I have a few AI's I will use that haven't been 'contaminated' by special subroutines to enforce political correctness, but it takes a lot of judgment because they get contaminated by other things. AI's are, in the end, incredibly stupid, so monitoring everything they add is critical. Suffice to...

write a new story. Maybe you will be more interested when you get back. I know I had a stroke and forgot ALL my stories. Now I am so excited that I can't figure out which one to work on!

I am pretty sure that the two 'blade' fanfics are reasonably popular. You haven't been here very long. Trust me, there are WAY dumber ideas that are popular. (I banged my way through every female in the MCU was on the 'top fiction' list for a day or two last week.)

The Last of Us was a pile of moralistic and woke crap. Then again, most games are like that now. Admitting simple and provable facts (male weightlifters tend to be able to lift heavier weights than female weightlifters) is enough to get your fiction banned from sites like Loyal Toad. Political...

It is. Scribblehub is nowhere near as 'active' as RR, but you also don't have to worry about legions of insane SJW's (including the moderator) getting your story banned because your male protagonist isn't polite about getting his junk groped by a dude.

well let me give you an exact example. I use AI for helping me write. I actually have looked VERY closely at the ethical considerations. My exact instruction set is this: Edit all chapters to strictly adhere to the following protocol: 1. Humorous protocol. Occasionally alter descriptions...

a couple of them basically ARE me. I am not creative enough to design a protagonist that would react in a way I cannot understand. The rest are all personalities I have known, even if their circumstances and appearances are different. Yes, even the bad guys. Jail sucks, but it's a good place to...

Well, crap is crap, regardless of whether a human or machine wrote it.

Depends on the kind of crutch. Using generalizations as a crutch is poison. Besides, I have read a ton of fiction right here. Are you going to tell me an original story idea that is 80% written by an AI after a human comes up with the story idea, is somehow WORSE than the 451st Naruto fanfic...

Wrong. Utterly wrong in every possible way, like trying to scramble eggs with a spatula made of mercury, wrong. AI can provide extremely valuable feedback. Every once in a while, EVERY writer forgets something and leaves a plot hole. AI can catch that in a way even human proofreaders cannot. And...

I had a stroke; thus, re-reading my novels felt like they were brand new in some ways. I was like... "Damn, this guy is really good!" and then remembered it was me. I actually told my wife, and she said "Duh".

It is valid to use whatever you want for whatever you want. That doesn't mean it will be high quality, since AI is AI, but people trying to pretend it is 'invalid' are only worth ignoring.

well, at least the jack-aces here aren't actually the mods, like on RR.

You forgot 4. The novel has not been released to the general public yet. There is a certain delay until the mods let a novel be seen, to make sure it doesn't violate any rules. This time period is usually no longer than a day, or a weekend in rare cases.

I agree! I am writing a 'reborn on another world with magic' story, and I have tried very hard to maintain the 'wild west' feel, and I would LOVED to let people who are looking for the 'have gun, have badge, have magic, fight gangs and robber barons' crowd KNOW it exists.

I love this conversation, watching all the anti-AI people trying to explain why they aren't bigoted against people using a glorified spellchecker. Read some stories about World War 2. seriously. Lots of people were using exactly the same language. "Oh, it's for their own good and safety...

I think it is mostly a question of writer education. There are 'tricks' to getting your story noticed. The first one? 1000 words is your 'big' chapter. automatic posting schedule. I have had to learn the hard way that people here have no tolerance for 5000-10000 word chapters, so I chop them up...

I disagree, because it would involve too much nitpicking, and could justify hate. I read my books to my wife as I write them. If she thinks something is terrible, I edit or remove it. Does that mean I need to put her on the author list? How about editor or rearranger? Nope, AI tools are just...

too bad you can't find the people that enjoy that kind of stuff and beat them up. They'd probably enjoy it.

Because you refuse to acknowledge or stop when you are getting out of line. Sometimes lines have to be drawn to respect the people who are actually offering you their lifeblood and soul, and sometimes you are the other side of that line.
