The witch hunts over AI are so obnoxious. Yes, AI can have certain quirks; it picks them up from the writing it steals.

That and you can pull em dashes from my cold dead hands.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel you. I love my dashes. I also have personal beef with genAI because I stumbled on an unfinished work of mine this year, an adaptation of Green Eggs and Ham written in the style of Shakespeare, and realized that if I ever finish it, anyone who sees it will think "so what, ChatGPT can do that."

I hate Generative AI in general but I especially hate it because I love using the emdash in my fanfic writing. Now I'm afraid if I use it people will accuse me of using Chat GPT. This fills me with dread.

[(Anonymous)]

Same, OP. People jump the gun way too fast because they want to feel clever about detecting AI. It's ridiculous.

[(Anonymous)]

The AI hunters can take the dash from my cold dead hands. I've been using it well before this bullshit and this isn't going to stop me now.

[(Anonymous)]

If your problem is with people assuming that you are an AI because of your writing style, isn't your problem with those people rather than the AI?

[paperghost]

Same!!! I'm still going to do it though...

[tabaqui]

I'm over on Reddit scrolling around and so many posts have people going 'AI SLOP!!' in the comments like....really? 'Normal people don't talk like (quotes example)!!'. Really? How do 'normal' people talk. Crappy grammar, unfinished and/or run-on sentences, and no punctuation? Wtf.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't tend to give a shit about technical details when it comes to identifying AI--it lends itself to having everything /technically/ correct but lacking human traits like "keeping track of characters" and "describing things in reasonable but interesting ways".

HARD SAME

My brain works in em dashes and parentheses. I wouldn't use the latter in fic, but I've been known to abuse the former.

But LBR, em dashes are discouraged in general for a reason. They're informal get-arounds. Perhaps AI is holding a mirror up to some of our lazier writing techniques, and it's jarring to see our reflection.

Of course fic is fic, and the typical fic audience is more concerned with content than style. So unless you're involved with a group of serious writers, I can't imagine anyone calling you out.

The idea is kind of humorous, though, when you consider the transformative nature of fic. There's a lot there to unpack academically if one were so inclined.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not going to stop anything that I'm doing because of AI. I'm going to write like I always have.

Do you not have any invites left? Because that is the only reason I can think of you for not being able to send an invite to yourself.

[Fandom: Power Wash Simulator 2]

My significant other is looking forward to Power Wash Sim 2, and impatient for the release date. The first game gives me motion sickness, so I really don't want to play the second one, but they love it so much I hate to disappoint them by not doing it. Guess it's time to get some motion sickness bands, ginger pills, and Dramamine and just deal!

[Fandom: The Shield]

I don't know why I'm still watching. I got into it for this one actor, but the character is laughably unlikeable.

I hate most of these people, the storylines are so bleak, and yet I'm mid-way through the second season.

Morbid curiosity about how bad it can get? Hoping in vain for some satisfying resolution?

I just don't know.

Finally in a position to write new fanfic for the first time in years.

Current fandoms all being so uninspiring that I have no inspiration for it.

Elizabeth Taylor is a great song but the focus of the album was on luxury from the start. It's Showgirl. It's meant to be expensive. It's why her friends are draped in Gucci and scandal and she likes it. It's why she namedrops Musso & Franks, the first restaurant to have a Hollywood star of its own. It's an album in love, out loud, with big things, fancy things, and unapologetically so.

It's a great album, a lot of fun, and she doesn't need to tailor her OWN experiences to anyone else's tastes. She's a billionaire. She doesn't have the same experiences a lot of people do. These are her experiences, her experiences in the life of a showgirl.

Smallville's Lana Lang is too pretty, like she's not even a human. I could never relate to her as a character. Chloe and Luther were my faves from the series.

Fun fact I knew a Lex/Clark shipper IRL in my college class, so I wanted to get into it but couldn't.

My half birthday was earlier this week. I haven't thought about my half birthday since I was a kid and it mattered whether I was five or five and a half, but now my favorite character's birthday is exactly six months from mine, so I have a reason to notice it again. I got myself a cupcake.
