Using AI.

I've used AI to generate ideas a couple times but not for the story.

One of my stories has AI (from before the ban, and Laurel was informed) for a couple verses of a chant.
 
I’ve been experimenting with it. Can lay out the bones, but it’s a little stark. You have to flesh it out. But it could take away some of the writing.
 
I refuse to use AI, spell check, or shit like Grammarly for my writing. The net effect of that crap is to homogenize the written word so the author's voice and the voices of his characters are lost in a bland miasma of language that's been approved by some fucking corporation.
 
No. AI will never, ever emulate my style. I am unique. Like everybody else.

And the shine is coming off the apple, anyway. I've been reading multiple articles about how inaccurate AI bots have become, especially the ones that scrape the larger Internet for source material. A recent court case was cited as an example, where the lawyer used AI to generate his filings. Nearly half the citations were not only wrong, most were non-existant.
 
I haven't used AI for anything creative, but I have read a couple of AI-generated stories out of curiosity. They had excellent grammar but were pretty bland and lifeless. Yet, sadly, they were still not below the average Lit story.

That being said, using AI to generate any type of "art" defeats the whole purpose of it, in my opinion. I want art to come out of an imaginative mind and an emotional soul, and I want the smut that I read to come out of the perverted mind of a sexual deviant such as we all are. Consuming AI-made art is the culinary equivalent of eating unseasoned broth. It lacks flavor, and it fails to excite your senses.
 
I tested the AI to make me some funny Skyrim skits, and it didn't take long before it was obvious that LLMs can't come up with original ideas since I kept feeding them, let alone the outputs turning repetitive as hell, and completely voiceless. You know that corporate art style that everybody hates? Like that, but with text.

Even stuff that I find legitimate, like Grammarly, is crap for creative writing. I used Grammarly once many years ago, and I've never had a thing to edit my story to the point that it was less of a story and more of a strange memo you'd say "oh damnit, the boss' secretary is drunk again."

Don't use AI. The effort you can put in writing those prompts is better spent in writing the thing yourself.
 
And I should point out to you guys that you are feeding the monster. Don't think every correction you make in your tweaks to your script isn't being incorporated into its knowledge base.

I rest assured that the story I uploaded not only is unpublished, but it was also one of my worst works, so if anything I'm purposely feeding it garbage so it can die...

...though it is already dying considering that image generators are now being trained with AI generated images and is producing worse outputs, meaning that AI will inbreed itself to implosion. I'll bring the popcorn if you're interested to watch the shitshow.

They were never accurate. LLM is a sophisticated autocomplete. It doesn't know anything. All it does is place words in order based on the statistics of what it has ingested.

All you need to do to verify this is to ask it something you know about. You'll quickly see where it breaks down.

Generative AI "art" is not only soulless, but is also bad for the environment and takes jobs away from actual live humans. So many writers have lost their livelihoods because publications would rather have AI generate articles based on SEO buzzwords than pay someone to write it. Likewise, many visual artists have lost revenue because it's so much easier now to feed a prompt into an AI engine and have it generate images based on artwork that has been scraped from actual human artists without their consent.

Not so say all AI is bad; if it legitimately makes someone's job easier, then by all means. But by and large, anytime AI is asked to come up with work comparable to a human being, all it can do is cobble together an inferior product stolen from people.

If you care about the integrity of your work and just about other human beings in general, don't use any generative AI in any creative effort you put out there.

I understand this argument, to a degree. And I sympathize with professional artists losing work to AI.

That said, im NOT a professional writer. I dont get paid to write, I have no budget to pay an artists to create art for me.

Im not taking money out of anyone's hands by creating a quick AI image of one of my characters to post on social media in an attempt to catch their eye to come read my story. Because there is no money for me to put in anyone's hand.
