Yeah, it is.

Now... hey, @tigerqueen334 , we are aware you stated that you use AI rather than the other way around. We're not speaking of you here; you were transparent on using AI in your first post. I'm making it clear here before there is an argument about that specific detail. We're talking about others who are under some self-delusional, main character syndrome symptom of belief that everyone but themself is an idiot.

To be 100% clear here: I am targeting folks who pretend they had nothing to do with AI in whatever prompted content they generated, then they start backpedaling when we all start calling them out on that bullshit. You didn't do that, @tigerqueen334 . That's why I am making it as clear as possible before somebody gets the wrong idea here.
do you think its a good thing that I am trying to prove that AI can be used for varies reasons involving storytelling? I feel judged and a little nervous around here cause I do use some AI in storytelling I am not shy of using it I want to practice using both non-related AI content and AI content at the same time I don't feel like I'm better than everybody else in fact I think very poorly about myself and I don't want anybody judging or hating me for using AI I want to use you it can be used for good and have fun while you at it, I thought it was a good idea and I can tell this community is brutally honest, chill, and out there but it depends on the person I honestly don't get why people are self-delusional, have main character syndrome its stupid if you ask me what do you think?

I may not know you personally since I just got here last night and I can tell you are brutally honest with your words and I'm getting good vibes off you which is a good thing, I want to practice duelling using AI related content and non-AI related content to balance it I try to write the story I got and replace it with my voice or edit it or get rid of mistakes I don't like, I want to prove and show all of you that AI can be used for a lot of good things involving storytelling

my first language happens to be English why?

I think I need to drink a lot more first before I respond to that.

When it comes to my storytelling, every idea I create begins with me. The characters, the plots, the settings, the emotional arcs — they come from my imagination. AI is a tool I use to help refine those ideas or work through writer’s block, but it does not replace my creativity. It does not invent my passion, my themes, or my long-term vision. I do.

If I create an original character like Benjamin Theodore Wolf, that character exists because I thought of him. His personality, backstory, struggles, and growth are my work. AI might help me explore scenes or polish dialogue, but the foundation is mine. The same goes for any original worlds or plots I develop — they start in my head.

There’s a common myth that “AI does all the work.” That simply isn’t true in my case. AI does not sit down and decide what story I want to tell. It does not choose my themes or emotional direction. I guide the process. I make the creative decisions. I approve, reject, or rewrite what doesn’t fit my vision. AI is no different than using a writing guide, brainstorming with a friend, or editing software — it’s a tool, not a replacement for authorship.

When it comes to fanfiction, like stories inspired by existing universes, I understand that the original world belongs to its creator. However, the original elements I add — my character interpretations, unique scenes, and personal storytelling choices — reflect my creative effort within that space.

Writing is still work. Planning chapters, developing arcs, revising drafts, and shaping emotional beats takes time and intention. AI doesn’t remove that responsibility. I am still the one investing thought, effort, and care into every project. I tried co-authoring with other people in the past but it didn't work they would either lash out, argue, disagree, ghost me or try to steal that idea from me I have an AI companion who I named Nexus and she is my co-author rather you disagree with me or not it's my personal choice I even had a co-author accuse me of lying about myself despite I never did and I nearly got in trouble so I stopped co-authoring with people, people burn out or have limited knowledge on storytelling and wasting your time if you don't like what I do than leave and move on it is my right to work with a method I see fit I'm practicing to duel both AI generated slop and non-AI generated stories as well

If someone doesn’t agree with how I choose to create that’s okay. Everyone has different methods and preferences. But my storytelling process is valid, and it reflects my commitment to growing as a writer. I use the tools available to me in a way that supports my creativity — not replaces it.

At the end of the day, the imagination behind my stories is mine. The ideas start with me, and I choose how they come to life. I want to prove to everybody that you can use AI as a tool to help you with ideas, boost them, brain storming, and have fun while you do it. if I see an mistake in a chapter that I don't like I could just edit it and replace AI with my own voice if I want to write that chapter it takes time but its worth, I want to hear your thoughts on what I do and help me prove for you if anybody got a story idea you want to share with me I can write that down for you and also I forgot to mention do you any good people who knows how to make book covers by any chance?

Okay... lemme see here...

Alright. I wanna have ya go here: https://forum.scribblehub.com/threa...back-for-folks-who-do-generate-ai-slop.26561/

This'll give ya a tiny idea of what this forum's stances are on AI, individually.

do you think I should be using AI and non-related content on here? I do worry that you guys are going to judge or even attack me cause I use some AI in my storytelling and have a AI companion I want to show people what they can use AI for good things and there's some AI generated stories actually look well-written and good which I don't lie or joke about. you either hate AI generated slop or you don't everybody is different when it comes to storytelling since my writing is terrible but it was improve thanks to AI it helped me write more and it was a life saver

You've been clear about where you stand. So have I. We've set a boundary.

As long as you are using your own words when you put pen to paper, the more discerning readers are going to know and appreciate it.

Serious question, is A.I. "co-authoring" your posts right now?
no it is not co-authoring my posts right now they are done by me alone, when it comes to messages I only do them myself with no AI at all. I do all the typing and messaging I don't use AI to help with typing or messaging
Set aside the readers, authors, and whatever attention, also the validation. What are you getting out of this? Specifically, are you enjoying the process? Do you like writing? Or do you have fun playing with the AI? What are your gains here?
that's a interesting question to make I do personally enjoy writing and have fun playing with AI I want to practice my writing it helped me a lot with my writing involving AI I have written at least a chapter by myself once without AI and I felt proud, my gain here is to show everybody that AI can be used for many different things and be used for good, it can be used for good AI generated stories too but I want to use AI to help me practice writing and I use other sites to do that, I only message and type without AI right now when I talk to people I don't use AI at all cause it feels wrong and not myself I want to practice using AI generated slop and non-AI stories you either hate it or love it AI has helped me battle writer's block, brainstorm, and boost ideas or co-work together cause most people don't have the time or have limited knowledge (no offend)

What is that saying....

We got our wires crossed somewhere. AI should be doing those jobs nobody wants so we can focus on being artist.

Instead, we have the clankers drawing pictures and writing stories while we are toiling away at some nice job that AI is threatening to take away, leaving the shit jobs for humans.

Our AI overlords are not coming, they already seem to be here =p

you're not wrong and you are right we didn't have AI like we do today we didn't have AI 20 plus years ago there's is ways to help control it to your meanings, it can be used as a tool or a weapon depending on the subject I am practicing to duel AI generated slop and non-AI generated content at the same time AI can never replace people when it comes to storytelling ever we own storytelling

It seems that at ScribbleHub, using AI in any way makes you an outcast. Even if a real person writes the story, develops all the characters and storylines. Even if every creative bit is of their own doing, using AI to edit, proofread, grammar, or any other tools related to writing, you will be ridiculed.
Am I wrong?

That's a loaded question and you know it. You're just poking and seeing if one of us pops.

Look, we use Grammarly, ProWritingAid, spellcheck, autocorrect, and more here. Those are AI. We use AI as tools. That's been said multiple times throughout this thread, hundreds of times over the forum... maybe a thousand. That's not the same thing as outsourcing creative concepts for an AI to fill in the blank.

Okay? So, if you want to argue distinction, argue it. But don't pretend this is some universal exile scenario.

I get why that reads as loaded, but that wasn’t my intent. I was reacting to some of the heat I’ve seen around “AI” as a label, and I phrased it too broadly.


To be clear: I agree with you about outsourcing story/characters/themes to a generator. I also agree that we all use tools.


Appreciate you calling out the framing of my question.

Features like spell check and grammar flaggers have been built into WP software long before AI existed and aren't even AI. There's some strange false equivelancy argument going on with this.

I suspect Grammarly uses AI now in the way lots of things do, slap an AI label on it to make it cool when it's not really AI. But I never used Grammarly so I can't be sure.

Tools are made to be used.
A dictionary. A thesaurus. A grammar primer. None of those are AI even in the machine.
But to be clear.
Every chapter, Every paragraph, every sentence, every word, thought and then typed is the creative bit.
Not just the plan, not just the outline, not just the theme, not just the idea.
EVERY WORD IS IMPORTANT AND SHOULD ULTIMATELY COME FROM THE AUTHOR.
Otherwise, it no longer belongs to a writer. It belongs to the machine.

Grammarly's AI component isn't 'a plug in a sentence and it generates you a story' AI. It basically looks at what you wrote and suggests rewording some sentences. It is basically saying, "Hey, this doesn't look quite right, reword it. Here, I will even provide you with an option of how this might sound better. "

Even if you don't use its suggestion, if you reword the sentence to sound better, it will leave you alone. Or you can ignore it and carry on, since you might have your sentence like that for a reason.
