want to push back against an idea I'm seeing perpetuated recently that like

figurative language is 'bad' or 'nonsense' or indicative of AI

It's not. Literary prose is often written in a way which incorporates unusual or metaphorical descriptions to enhance atmosphere or to prod the reader to think about the character's actions.

If LLMs like CGPT are using figurative language, it is likely because they 'learned' it from 'reading' literary prose.

I see posts saying things like, "what does it mean to 'gesture softly?' you can't even do that!"

and no, not LITERALLY. The author is trying to get you to engage with the text and the figurative use of language. You DO know what it means. It means that the person was gesturing in a manner that was delicate or not emphatic. The phrase might be intended to tell you about that character's personality or relationship to other characters in the scene.

I was reading 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez (translated by Gregory Rabassa) last night and thinking about this. There is a line in the book where the author writes:

Úrsula replied with a soft firmness:

The description of her speech as both soft and firm simultaneously is not meant to be literally interpreted. You could rewrite the sentence to be more literally correct by saying something like:

Úrsula replied calmly, but it was clear that she would not be persuaded away from her position.

But it would be a worse sentence. It's longer and more complex for no reason, and it doesn't contribute to the atmosphere of the piece or add to the stylistic choices. "Soft firmness" is interesting, makes the reader think about what Márquez is doing, and helps to characterize Úrsula.

Not every single text should be written in the clearest, most literal way. Whether or not someone writes using figurative language is a stylistic choice, and it's neither wrong nor an indicator of AI usage.

#writing #figurative language #have seen this repeated by people in multiple places #feels very cinema-sins to me #and it only engages with the text on the surface level

god i NEED to talk about miguel vs. literally every other spider's fighting style. he uses blunt force. he slams and claws and is clunky and heavy. its so so different to the other spiders who are light and airy, utilising agility instead and it reflects a much darker version of spiderman i think. god it was so cool

#couldnt place my finger on it in the cinema but it was scary as #like miguel villian of all timeeeee #spiderverse #across the spiderverse

my reaction to sonic 3 post credit scene but as shadow because I had my very cool shadow hoodie on lol

#sonic 3 #sonic 3 spoilers #spoiler #shadow the hedgehog #now ill be the one littering places with spoilers for everyone else #ill remember to try and tag them though #NOBODY commented or reacted on my shadow hoodie >:( at least not within my ear- or eye-shot #maybe one kid trying to pick everyones attention about it but i couldnt hear him well #kept trying to make myself as visible as possible. smiling friendly and showing my bootleg sonic plushie i also brought and all #no avail #so since nobody was to match my freak i decided to do it all myself and go full out #my family isnt the type to stay on credits you see :( so when the scene started i decided to stay in place right before exit and watch #Forgive Me Or Not Father But I Shall See My Next Character Teaser Whether You Want or Not #also given shadow got the same ending as in adventure 2 #it mustve been very fucking funny actually #to see a girl cosplaying as him tripping on stairs and almost falling #Helios Cinema we are seeing each other again in my full sonic freak mode in 2027 #or whenever they announced the movie on #long post
