So I used an unfiltered AI to write a story

[AG31]

If Laurel was ever going to consider opening up story moderation to volunteers, it would have happened by now. You open yourself to a cascade of potential problems once you start delegating and giving people access to what's behind the curtain, and it only takes one bad apple to cause a cataclysm. She's obviously weighed both sides of that equation, and decided that slogging away 8+ hours every single day doing it herself is less of a headache.

I quit Lush because of the inconsistency of the reviewers.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

Interesting. I found both stories equally annoying and lame. Gotta give credit to the machine, though, it did a great job mimicking chick lit crap.

It was easy to guess though. The first two overly long and clunky sentences that the human author wrote depict the kind of writing that ChtGPT, to its credit, simply doesn't do as far as I have seen. If this were a Lit story, the first two sentences would make me abandon the story. There are plenty of stories on Lit that are worse than what ChatGPT can produce.

Yeah, that opening didn't have me wondering whether it was written by AI, but whether the writer had actually ever written fiction before.

As well as the consistency/trust challenges...whatever the technical processes are for doing moderation, apparently they're processes that have been used by a single person over the last 25 years through a bunch of changes to the site.

That kind of thing can easily end up with a lot of "and then if the story has italics you have to hit Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A, except if it's Tuesday in which case remember to manually edit the config file first, then close the file and reopen it..." kind of complexity. When it does, handing it over to somebody else can get...fiddly.

Would you share a few paragraphs sample in this thread? I don't think that's breaking the rules.

I ask because most of the AI generated stuff I've seen is pretty yawn, but you seem jazzed about what it produced. It'd change my thinking on AI a bit if you're getting it to make stuff that impresses me.

Of course, you'll probably get some (aggressive) literary critique here. But you're kinda inviting that by making the thread?

ASK AG31 for the whole story. I sent it to that person in literotica mail.​

I won't do it here, because due to forum limitations, I had to copy and paste it into many, many parts. It's a pain.

Pester AG31 for it.

I don't mind inane hate frothing at the mouth - indeed, I invited it. But in a typical human behavior, it is better to censor and not show anything new. Best to put your head in the sand and/or cover your ears and shout "la la la" loudly. Reality, changing reality, be damned.

 

[AIwriter]

Fair enough. But we do get our fair share of people doing exactly what I described, around here, so it becomes a "if it walks like a duck" assumption. My apologies.

Ok, relax please next time and don't rush.

 

[countdowntolov3]

Pester AG31 for it.

Well, no. I'm not going to do that. Obviously.

 

[AIwriter]

"Well, no. I'm not going to do that. Obviously."

Why not?

I copied and pasted it to that user. I am not allowed to paste this story on this site.

If you want the story, ask AG31 nicely for it. I do not see why that user cannot do the same thing for you I did for that user.

Do they want to be your intermediary?

That's kind of a shitty thing to do, to make someone else responsible for distributing your story.

 

[Bramblethorn]

And of course it would be impossible to paste it anywhere else on the net and link it from here.

 

[secretLace]

I have played around with AI and writing as well just to get a feel for it. And its not bad if you know how to prompt it properly But being an at least semi-professional writer I prefer to write my own things. The joy of creation and all that. My guess is that the uncensored LLMs are not trained enough to produce good writing and the ChatGPTs of the worlds are to heavy on the censorship so you cant produce any real storys for Literotica.

So at the moment I'm siding with the ever silent Laurel in trying to keep it out before they have sorted out the legal stuff around it and it has seeped into all aspects of out daily life and there is no stoping it.

Yeah... I think it's already there. I'm not happy about it. I routinely deal with AI on the job, and I'm convinced it's a losing battle.

The US Education Secretary is calling for MORE, not less, AI in early grades. I'm not sure it matters what she says, since AI is already firmly ensconced in the schools. I believe it's among the worst things that can happen to a young brain, but nobody is interested in my opinion.

The fruits of this poisonous tree, if they ever appear, should start making their effects felt right around the time I'm needing care from geriatric specialists a robot AI physician that uses an algorithm to treat me. It's difficult not to feel despair at that prospect.

OTOH, OpenAI is still losing two dollars for every one they make. If they're successful enough at rent-seeking and special pleading for exemption from copyright laws, they may be able to make the business sustainable, but currently that's a race against time and I'd hesitate to bet on who's going to win it.

Sadly, I never bet on humans to do the right thing, in any instance.

I strongly suspect the humans who could let AI wither by letting it go insolvent will just keep on funding it instead, because they want to be the Steve Jobs of AI.

I do imagine a possible future where an AI category is added to the site, though it would be a monumental headache to figure out and then maintain. That's a level of consistency that would be very, very difficult to sustain. I'm not surprised that it's easier for Laurel to simply ban it outright, at least for now.

God, I hope not. This is a site for writers, not AI wannabe hacks. I have been at Lit for quite sometime and one of the things I appreciate is Laurel and Manu's consistency. While at times I may not agree, I do support their decisions.

Most of my work is in the 5K+ range, but I support the 750 work minimum limit. I submitted pieces in the 750 Word Challenge a short time ago and I enjoyed writing something that fit neatly into a tight little box.

If you don't like a category, don't read it, don't whine about it. I don't like GM or LW, so I don't read or submit to them not a big deal.

Stories are taking about the same amount of time to process as they did 20 years ago. And I or one, I am glad to see the volume of stories being published, it gives me hope we aren't becoming an illiterate society.

 

[Voboy]

If you don't like a category, don't read it, don't whine about it.

Well, yes. Hence my suggestion to put it all in one category. Which I would never read.

I hate AI with the flaming passion of a million suns. But it's here, and it will stay. Prohibition won't work with it, any more than it works when the government tries to ban drugs. We should be thinking of ways to blunt its impact, rather than fighting a losing battle to make it go away.

Humanity is monumentally stupid to advance this senseless technology, but I am unlikely to convince the millions of starry-eyed naifs who think it's the Next Awesome Thing. They're not listening to me.

I have no use for AI and have deleted it/rendered it inoperable on all of my devices. I'm sure there are sites that permit AI written stories to be published - where - don't know, don't care.

 

[onehitwanda]

Labeling something as AI-enabled is a surefire way to get me to refuse to use it. I don't need more well-intentioned but mental interns in my world.

 

[LoneMilf]

The process was, me prompting, AI writing. Some prompts were involved (with me writing complete dialogue and scene), some less detailed, and some were basically nothing as I just clicked "continue" (actually "send button" but whatever).

The story was sent back, because obviously the story is written (70%-ish) by AI LLM and 30%-ish by my prompts. And Literotica wants ONLY stories written 100% by humans per guidelines.

Never the less, I wanted to share, because it is an incredible story, which showcases what an unfiltered LLM can do.


Perhaps Literotica could create a separate category, JUST for stories made (mostly or wholly) by AI writers?

If not, oh well, no biggie. Cheers humans.

I don't share the fear of AI as a tool for generating content and would be very curious to see what you got. Would you mind sharing it on PMs or e-mail?

 

[M_K_Babalon]

Fuck AI that has anything to do with human creativity, thought, and spirit. Fuck it. It's not gonna go anywhere, because it's the easy way out, and humans like easy.

There are sites that are not so picky where you might get away with publishing an AI story.

Not that I'm suggesting you find ways to violate the rules, but did you run the story through and AI humanizer?
