Me When The Characters Make Another Stupid Decision (I'm The One Writing Them):

Today in psych class we were talking about how more symmetrical faces are found more attractive, as it represents good autoimmune diversity or smth (don't trust me on that, I've mostly forgotten) and my friend was complaining about how her jawline is one side really soft, and the other side really sharp.

And I was like: Oh! It's like Mulan's jawline in the promotional poster. The one with the sword reflection, and she has one side square and the other round. And she was like: what.

So then I showed her the poster and yeah. She told me to make this post, because she wanted the world to know that she has the Mulan Jawline™

Me and my second cousins: *taking our horses out for a walk during an event so they can get our of their stalls*

My horse: Must! R U N and G O!!!!

My horse: Are my friends more than 0.0001 meters away? *runs like an idiot to get to them*

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

This is what I'm talking about, my friend thinks her jawlone looks like this (it kinda does if you look close enough)

saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him

(image description: a three panel drawing with very simple sketched lines and only a little quick coloration. it depicts a woman sitting at a desk, with a computer keyboard, musing aloud; "sometimes I wish my creative works would just make themselves...", after which she is startled by the arrival of a stick figure with a square head labeled "generative AI," which replies; "I can do that." the final panel is the only one with detailed color and lighting, showing the artist whipping out a pencil-shaped laser gun and exploding the AI entity. end description.)

had a conversation in a writing server, decided to make a meme about it.

Trying to put on my shoes and my dogs keep licking my hands

Like yes babies I love you all, I also want to put my shoes on it's been five minutes-

Hey, you reblogged that AI post and I was surprised to see something so mean on your blog. "If you cant write unassisted, fuck you, youre a disgrace to the community." Is that really something you want on your blog?

Just in case this isn't a spam message:

Posting AI-generated content to a platform intended to be an archive for writers is not appropriate use of the platform. On a platform intended for human creation, it is rude and inappropriate to clog search results with AI-produced content which often plagiarizes the work of human authors.

Use of generative AI is also horrible for our environment, leading to massive waste of fossil fuel energy and water. We should not be doing damage to our planet for the sake of generating (robot-produced, often plagiarized) fiction, especially when the joy of fiction comes from the creation and emotion of real people.

Rather than giving a prompt to a generative AI, people should consider attempting to write their own work, or asking another writer from the fandom if they would be interested in writing it. Anyone who is capable of typing a prompt into ChatGPT is capable of writing a story. The first attempts may not be amazing, but that is true of any skill, and anyone can improve with time and practice - and while ChatGPT may give you big returns in your time, it doesn't give you practice, growth, or creativity, which is where the joy of writing should come from.
