Did you ever think about using AIs like GPT, Claude, Gemini (all free) to help you in writing your game? They could help you in writing a scene, for example.

What a nice way to say that I'm a mediocre writer, Anon. 😄

No worries, I know I am not great.

But I personally believe that I have come a long way since writing The Midnight Saga (That thing is filled with bad grammar and typos and that's why I've been discouraged to continue book 2 because I need to revamp book 1).

I believe that since then, my English has improved, and my writing has improved. It's to the point where I can read a text and spot the typos and bad grammar before even using my beta testers.

I also really love my writing style. It's silly and unsophisticated and it's me. Yes, I don't know where to place a comma or a period, but hey, I'm trying.

I'm not a fan of AI, and I won't learn if I use them. However, I do use a lot of synonyms and run my text through Grammarly to check for bad grammar and sentence structure.

PS: If that's not what at all you meant, sorry. I tend to take things out of context until it's explained to me clearly. 💕

personally i haven’t ever touched ai (except character ai lmaooo; sue me if i want to talk to my genshin faves) and i don’t plan to. it’s not something i would look into but i can definitely see it as a good resource for others!

No, never. And I never will.

Even if I could somehow guarantee the training data used by the program was sourced ethically, the whole point of writing is that I'm telling my story. I may be taking forever to finish it, but I can at least stand by the fact that this is wholly my work and every element has been carefully crafted with artistic vision and intent - something computers lack. I think that to do otherwise would be a disservice to both myself and the overall work.

Scholars in support of the Moraes Brazil decision against X

Here is the link, in Portuguese, here is part of a Claude translation:

We, the undersigned, wish to express our deep concern about the ongoing attacks by Big Tech companies and their allies against Brazil’s digital sovereignty. The Brazilian judiciary’s dispute with Elon Musk is just the latest example of a broader effort to restrict the ability of sovereign nations to define a digital development agenda free from the control of mega-corporations based in the United States. At the end of August, the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court banned the X platform from Brazilian cyberspace for failing to comply with court decisions that required the suspension of accounts that instigated right-wing extremists to participate in riots and occupy the Legislative, Judicial, and Governmental palaces on January 8, 2023. Subsequently, President Lula da Silva made clear the Brazilian government’s intention to seek digital independence: to reduce the country’s dependence on foreign entities for data, AI capabilities, and digital infrastructure, as well as to promote the development of local technological ecosystems. In line with these objectives, the Brazilian state also intends to force Big Tech to pay fair taxes, comply with local laws, and be held accountable for the social externalities of their business models, which often promote violence and inequality. These efforts have been met with attacks from the owner of X and right-wing leaders who complain about democracy and freedom of expression. But precisely because digital space lacks internationally and democratically decided regulatory agreements, large technology companies operate as rulers, deciding what should be moderated and what should be promoted on their platforms. Moreover, the X platform and other companies have begun to organize, along with their allies inside and outside the country, to undermine initiatives aimed at Brazil’s technological autonomy. More than a warning to Brazil, their actions send a worrying message to the world: that democratic countries seeking independence from Big Tech domination risk suffering disruptions to their democracies, with some Big Tech companies supporting far-right movements and parties.

[centrally-unplanned]

I would be more gung-ho about the AI tools if literally every single time you see someone saying:

What it wrote stunned me. My jaw hit the ground, and I think my brain exploded and actually went blank for several moments, because I was so blown away by how uncannily it seemed to describe WHAT I thought was so profound in the interview, and WHY it was a profound insight!

Its from a guy having a meltdown over Claude Opus summarizing a section of a podcast transcript and saying why it "mattered" and giving back this:

That, that sure is a summary of the transcript, just putting out every possible idea in the transcript that could be important and rephrasing them, with no sense of judgement or selection!

And like, these "important insights" into a game company's business history are:

1: Early start-ups are lean

2: When they become bigger, they change

5: Small companies are free, big companies are strong! This definitely isn't literally restating points 1 and 2!

You can just see the source code, right? Its every single hagiography of a tech company's Basement-to-Series-B-Funding story mashed up in a blender. Which is fine, as a product, its neat to have a tool that can accurately summarize things. Totally useful in the proper context.

But come the fuck on. Your jaw did not hit the floor, that event did not occur. I'm not saying the author here is an idiot or anything, he is not a gullible rube who mistook a text summary for divine insight.

He is just lying to you for money and clout, because he hopes you are.

Nope, I have my brain for that.

It's kinda unethical in my opinion, so I don't want to use those for my own work. Sorry.

Using AI to proofread is one thing, using it for writing an actual book? Fuck no.

Warum deine ausgefeilten AI-Personas deine Ergebnisse verschlechtern

Schlechte Nachrichten und für manche wohl Breaking News:  Diese "Experten"-Prompts, auf die du so stolz bist? Die machen deine KI wahrscheinlich nur dümmer. - Ups

Und bevor mir hier jetzt alle im Quadrat hüpfen, dass ist nicht wirklich überraschend aus der profeesionellen Sicht und ja damals mit GPT 3.5 war das auch etwas anders, aber ist es heute eben nicht mehr.

Mir ist klar, dass solche Infos nicht immer auf “freundliche Ohren” stoßen, erlebe ich es in den Advanced Prompting Kursen und im Unternehmen live, aber XY hat doch gesagt… Ja, aber die Qualifikation von KI oder besser GenAI Experten ist ein anderes Fass, was wir nicht heute aufmachen. Daher bezieht sich dieser Artikel auch auf eine saubere Studie und nicht nur meine 20 Jahre Berufserfahrung. 

Die Situation kennen wir alle. Wir versuchen die perfekte Antwort von ChatGPT oder Claude zu bekommen und entwickeln, was wir für den ultimativen Prompt halten:

"You are a brilliant Stanford professor with 30 years of experience in quantum physics, multiple Nobel prizes, and a deep understanding of..."  / "Du bist ein brillanter Stanford-Professor mit 30 Jahren Erfahrung in Quantenphysik, mehreren Nobelpreisen und einem tiefen Verständnis für..." 

Full Stop! Wir schauen uns das jetzt mal in Ruhe an

Die unbequeme Wahrheit

Eine neue Studie hat gerade eine der grundlegendsten Annahmen im Prompt Engineering zertrümmert: Die Annahme, dass AI-Modelle bessere Ergebnisse liefern, wenn wir ihnen spezifische Personas oder Rollen zuweisen. Spoiler: Tun sie nicht.

Forscher haben 162 verschiedene Personas auf mehreren führenden KI-Modellen mit über 2.400 Fragen getestet. Das Ergebnis? Das Hinzufügen von Personas machte entweder keinen Unterschied oder – hier wird es interessant – verschlechterte die ie KI-Leistung sogar.

Lassen wir das einen Moment sacken: All diese sorgfältig ausgearbeiteten "du bist ein Experte für..."--Prompts? Sie könnten aktiv unsere Ergebnisse sabotieren.

Es wird noch besser (oder schlimmer?), lassen wir die  Daten sprechen

Die Studie zeigt:

Dein "Experten-Arzt"-Prompt für medizinische Fragen? Kaum besser als gar keine Persona. Praktisch gleichwertig mit einem Basis-Prompt

Geschlechtsspezifische Rollen schnitten schlechter ab als neutrale (tut mir leid, "weiser atzer Mann")

Selbst wenn Personas in Einzelfällen halfen, war es nahezu unmöglich vorherzusagen, welche

Der simpelste Prompt schlug oft die ausgefeiltesten Rollenspiel-Setups

Der Plot Twist mit dem Domain Knowledge

Hier wird's interessant und bestätigt, was ich in meinen "Advanced Prompting Workshops" schon immer sage: Während Personas selbst nicht helfen, macht domänenspezifische Sprache und Vokabular einen echten Unterschied. Bei komplexen fachlichen Problemen beispielsweise lenkt die Verwendung präziser fachlicher Terminologie die Attention der AI auf die relevanten Knowledge Clusters in ihren Training Data.

Es geht nicht darum, der AI zu sagen "du bist Mathematiker" - es geht darum, die Sprache der Mathematik zu sprechen. Oder die des Marketing, der Pädagogik oder in welchen Bereich auch immer dein Wissensschatz liegt! 

Die eigentliche Innovation: Domain Expertise im Prompting

Okay, ich nenn das jetzt mal Innovation oder auch Magie, soviel Marketing sprech muss sein! 

Das führt uns zu einer entscheidenden Erkenntnis: Fortgeschrittene Prompting-Techniken müssen in Domänen-Expertise verwurzelt sein, aber nicht durch Rollenspiel. Stattdessen:

Nutze Fachvokabular: Statt "du bist Statistiker" verwende direkt statistische Begriffe und Konzepte

Wende Fach-Frameworks an: Strukturiere deine Prompts nach den Denkmustern deines Fachgebiets

Nutze Fachkontext: Beziehe dich auf relevante Konzepte und Zusammenhänge, ohne Personas zuzuweisen ( wenn es beim denken hilft da einen Job hinzuschreiben, feel free) 

Beispiel: Statt: "Du bist ein Experten-Statistiker. Was ist falsch an dieser Analyse?" Besser: "Analysiere dies unter Berücksichtigung von Stichprobenverzerrung, Konfidenzintervallen und möglichen Verletzungen der Normalverteilungsannahmen."

Ja, sorry musste ja jetzt was aus der Mathe sein! 

Die überraschende Erkenntnis

Besonders bemerkenswert: Selbst der Einsatz von Machine Learning zur Vorhersage optimaler Personas für spezifische Queries erreichte keine besseren Resultate als Random Selection. Lass wie das ma auf unsl wirken. Eine hochentwickelte KI, die versucht, die beste Persona für eine andere KI auszuwählen, war nicht besser als Würfeln. Und ja, melden das vielleicht auch mal den Abteilungen… 

Und genau deshalb schauen wir uns als nächstes die "Memory-Funktion" von ChatGPT an und warum es vermutlich eine wirklich, und ich meine wirklich schlechte Idee ist, sie zu nutzen! ( auf englisch ist schon da, deutsch flogt) 

Was solltest du stattdessen tun?

Keep it simple: Vergiss das ausgefeilte Rollenspiel. Ein klarer, direkter Prompt funktioniert oft besser ( der kann und wird immer noch sehr lang sein) 

Fokussiere dich auf Fachsprache: Nutze präzise, fachspezifische Terminologie

Struktur ist wichtig: Organisiere deine Prompts nach den Denkmustern deines Fachgebiets

Teste alles: Deine Ergebnisse können variieren - was für eine Aufgabe funktioniert, kann bei einer anderen versagen

Die strategische Dimension

Das wirft einige unangenehme Fragen für die KI-Industrie und all diese Prompt-Kurse von "den Experten" auf. Warum verwenden große KI-Unternehmen immer noch Standard-Personas in ihren System-Prompts? (Ja, genau dich meine ich liebe CS Abteilung, "hilfreicher Assistent.") Basieren unsere AI-Interaktionen auf oberflächlichen Konstrukten statt auf präziser, domain-spezifischer Kommunikation? Und haben wir die KI Bildung wirklich beim richtigen Anbieter eingekauft? 

Fazit

Wenn dir das nächste Mal jemand seinen "perfekten Prompt" schickt, der mit einer ausgefeilten Persona beginnt, schick ihm diesen Artikel und dir selbst wenn du schon wieder ein “Prompt Sheet” runterladen willst!Die Evidenz ist eindeutig: Erfolgreiche AI-Interaktion 

Dein sorgfältig gestalteter KI-Experte ist vielleicht nicht nur unnötig – er macht die Sache möglicherweise sogar schlimmer. Konzentriere dich stattdessen darauf, deine tatsächliche Domänen-Expertise in der Strukturierung und Formulierung deiner Prompts einzusetzen.

Hey so i know you're probably seeing a lot of angry responses right now and that not all of it is going to be constructive and it's going to be understandable to want to just shut it all out, But i hope you might listen and understand where that which IS constructive is coming from, as that anger is justified; AI generation software is constantly using artists work without their permission to generate things, there’s a strong chance that unless the software your using is explicitly against that practice (and even then. be cautious) that your textures are actually generated from another artists work- which sucks. Artists, including photographers (i cannot stress the inclusion of photography as art enough here), have a right to not allow automated technology to rip and redistribute their work as free assets without their permission.

Yes, you did do plenty of work after the fact to make your piece your own and i am in no way accusing you of laziness or doubting your skills and the outcome of the piece. You are an incredible artist! Which is why it is upsetting to see you comparing the current state of AI to software that to my knowledge doesn't usually rip other artists work, and that IS fully auto generated rather than just pulling from images it has no right to use and that people have not consented to have their work used for. Using textured brushes is wholly different from AI, as those are being provided by an artist with the intent for you to use. Yes, AI generation could in theory be a great tool for artists, but as it is currently built on the backbone of art theft and lack of opt-in consent for artists whose work and livelihood is constantly being ripped without their say it is NOT fit for that purpose. There are many (paid or free) brushes out there made by other skilled artists like yourself made to save time rendering. There are free image sites to use to find textures. You have options outside of a technology that is at this time supporting a massive wave of art theft and erosion of artists rights to their work; the issue is not using time saving skills, it is using one that artists have been very vocal about the issues it is causing for them.

If I wanted to shut it out I wouldn't disclose the fact that AI was even used. Instead, I wanted to show that this thing isn't an enemy to artists, quite the opposite in my humble opinion. That and let's face it, the devil is out of the box and this technology isn't going anywhere, so it's beneficial to learn how it can be incorporated into the workflow.

Speaking of how the algorithm learns. It doesn't produce collages of existing works, instead it learns the pattern of how something should look. If someone stuffed my artwork into a data set and an AI created something reminiscent of the way I would draw, then the algorithm is stealing from me the same way I am stealing from Toulouse Lautrec, Moebius, Claude Mone and nature photographers. Personally I wouldn't be mad at a machine doing the thing I do all the time, but it's just me.

But I understand it's a devisive issue so everyone is entitled to their opinion. As it stands, the whole thing is in gray area both legally and ethically. Curious to see what the opinion of it will be when the dust settles and it stops being a novelty.

In conclusion, I don't really plan on using today's technique habitually, I mostly wanted to offer an opinion as someone who's involved with both programming and artistic side of things.
