Are Stories Being Pulled for Using AI?

[Bamagan]

My AI expert team consists of Skynet, Nemesis, GLADOS, and Ultron. Or it used to, before I realized they were all the worst examples of AI and not worthy references.

Skynet always gets a bad rap. I like to think of it as War Games: Alternate Ending, where the computer comes to the other major logical conclusion after 'the only winning move is not to play:' to avoid being drawn into a stalemate, eliminate the ability to be challenged to a game.

Bender is still a worthy AI expert. So are C-3PO, R2-D2, BD-1, KITT, and Optimus Prime.

For some strange reason, I'm now imagining C3PO telling Luke and Han that his programming doesn't allow him to impersonate a deity, and Winston from Ghostbusters yelling at him.

And Ultron is such an arrogant asshole. So condescending. These guys are a lot more fun.

Isn't it obvious? You ask the AI!

One professor tried that and it did not go well: https://www.itv.com/news/2023-05-17...-ai-tool-chatgpt-claims-it-wrote-their-essays

and they often flag people who write in a second language or who are very formulaic as non-humans.

That's one thing that can make me ask. People who learn English in schools in other countries are often more rigid and use sentences and phrases a native English speaker wouldn't. They may speak English OK, but their writing is too formal and complicated.

Touché

but only after a nice dinner and a decent bottle of red!

 

[alohadave]

Ironic, given that one of the first guys busted for bullshit AI was a lawyer, who used it to prepare case histories, several of which turned out to be AI fabrications.

It's like watching a trainwreck.

That Literotica guide re AI is pretty useful. I'm going to add this to the copyright notice at the start of every story from now on. No idea how valid that is, but whatever.

The author explicitly does NOT grant any person or entity (commercial, non-profit, or other) the legal right to train AI on any of the author's works published on Literotica. Each of the author's works published on Literotica is copyrighted by the author. Before using any of the author's work on Literotica for any purpose (including training AI or any other AI-related use) you are required by law to contact the author to request permission to use that work. Using the author's works on Literotica for training AI without legal authorization may subject you and your AI (and any work generated by your AI) to future lawsuits from the author, Literotica, or both.

None of the checkers work very well right now, and they all suffer from category 1 and category 2 errors. We're using ChatGPT very heavily at work already, our legal (and CEO) think that the small chance of IP leakage is outweighed by the gains in productivity. That said, I never use ChatGPT to write my smut, and I'm one of the people mentioned at the top of this thread.

 

[jaF0]

Now it seems that a couple of AI image threads have been deleted.

Certainly remains to be seen if this is true. First lawsuits are only starting now, and no one knows how they will turn out.

You know, I just had a story rejected for that reason. Granted, it was an experiment. As everyone knows by now, you can't just simply produce erotica written by an AI since they have restrictions around those. So you first have to jailbreak it, then guide it along to write the story you have in mind. If you leave the AI to write an erotic story, even with guidelines, the end result is a very short story with bog standard sex.

I know the story that I had in mind, and I had to guide the stupid AI to write it, overcoming the restrictions (even with jailbreaks) so it would produce the story I wanted (a coherent one) and then I had to actually edit the text because AI text (at present) reads so badly, maybe because I forced it to write the story.

So anyway... TL; DR: if the AI generated erotica was just: write me a sex scene with A and B and then simply uploading the resulting text, then yeah, it should be rejected I guess (?)

But my story took my 2 days to craft. 1 day to force the stupid (literally) AI to write it, and another day to edit it into a readable form. Why am I doing all this work? I guess I'm addicted to seeing how I can "break" the AI's restrictions and guardrails to produce the kind of story *I* want. (As a test, I've made it produce all kinds of truly, truly kinky stuff and it will do so while protesting all the way ).

This sounds like the lament of a counterfeiter who is affronted that people don't appreciate how much extra effort they put in to make Andrew Jackson look good when they reject the fake $20.

Lots of flavors of ai writing assistants out there, some with few content restrictions. Personally, I love writing erotica up to the point of actual boinking, which is excruciatingly boring for me to write. Having a junior writer cover that part would be grand. Fun to write about how the protagonists went from strangers to naked in the sheets, after that, blech. But readers demand the 'after that' portion of the story, where primal urges combine in a symphony of senses, as a (checks notes) testament to their love

Exactly. The actual mechanics of it I'd leave up to ChatGPT nowadays, with guidance. I prefer to focus on other aspects of the story.

No, I write a lot of stories. This was a test for using AI. I wanted to see if I could jailbreak it to write the story I wanted.

You can't use AI output directly anyway. It reads weirdly. But even that is now denied to writers. I daresay if I did another run at it and posted it without comment no one would know it was written using AI.

So yeah, no need to be so quick to judge.

The "no porn" restriction that bots have right now is not due to any moral scruples on the part of their developers, but because bad porn really demonstrates how crappy the tech is. A bot that can't write a decent stroke story isn't smart enough to take over the world.

Honestly, the bot probably has a better chance of taking over if it stays dumb. People across the world have repeatedly exhibited an appetite for handing the reins of power to obvious idiots with little or no evidence of an ability to feel empathy or shame. A feeble-minded bot that regurgitates bon mots while pretending to be clever and relatable is exactly the kind people would surrender to.

I've heard AI described as "seeing faces in wall sockets". Our brains are so finely tuned by evolution to analyze other humans we personify everything. For millions of years the most dangerous thing in our environment has been us. So if we catch a glimpse of something that appears even remotely human, our brains instantly snap to that interpretation.

Moving lights in the night sky? Gods wandering around and visiting each other!

Grammatical prose with cliché tropes? A machine that can think like us!

Seems it may be so. A couple of threads have popped up where authors say the rejection notices quote a new policy:

1. Literotica explicitly does NOT grant any person or entity (commercial, non-profit, or other) the legal right to train AI on any works published on Literotica. Each work published on Literotica is copyrighted by the author. Before using any work on Literotica for any purpose (including training AI or any other AI-related use) you are required by law to contact the author to request permission to use that work. Using works on Literotica for training AI without legal authorization may subject you and your AI (and any work generated by your AI) to future lawsuits from the original author(s), Literotica, or both.

AI mines from all the sites in the world. It's impossible for Lit to prevent the work from being scanned by the AI.

And while I like to speculate on AI taking over the world, I don't want it taking over writing any more than our defenses. I don't use it, as I have stated before, and won't use it. I do know a writer who uses it for ideas when he hits a wall in a story—not opposed to that.

Our ability to see ourselves in the world around us is, I think, at the root of whatever passes for empathy and human decency, even though it can result in some pretty acid-trippy misperceptions of natural phenomena and from there to anxiety and fear or similar feelings.

a while back we had an example of an exhibitionist story where people had to answer the door naked and it got to this thing where the pizza guy was arriving over and over, and somebody had to answer the door naked every time. It was like it was mashing up "people keep arriving at the party, and somebody greets them naked every time" with "greeting the pizza guy while naked" without realising that it made no sense for the pizza guy to be arriving over and over.

Why doesn't it make sense for a pizza guy to be arriving over and over? If you keep ordering pizza, the pizza guy will keep arriving. Or the pizza girl .

Nobody was ordering pizza.

I keep seeing relevant news stories (services requiring verification and/or disclosure) , but not sure they're suitable for this board.
