Stop AI Witch-hunting!

[RepresentingSilence]

It does, though. It means I took 4.5 years out of my life to learn writing and digital media. Why would I sully my craft by posting AI?

4.5 years and tens of thousands of dollars wasted on subjects you could have learned from YouTube videos

 

[OtherSlater]

4.5 years and tens of thousands of dollars wasted on subjects you could have learned from YouTube videos

-Got published
-Met the love of my life
-Made valuable connections
-Learned from the best
-Had an environment to create freely

Don't think I could do any of that with a YouTube video. I don't claim to be better. But I had great college experience. You are not Kanye.

Sure, but side note,
how does one give feedback to people that have A.I. to generated their tone, and prose?
How do we give feedback to formatting when A.I. did the formatting?

I am no judging, just saying how?

So am I suppose to help the prompter give better prompts to their A.I. ?

This that what feedback is?

If so I guess that what I can say to the people when they post their A.I. edited text.

I mean it will be more straight forwards.

I think I started a thread about constructive feedback to AI Slop?

That was 4 weeks ago, the worm child is the only thing I remember from pre-purge...

Stop trying to play both sides. A couple weeks ago you were the one trying to stir up a witch hunt to eliminate AI generated covers. Now that the accusations have worked their way around to being directed at you, suddenly AI witch hunting is bad. You're the worst kind of hypocrite: one with a moral superiority complex.

Hmm, help me understand your thought process or lack thereof here.

If someone holds the opinion that AI is bad period, but also the opinion that baselessly accusing people of using AI in their writing is equally bad (and I have seen this forum's accusations. They think that an amateur's one sentence paragraphs equal AI usage), then they're a hypocrite?

The accusation of hypocrisy could be easily lobbed the other way: trying to witch hunt people for (unproven) AI usage in their writing while stubbornly defending webnovel websites' drift into looking like websites that advertise themselves with 'Kinky roleplay chats with AI babes!' banners.

Coming in to a witch hunting thread dressed as a witch, you must be some kind of masochist.

This witch is immune to witch hunting. In fact she already knocked Heinrich Kramer over the head.

 

[CountVanBadger]

then they're a hypocrite?

You're a hypocrite if the witch hunt only becomes a bad thing when the torches and pitchforks are being pointed at you. Which is exactly what's happening here. OtherSlater was more than happy to sic the anti-AI mob on people who didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a cover for a book they weren't making money off of, but the minute people started saying his writing might be AI generated, he immediately changed his tune and started preaching about how bad accusing people of using AI is.

I checked back and: nope! In fact their OP was addressing the exact same hypocrisy I was talking about: how AI writing is shunned on here but everyone is more than fine using AI covers.

So, you hunt AI writers using.. AI?

an AI product will not have consistent context within their story, right? Why not hunt it within the context?

The fact that this is a writing website and not an art website is totally lost on both of you, I guess. Regardless, he's still a hypocrite for trying to start a witch hunt and then demanding that the witch hunts stop as soon as people started coming after him.

Words have meanings, and what OtherSlater did was by no means a witch hunt, it was a general call akin to 'hey we should probably not do this'. I get the impression that your feathers got kind of ruffled by that and now you're holding a grude. Which is fine! I've blocked a few of the writers on here myself for some stuff they said.

And if you're fine with slop being the face of your writing there's nothing I can do to stop you.

Then I'll jump in.

Does anyone remember Aisling a while back? These are his two threads he posted:

https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/“-zhuangzi’s-butterfly-–-sci-fi-fantasy-multiverse-adventure-”.24792/#post-568404

https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/the-right-of-reply.24820/page-2#post-569121

See if there's evidence what he posted was AI generated. Read for yourself. For those who don't want to read the threads I'll summarise why I think people thought he was ai.

1. his story was about AI and consciousness.
2. He has 'Ai' in his name.
3. He chose to write in a fancy and provoking manner.

That's it. That's all the evidence I could find that he was generating his posts with AI.

Was he a jerk? Maybe. I can't even tell because he only really started acting like it after people accused him of AI generated content. But I really doubt he's AI. The matter was handled incredibly poorly by people and I for one don't want that to happen again.

Oh hey! My biggest hater. I’d knew you’d somehow make a really stupid point. I’m glad you don’t disappoint <3

Yeah, it's pretty stupid.

>an AI product will not have consistent context within their story, right? Why not hunt it within the context?
This can happen to anyone, so probably not the best metric either
