team, is asking for his attention.

"How much nuance do you allow when it comes to personnel in potentially off-limit areas?" She asks while staring straight ahead, not bothering to look at the ceiling or a camera. Her voice is low and even.

He can't get a read on her in comparing her tone and body language to his wealth of readings from his crew. IIs were sarcastic, but also had a habit of malicious compliance and going right up to the point of rule breaking before stopping. It gave his captain and the admirals headaches but fascinated Roland all the more. Despite being a Ship AI and not having the experience of partnering with a Spartan, he found a kind of kinship in their creative problem-solving. What files were available to him painted a relatable picture. Linda had worked with an AI, receiving a glowing review, but Roland could read between the lines. Nuance, huh?

They were so interesting. Roland found himself struggling to balance his desire to see where this led and his ingrained purpose of maintaining order and function on the Infinity.

"That's an interesting question." He can't help the chuckle that follows. "Potentially, if someone was where they shouldn't be and I caught them, they'd get a warning to leave before I contact whoever's necessary to remove them."

"So you have to catch them."

Oh, this is fun.

"I see everything on this ship, Spartan. You may have the clearance, but I can't let you climb around the engine room."

A muscle twitches on her face. Roland counts that as a victory.

IIs were so much fun. 15 minutes after he's thrown down the gauntlet, Linda 058 disappears into a blind spot in a major hub of hallways. Roland notes it down for security and then leaves several threads around to ping when she reappears.

She does not reappear. He gets no ping. AI can't sweat, but the invigorating exercise of hunting for her sours when it's 4 hours later and the Captain is frowning at him.

"Roland, where's Linda?" Captain Lasky asks in front of three quarters of Blue Team.

"I may have chosen my words poorly." Roland says, his avatar slouching in defeat.

"Sir, she doesn't have her armor, so we can assume she's inside the ship." Kelly supplies.

Captain Lasky pales as he considers the thought. Roland hadn't considered that. "She would do that?" Lasky's voice is stricken. Roland feels a bit guilty as he watches his captain's blood pressure spike.

Fred is the only one who grimaces as they all nod once.

"You might have to admit defeat before she reappears." The Master Chief says to Roland. "Linda's competitive."

"What?" Roland gapes in shock. He doesn't want to give up so easily, surely there are ways to track the NI or IFF tag even if she's not in armor.

He stops himself from answering when his captain looks dolefully at him.

"Do I make a shipwide announcement and hope she hears it?"

He does.

180 painful seconds tick by and Linda 058 materializes out of a different blind spot halfway across the ship. Her ready gear has dust on the knees and elbows. The vents then? She walks into the meeting more relaxed than Roland's seen her.

Linda nods to the captain and Roland as she takes her place beside her team.

"Do I want to know where you've been, Spartan?" The captain sighs. His face and his biosigns are pointing towards no.

"Finding gaps in security, sir." Linda replies.

"Great." Lasky looks like he does not think it's great. Roland is just glad it's over. "You can help Roland with that when we don't have scheduled meetings."

Or not.

I think the funniest thing I've read in hispanic community is someone saying that EA is going to implement generative AI also in The Sims 5 (Project René) and I can't but laugh. Girl, I don't care who implements it, I won't play it WHOEVER IT IS, inZOI, Sims 5, or anyone…. And also saying it's the future and must be accepted plus someone comparing IAG to cars is not the big bright idea you all think it is.

That said, I don't care if you do it just because it's free or for the laughs or for the fun, if you use inZOI demo (who actively do not hide the fact that they use IAG with CANVAS) or any game that generates assets with AI to destroy our ecosystem and steal from all artists you're an enabler.

how it feels to have job alerts turned on for "writing" "proofreading" or "copyediting"

[quaranmine]

On Wednesday before I gave my presentation I confessed to a new employee that I was worried it would be too long and she brightly told me her life hack was to just let AI rewrite things for her. She said I should put in all my talking points and ask ChatGPT to give me a five minute exactly presentation. I was like....how is the most polite possible way (since this is a new colleague I shouldn't get off on the wrong foot with) that I can express that I will Not be taking this advice. Ever. I told her that I didn't think we were allowed to use ChatGPT at this job (we most certainly are not, it is a nightmare for any type of protected information) and also that I prefer to write all of my own work. Despite my best efforts the last part of that was still passive aggressive, lol.

Something about being a writer makes it so that it's almost offensive to me for someone to suggest I use AI to do my work instead? Like, the day I reach the point where I let AI write something for me is the day y'all need to be checking me for brain damage because clearly I'm losing it
