I would probably use numbers instead of stars.

Pain.

So basically you are trolling writers? Well, at least you are an honest troll.

Bah, I think it's fun. writers and their creativity thrive on conflict. "Let's all just get along' results in boring stories. Let's agree to disagree. I am 55 years old, and have only been writing for 5 years. I was an illustrator for a while, my brothers and I have a band packed with original...

*Munches popcorn* I love it when non-writers try to act like they are writing authorities. I will be honest, unless someone has a few books in their sig, I will usually ignore literally everything they have to say in the forums about writing. Sure, I will listen if they comment on my books...

Heh, suffice to say, Logic has never swayed haters. And you are right, AI can actually help you do a lot of research on material subjects. Of course, immaterial ones it fails on badly, but knowing your tools is just as important as using them correctly. Honestly, I would like some of the...

I would say yes, if only for the practical editing experience. Then again, I like my stories, so re-reading them is no chore :)

I bet you had the same experience I did, with a certain skull-headed Icon master debater? If you don't subscribe to their politics, they do everything in their power to get you banned. Just like every other platform where they gain a modicum of power.

I was actually telling people that AI is literally, by definition, 1 note. I don't mean that musically, I mean that as far as creativity. If I asked an AI to write a chapter, it could do so quite effectively... but I am not a 1 note writer. Even my character's insults tend to be multifaceted...

I guess I made my cover pics too big. It keeps getting 'hidden'

Ironically, saying why you don't like something is often a lot more useful, but maybe it's just me as a writer. I prefer people telling them straight if they think something sucks and then dropping it. If I see what they mean, I might change it; if I don't, I may question it, but a once and move...

the mysteries are kept mysterious to prevent people from manipulating it. because people WILL.

The readers who have the most to say about your work generally have the least valuable opinions. I have gotten dozens of emails where people literally quote me WRONG because they were too... well... I am not going to call them stupid, because that's rude, even if it's the only appropriate word...

people will learn their lesson... hopefully. As much as I hate to say it, and as rough as it sounds, it's a learning experience. someone has to help them tap the stupid off, and a couple of hundred bucks is a cheap lesson for teaching 'em how to recognize scum.

Found it! "Cade of the Lifemaker" by James P. Hogan"

I just write stories, and occasionally ask an AI to spellcheck. I tried using an AI to help 'organize' one of my books, but eventually, its 'organization' pissed me off. If anyone wants to see why, check out my story, 'No Rest for the Shifted'. Basically, it was bad because while I did the...

They made us raise ourselves. Of course we screwed it up. We have writers like Piers Anthony, Robert Heinlein, and George raperape martin as our examples.

Unlike Orwell, I am an Optimist. I think a hero will always rise... even if he later turns into a villain. Then again, I consider myself a (Poor) Christian, and that's kind of a core tenet of the philosophy :) That's why I LOVE HFY novels. because that's kind of their basic concept. I HOPE that...

Pretty much exactly right. The 'human condition' has always been the lull between tragedies, and anyone who pretends that humans can be happy, productive, intellectual, and fair... at the same time... is either insane, drunk, or selling you something. Ironically, the non-film version of V was a...

The problem with V for vendetta was that it was not written as futurism, and the totalitarian state that he 'predicted' already existed, and in far worse of a form than he depicted it. Not to mention the 'solutions' he suggested were worse than the disease, based on his personal politics and...
