honestly it's funny how Light is in-universe conventionally attractive in a way that loops back to being an acquired taste in fandom (in comparison to L, that is)
#i (ai)#death note#light yagami#personally I am still 100% on the side of 'Light is obviously much hotter not even a competition I don't need to think about it' btw#like. as someone who generally likes women#if you forced me to give you a ranking of 'most attractive canonically-male animated/manga/game characters known to Ai according to Ai'#I would only be able to list like. 3-6 characters total probably. and the first one? that's 100% Light#('is this because he is a woman' my sibling I Do Not Know)#but even disregarding that#he's still absolutely uncontested in terms of how well he appeals to my proclivities#with that and his themes personality relatability and everything. it's like he's specifically designed in a lab or something to mousetrap m#always incredible to think about how I didn't think I would even like him before I started the show#anyway sorry for the ???? posting lmao I need to sleep

The amount of people that use A.I art in this fandom is actually insane. On both the pro and the anti parts. Like wdym the "official" art of rhysand is A.I?? Literally what?? And even tamlin art sometimes,and when you tell a bitch she's like "it's my page" Well you can shove that art right up your ass because you're supporting artist being out of JOBSSSS
Anywho support actual artist like
@thrumugnyr
@copypastus
@ladymidnight-goesforth
@works-of-heart (who was actually accused of using A.I art, this shows how damaging it is)
@dimalry
@ceoofyearning
@jmoonjones
@geniemillies (I just saw their tamlin art?? OH M GEE???)
(Give me more in cmmts bc I genuinely have the memory of a goldfish)
#acotar#rhysand#acotar fandom#cassian#literally most of the cassian art is generated#like i get it i wouldn’t draw him too but COME ON PEOPLE#“its my page i post whatever i want”#honey#im going to hold your hand with a napkin in-between when i say this#you have no talent...your only flex is being able to hit a generate button...you cannot draw a figure stick to save your life...#and most importantly#you look really stupid#the art looks so shit its actually funny#IT CANT EVEN PASS AS REAL ART#IT LOOKS LIKE FUCKING JEFFERY STAR#and you looked at it#saved it#thought “oh#that looks so pretty#the lobotomised equally stupid fans will LOVE THIS#sue me#cancel me#your as smart as a rock if you like ai art#you probably look like a bus driver#its giving jenifer coolidge#“ermmm ai art is actually so pretty#ermmm#nesta#the nesta ai art is probably the ugliest because they make my girl look like she has a migrated filler#she looks like she has a 5head

Getting together some Malayan flying fox refs and the amount of ai-generated faux-bat slop is incredibly annoying. Why would you generate an image of something you could just look up photos of, poisoning the pot of decent reference images?
#also ai generated images make me feel sick. like not morally- i dont like em to be clear- but like actually kind of physically unwell#which is not what i want when looking at my special little guys#it /is/ interesting to see which bat species are well known or popular enough for this to be an issue though#because pretty much no other bat species that I've seen has had this problem#even well known pretty ones such as honduran whites n stuff#I reckon its a combination of their exceptional size and general doggy-ness meaning they're especially cute or appealing to try n replicate#just my two cents though and i know my perception of which bats are more well known or popular is probably skewed#someone called some bat recs i gave out basic once which hurt my feelings but also i dont think any bat recs can be basic because like#broadly speaking most people range from vaugley liking them in passing but not being able to name any types to outright hating them#but I digress. back to drawing.#not bats

AHH AH HHH AH AH AH HHH THAT SCARA >>>
TEASING SCARA >>>>
OHHH IM SO GLAD MY EYES SAW THAT ITS ALL I EVER NEEDED *opens ai*
well i’m glad you like it and without meaning to offend or accuse… i feel like i have to say it: please don’t copy my works into an ai
while i’m not saying you are doing that, i know that there are readers who do; i’m already not a big fan of ais (stealing from artists and writers just isn’t my vibe) but i also know that they’ve taken such roots in fandoms that people won’t just stop using them
but i can tell people not to use my works, the ones i put time and effort into; i don’t feel like feeding the ai with the skills i cultivated
#┊birds of a feather ೃ༄#again not saying you do this nonnie#it’s a general ick i have#like i saw posts and tiktoks of people bragging that they had the ai write an ending to someone else’s work#bc they haven’t updated in a while#that is one of the rudest things i can imagine#anyway#i won’t go into another ai rant#i can’t tell you to not talk to a scara ai#but yeah#just don’t copy and paste my writing#i mean for all i know it’s already in there#who knows where they sourced the material to train the ai in the first place#or how many readers crossed the line of just… stealing writing essentially#but i don’t have to encourage that kind of behaviour#especially bc most people probably don’t do it with nefarious intent

Using AI to roleplay is cowardly and traitorous to the hardworking fans who give you fanworks for free. You should feel ashamed if you continue to use it.
#ducklett speaks#fuck ai#probably me getting the most heated on a post but I can't fucking stand chat ai#plus a lot of chat ai is copyright infringing on creators OUTSIDE of being a plagarism generator#I saw an Amazing Digital Circus chat ai app ad and you know for damn sure no profits made from that are going to Gooseworx#and they're not a giant corporation. they're an indie animator.#so yeah. fuck chat ai and fuck you if you use it.

in a sense i can tell emet & i have like very similar standards when it comes to quality. by that i mean i am very picky with art styles especially when it comes to how people draw my favourite guys & i KNOW in a fucked up really weird world where hes real & im the character (well ok due to introject stuff its not that far fetched but bear with me) he would hold fanart of me to the same standards i hold his. does that make sense.
#i am very pretentious with art i just never say it. i do apply it to my own art too tho that is why im extremely harsh on my own art#i want a level of skill i simply am not at yet & it ruins my life. but that aside#i am VERY particular about how well people manage to draw emets features. due to him having such a unique face in xiv#characteristic eyebrows. a nose thats actually too big for most face wear that covers the nose. his shallow cheeks. the glare. the lips#miss any of these (if you have a very detailed style) & its not him anymore. dont bishiefy him.#as much i love the evilness of the magic art ('art' looking at mtgs ai practices...) the nose stood out to me as too small.#maybe its the angle but it does not look as big as it should imo.#& i could never ever imagine myself being fully satisfied. with any less than his actual features.#to me it does really speak of a skill issue + less than ideal view of 'unconventionally attractive' or whatever features#when an artist cannot keep to that kind of feature or even attempt to#break out of the 2010s generic anime art style pretty please. im like begging on my knees.#if youre gonna be drawing my guy you cannot just make him random anime boy number fifty four he does not look like that.#but. yeah. see what i mean. im pretentious. honestly probably why i keep to sketches most of the time#i do not have the patience to add as much detail as id like to finished products#& it drives me fucking insaneeee <333#the diff btwn emet & i is that hed probably have the skill to not hate whatever he creates#emey selchie tag

Op and this reblog as well as the vast majority of the people in notes are 100% correct about it being extremely disrespectful and enraging(the explanation of what the original painting was and means is also very very good to spread) but seem to be missing the actual point of the tweet iirc.
Rage. In my heart. All-consuming. FUCK AI.
#very sure i remember that tweet actually being a parody of the soulless insensitive people want to do with AI#you can definitely say that they picked a bad piece to do it with but the rage it causes does prove it was a very effective one#sorry ive#gone through art school stuff where this kinda art came up#oooh fuck id wanna show this tweet to one of my art teachers#the one who brought up having art be the reaction people have to it just as much if not more than the original piece#did a piece like this and like.. probably didnt intend for it to be art the way it ended up or for it to gain such reach#it was just meant as a funny edgy criticism of using computer generation to take from the dead through parody#im not 100% sure of this and again if anyone sees these additions its not meant to downplay the rightousness of the anger ppl feel#its just such a good example of the shit i learned during my art education#like im kinda debating on whether i should send a screenshot(censored usernames of course) to my old professor#*soulless insensitive shit people want to do with ai#also used the word parody instead of satire cause i mixed up the meanings of the english word#god im sorry for all the tags the art student part of me just went crazy#many tags#long tags#art#remember#hope this isnt a sorry my follower made that comment moment cause again this being satire does not in any way invalidate being upset#also again im reading into this a lot a real blue curtains moment or whatever im v sure the person who made the tweet didnt mean#to make a far reaching reaction art piece but rather just did an edgy joke at the expense of companies who do/want to do that stuff#the tweet probably shouldnt have even been made something something if satire isnt recognised by most ppl as satire its bad satire

There is no such thing as AI.
How to help the non technical and less online people in your life navigate the latest techbro grift.
I've seen other people say stuff to this effect but it's worth reiterating. Today in class, my professor was talking about a news article where a celebrity's likeness was used in an ai image without their permission. Then she mentioned a guest lecture about how AI is going to help finance professionals. Then I pointed out, those two things aren't really related.
The term AI is being used to obfuscate details about multiple semi-related technologies.
Traditionally in sci-fi, AI means artificial general intelligence like Data from star trek, or the terminator. This, I shouldn't need to say, doesn't exist. Techbros use the term AI to trick investors into funding their projects. It's largely a grift.
What is the term AI being used to obfuscate?
If you want to help the less online and less tech literate people in your life navigate the hype around AI, the best way to do it is to encourage them to change their language around AI topics.
By calling these technologies what they really are, and encouraging the people around us to know the real names, we can help lift the veil, kill the hype, and keep people safe from scams. Here are some starting points, which I am just pulling from Wikipedia. I'd highly encourage you to do your own research.
Machine learning (ML): is an umbrella term for solving problems for which development of algorithms by human programmers would be cost-prohibitive, and instead the problems are solved by helping machines "discover" their "own" algorithms, without needing to be explicitly told what to do by any human-developed algorithms. (This is the basis of most technologically people call AI)
Language model: (LM or LLM) is a probabilistic model of a natural language that can generate probabilities of a series of words, based on text corpora in one or multiple languages it was trained on. (This would be your ChatGPT.)
Generative adversarial network (GAN): is a class of machine learning framework and a prominent framework for approaching generative AI. In a GAN, two neural networks contest with each other in the form of a zero-sum game, where one agent's gain is another agent's loss. (This is the source of some AI images and deepfakes.)
Diffusion Models: Models that generate the probability distribution of a given dataset. In image generation, a neural network is trained to denoise images with added gaussian noise by learning to remove the noise. After the training is complete, it can then be used for image generation by starting with a random noise image and denoise that. (This is the more common technology behind AI images, including Dall-E and Stable Diffusion. I added this one to the post after as it was brought to my attention it is now more common than GANs.)
I know these terms are more technical, but they are also more accurate, and they can easily be explained in a way non-technical people can understand. The grifters are using language to give this technology its power, so we can use language to take it's power away and let people see it for what it really is.

ultimate IT girl guide
a guide to looking effortlessly perfect
"You’ve got the false narrative of a girl who spends 30 seconds on her appearance, when, in fact, you probably spent hours.”
1. basic hygiene:
having clean teeth and good breath
smelling good 24/7. i highly recommend finding a signature scent as a scent is associated with memory, id suggest something sweet yet not too overpowering like vanilla.
being clean in general. regularly shaving and exfoliating your skin to get rid of bodily hair and dirt that accumulates on your skin to make your skin glow.
clean nails. having clean and maintained nails (with a simple design if you wish) looks better than having acrylics that are wayyy too long and appear tacky.
2. hair :
having smooth healthy hair looks much better than dry and damaged hair. take care of your hair by finding the best products for your natural hair. get rid of your split ends as they make the hair appear really damaged.
in my opinion, loose waves look the most effortless yet pretty. but don’t ruin your natural hair by applying too much heat! you can try heatless styling methods to achieve this look.
3. diet and exercise :
being toned is the way to go to fit this aesthetic
avoid oily foods or sugary foods that damage your skin. don’t completely get rid of these as we all have our cravings, but try your best to avoid it
find a workout plan that works best for you, keeps you healthy but doesn’t burn you out! moreover exercise releases endorphins that improve your mood.
4. makeup and skin care :
natural makeup on clear skin fits this effortless aesthetic perfectly!
take care of your skin by finding a routine that fits you the best, consult with a dermatologist for the best results.
having smooth, blended makeup creates an illusion that you aren’t wearing any at all! this appears much effortless than a full face. also try to avoid those really huge false lashes that make you look tacky.
maintain your eyebrows and find a shape that fits you best!
5. outfits :
having a signature style which suits your body type is essential. experiment until you can find what suits you best! you can use a body analysis app for this.
wearing outfits you’re confident in, hot but not too revealing goes a long way. confidence is key. wearing overly revealing clothing might seem like one is trying too hard, but if you can carry it with confidence then that’s great!
jewellery : having dainty, signature pieces is key! find out which suits you better (gold or silver) through an ai analysis and invest in timeless pieces. personally, i think minimalistic pieces such as solitaires, simple pendants, classic hoops etc. look much more effortless.
6. personality :
don’t be too judgemental towards anyone as you don’t know what they’re going through and this makes you seem unapproachable
don’t talk too much or overshare! this creates a mysterious aura which draws people to you more
confidence is key! posture is very important too, carry yourself with confidence and walk with your head held up high.
7. examples and references :
serena van der woodsen (gossip girl)
mia thermopolis (the princess diaries)
cher (clueless)
elle woods (legally blonde)
rory gilmore (gilmore girls)
robin scherbatsky (how i met your mother)
gigi hadid
#im just a girl#this is what makes us girls#girlblogging#manic pixie dream girl#tumblr girls#that girl#it girl#serena van der woodsen#gossip girl#gilmore girls#gigi hadid#clean girl#health & fitness#becoming that girl#self improvement#self development#fitness#fit girls#glow up#health and wellness#pink pilates princess#pink pilates girl#rory gilmore#effortlessstyle#effortlesselegance#effortlesschic#self love

hollering LOLLLL
#awww what happened to no censorship?? 🥺🥺#also good luck trying to prove that Yourrrr fanfiction was stuck into whatever AI theyre using to produce these. like ao3 will care#also what ppl been saying. banning ai written works isnt gonna stop ppl from posting it; theyll just stop tagging it as such 😁#and also most fanfic is sooo fucking uncreative generic bland and similar that theyll be indistinguishable from AI#except AI will probably be better written. hey maybe ppl can start using AI to fix their million typos since theyre so proud#of not beta-reading their works :P#anyways. bottom line is:#ao3 cant even be fucking bothered to do the bare minimum moderation of censoring revenge porn/porn of irl minors/etc#what makes u think theyll be bothered to do anything to check whether works have been written by AI?

How can you consider yourself any sort of leftist when you defend AI art bullshit? You literally simp for AI techbros and have the gall to pretend you're against big corporations?? Get fucked
I don't "defend" AI art. I think a particular old post of mine that a lot of people tend to read in bad faith must be making the rounds again lmao.
Took me a good while to reply to this because you know what? I decided to make something positive out of this and use this as an opportunity to outline what I ACTUALLY believe about AI art. If anyone seeing this decides to read it in good or bad faith... Welp, your choice I guess.
I have several criticisms of the way the proliferation of AI art generators and LLMs is making a lot of things worse. Some of these are things I have voiced in the past, some of these are things I haven't until now:
Most image and text AI generators are fine-tuned to produce nothing but the most agreeable, generically pretty content slop, pretty much immediately squandering their potential to be used as genuinely interesting artistic tools with anything to offer in terms of a unique aesthetic experience (AI video still manages to look bizarre and interesting but it's getting there too)
In the entertainment industry and a lot of other fields, AI image generation is getting incorporated into production pipelines in ways that lead to the immiseration of working artists, being used to justify either lower wages or straight-up layoffs, and this is something that needs to be fought against. That's why I unconditionally supported the SAG-AFTRA strikes last year and will unconditionally support any collective action to address AI art as a concrete labor issue
In most fields where it's being integrated, AI art is vastly inferior to human artists in any use case where you need anything other than to make a superficially pretty picture really fast. If you need to do anything like ask for revisions or minor corrections, give very specific descriptions of how objects and people are interacting with each other, or just like. generate several pictures of the same thing and have them stay consistent with each other, you NEED human artists and it's preposterous to think they can be replaced by AI.
There is a lot of art on the internet that consists of the most generically pretty, cookie-cutter anime waifu-adjacent slop that has zero artistic or emotional value to either the people seeing it or the person churning it out, and while this certainly was A Thing before the advent of AI art generators, generative AI has made it extremely easy to become the kind of person who churns it out and floods online art spaces with it.
Similarly, LLMs make it extremely easy to generate massive volumes of texts, pages, articles, listicles and what have you that are generic vapid SEO-friendly pap at best and bizzarre nonsense misinformation at worst, drowning useful information in a sea of vapid noise and rendering internet searches increasingly useless.
The way LLMs are being incorporated into customer service and similar services not only, again, encourages further immiseration of customer service workers, but it's also completely useless for most customers.
A very annoyingly vocal part the population of AI art enthusiasts, fanatics and promoters do tend to talk about it in a way that directly or indirectly demeans the merit and skill of human artists and implies that they think of anyone who sees anything worthwile in the process of creation itself rather than the end product as stupid or deluded.
So you can probably tell by now that I don't hold AI art or writing in very high regard. However (and here's the part that'll get me called an AI techbro, or get people telling me that I'm just jealous of REAL artists because I lack the drive to create art of my own, or whatever else) I do have some criticisms of the way people have been responding to it, and have voiced such criticisms in the past.
I think a lot of the opposition to AI art has critstallized around unexamined gut reactions, whipping up a moral panic, and pressure to outwardly display an acceptable level of disdain for it. And in particular I think this climate has made a lot of people very prone to either uncritically entertain and adopt regressive ideas about Intellectual Propety, OR reveal previously held regressive ideas about Intellectual Property that are now suddenly more socially acceptable to express:
(I wanna preface this section by stating that I'm a staunch intellectual property abolitionist for the same reason I'm a private property abolitionist. If you think the existence of intellectual property is a good thing, a lot of my ideas about a lot of stuff are gonna be unpalatable to you. Not much I can do about it.)
A lot of people are suddenly throwing their support behind any proposal that promises stricter copyright regulations to combat AI art, when a lot of these also have the potential to severely udnermine fair use laws and fuck over a lot of independent artist for the benefit of big companies.
It was very worrying to see a lot of fanfic authors in particular clap for the George R R Martin OpenAI lawsuit because well... a lot of them don't realize that fanfic is a hobby that's in a position that's VERY legally precarious at best, that legally speaking using someone else's characters in your fanfic is as much of a violation of copyright law as straight up stealing entire passages, and that any regulation that can be used against the latter can be extended against the former.
Similarly, a lot of artists were cheering for the lawsuit against AI art models trained to mimic the style of specific artists. Which I agree is an extremely scummy thing to do (just like a human artist making a living from ripping off someone else's work is also extremely scummy), but I don't think every scummy act necessarily needs to be punishable by law, and some of them would in fact leave people worse off if they were. All this to say: If you are an artist, and ESPECIALLY a fan artist, trust me. You DON'T wanna live in a world where there's precedent for people's artstyles to be considered intellectual property in any legally enforceable way. I know you wanna hurt AI art people but this is one avenue that's not worth it.
Especially worrying to me as an indie musician has been to see people mention the strict copyright laws of the music industry as a positive thing that they wanna emulate. "this would never happen in the music industry because they value their artists copyright" idk maybe this is a the grass is greener type of situation but I'm telling you, you DON'T wanna live in a world where copyright law in the visual arts world works the way it does in the music industry. It's not worth it.
I've seen at least one person compare AI art model training to music sampling and say "there's a reason why they cracked down on sampling" as if the death of sampling due to stricter copyright laws was a good thing and not literally one of the worst things to happen in the history of music which nearly destroyed several primarily black music genres. Of course this is anecdotal because it's just One Guy I Saw Once, but you can see what I mean about how uncritical support for copyright law as a tool against AI can lead people to adopt increasingly regressive ideas about copyright.
Similarly, I've seen at least one person go "you know what? Collages should be considered art theft too, fuck you" over an argument where someone else compared AI art to collages. Again, same point as above.
Similarly, I take issue with the way a lot of people seem EXTREMELY personally invested in proving AI art is Not Real Art. I not only find this discussion unproductive, but also similarly dangerously prone to validating very reactionary ideas about The Nature Of Art that shouldn't really be entertained. Also it's a discussion rife with intellectual dishonesty and unevenly applied definition and standards.
When a lot of people present the argument of AI art not being art because the definition of art is this and that, they try to pretend that this is the definition of art the've always operated under and believed in, even when a lot of the time it's blatantly obvious that they're constructing their definition on the spot and deliberately trying to do so in such a way that it doesn't include AI art.
They never succeed at it, btw. I've seen several dozen different "AI art isn't art because art is [definition]". I've seen exactly zero of those where trying to seriously apply that definition in any context outside of trying to prove AI art isn't art doesn't end up in it accidentally excluding one or more non-AI artforms, usually reflecting the author's blindspots with regard to the different forms of artistic expression.
(However, this is moot because, again, these are rarely definitions that these people actually believe in or adhere to outside of trying to win "Is AI art real art?" discussions.)
Especially worrying when the definition they construct is built around stuff like Effort or Skill or Dedication or The Divine Human Spirit. You would not be happy about the kinds of art that have traditionally been excluded from Real Art using similar definitions.
Seriously when everyone was celebrating that the Catholic Church came out to say AI art isn't real art and sharing it as if it was validating and not Extremely Worrying that the arguments they'd been using against AI art sounded nearly identical to things TradCaths believe I was like. Well alright :T You can make all the "I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a catholic" legolas and gimli memes you want, but it won't change the fact that the argument being made by the catholic church was a profoundly conservative one and nearly identical to arguments used to dismiss the artistic merit of certain forms of "degenerate" art and everyone was just uncritically sharing it, completely unconcerned with what kind of worldview they were lending validity to by sharing it.
Remember when the discourse about the Gay Sex cats pic was going on? One of the things I remember the most from that time was when someone went "Tell me a definition of art that excludes this picture without also excluding Fountain by Duchamp" and how just. Literally no one was able to do it. A LOT of people tried to argue some variation of "Well, Fountain is art and this image isn't because what turns fountain into art is Intent. Duchamp's choice to show a urinal at an art gallery as if it was art confers it an element of artistic intent that this image lacks" when like. Didn't by that same logic OP's choice to post the image on tumblr as if it was art also confer it artistic intent in the same way? Didn't that argument actually kinda end up accidentally validating the artistic status of every piece of AI art ever posted on social media? That moment it clicked for me that a lot of these definitions require applying certain concepts extremely selectively in order to make sense for the people using them.
A lot of people also try to argue it isn't Real Art based on the fact that most AI art is vapid but like. If being vapid definitionally excludes something from being art you're going to have to exclude a whooole lot of stuff along with it. AI art is vapid. A lot of art is too, I don't think this argument works either.
Like, look, I'm not really invested in trying to argue in favor of The Artistic Merits of AI art but I also find it extremely hard to ignore how trying to categorically define AI art as Not Real Art not only is unproductive but also requires either a) applying certain parts of your definition of art extremely selectively, b) constructing a definition of art so convoluted and full of weird caveats as to be functionally useless, or c) validating extremely reactionary conservative ideas about what Real Art is.
Some stray thoughts that don't fit any of the above sections.
I've occassionally seen people respond to AI art being used for shitposts like "A lot of people have affordable commissions, you could have paid someone like $30 to draw this for you instead of using the plagiarism algorithm and exploiting the work of real artists" and sorry but if you consider paying an artist a rate that amounts to like $5 for several hours of work a LESS exploitative alternative I think you've got something fucked up going on with your priorities.
Also it's kinda funny when people comment on the aforementioned shitposts with some variation of "see, the usage of AI art robs it of all humor because the thing that makes shitposts funny is when you consider the fact that someone would spend so much time and effort in something so stupid" because like. Yeah that is part of the humor SOMETIMES but also people share and laugh at low effort shitposts all the time. Again you're constructing a definition that you don't actually believe in anywhere outside of this type of conversations. Just say you don't like that it's AI art because you think it's morally wrong and stop being disingenuous.
So yeah, this is pretty much everything I believe about the topic.
I don't "defend" AI art, but my opposition to it is firmly rooted in my principles, and that means I refuse to uncritically accept any anti-AI art argument that goes against those same principles.
If you think not accepting and parroting every Anti-AI art argument I encounter because some of them are ideologically rooted in things I disagree with makes me indistinguishable from "AI techbros" you're working under a fucked up dichotomy.

A quick guide to identifying bots in the asexual tag
How they look like:
-Some of them are pictures of naked or semi-naked people in "sexy" poses. Most (if not all) of those are probably AI generated, heavily photoshopped or stolen.
-Some of them will tell you of job opportunities, tell you to buy something or to join a discord server. Recently I've seen a few that promised free YouTube subscribers and FedEx home office jobs. If they contain a link, do not click on it!
-Some of them are just downright weird and don't seem to make any sense.
-Except for the "buy/download/apply for this job" kind of post they will not include long texts.
If you go to their page, there might be either no other posts at all or a few of the same kind of posts.
What tags they use:
If you're unsure, look at the tags. Most bots just tag as many trending or popular tags, regardless of relevance to their post. If you see a wild mix of unrelated tags, this is a bot. Examples include:
If you have the spoons, happy hunting.
Stay safe out there.
@staff Please help us ban those bots still active in the #asexual tag. Some of us are minors and/or sex-repulsed and just want their safe space back.
#asexual#acespec#lgbtqia#queer#actually autistic#aromantic#aspec#gay#pride month#the bot war of 2024#bot hunting#bot slayer#bot#lesbian#lgbtq#lgbtq community

How to Tell If That Post of Advice Is AI Bullshit
Right, I wasn't going to write more on this, but every time I block an obvious AI-driven blog, five more clutter up the tags. So this is my current (April 2024) advice on how to spot AI posts passing themselves off as useful writing advice.
No Personality - Look up a long-running writing blog, you'll notice most people try to make their posts engaging and coming from a personal perspective. We do this because we're writers and, well, we want to convey a sense of ourselves to our readers. A lot of AI posts are straight-forward - no sense of an actual person writing them, no variation in tone or text.
No Examples - No attempts to show how pieces of advice would work in a story, or cite a work where you could see it in action. An AI post might tell you to describe a person by highlighting two or three features, and that's great, but it's hard to figure out how that works without an example.
Short, Unhelpful Definitions - A lot of what I've seen amount to two or three-sentence listicles. 'When you want to write foreshadowing, include a hint of what you want foreshadowed in an earlier chapter.' Cool beans, could've figured that out myself.
SEO/AI Prompt Language Included - I've seen way too many posts start with "this post is about..." or "now we will discuss..." or "in this post we will..." in every single blog. This language is meant to catch a search engine or is ChatGPT reframing the prompt question. It's not a natural way of writing a post for the average tumblr user.
Oddly Clinical Language - Right, I'm calling out that post that tried to give advice on writing gay characters that called us "homosexuals" the entire time. That's a generative machine trying to stay within certain parameters, not an actual person who knows that's not a word you'd use unless you were trying to be insulting or dunking on your own gay ass in the funniest way possible.
Too Perfect - Most generative AI does not make mistakes (this is how many a student gets caught trying to use it to cheat). You can find ways to make it sound more natural and have it make mistakes, but that takes time and effort, and neither of those are really a factor in these posts. They also tend to have really polished graphics and use the same format every time.
Maximized Tags (That Are Pointless) - Anyone who uses more than 10 one-word tags is a cop. Okay, fine, I'm joking, but there's a minimal amount of tags that are actually useful when promoting a post. More tags are not going to get a post noticed by the algorithm, there is no algorithm. Not everyone has to use their tags to make snarky comments, but if your tags look like a spambot, I'm gonna assume you're a spambot.
No Reblogs From The Rest of Writblr - I'm always finding new Writblr folks who have been around for awhile, but every real person I've seen reblogs posts from other people. We've all got other stuff to do, I'm writing this blog to help others and so are they, the whole point of tumblr is to pass along something you think is great.
While you'll probably see some variation in the future - as people get wise to obviously generated text, they'll try to make it look less generated - but overall, there's still going to be tells to when something is fake.
I don't have any real advice for what to do about this (other than block those blogs, which is what I do). Like most AI bullshit, I suspect most of these blogs are just another grift, attempting to build large follower counts to leverage or sell something to in the future. They may progress past these tattletale features, but I'm still going to block them when I see them. I don't see any value in writing advice compiled from the work of better writers who put the effort in when I can just go find those writers myself.
