Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

Art for Captain Wayne, Vacation Desperation, styled after old pulp novel and old video game covers. Wayne is posed with his back to the viewers, propping out a leg and holding up his gun arm while pointing up. Steel Stan, a detective with a long nose and detective coat with a collar that covers his mouth, has an arm stretched out with his gun as he looks behind him. In the background, the main antagonist (King) floats in the background with a menacing grin and curled hand. King’s cape reveals several portraits of the Killer Whales, the reoccurring baddies in the game. The title reads “CAPTAIN WAYNE” and “Vacation Desperation: A Bloody, Gory Campaign of Revenge!!”

digital painting of King, a large robot from Captain Wayne, with a vampire's cape and a large wine glass full of a mysterious bubbling teal substance. a little blood drips from the corner of his mouth, and there's a bloodstain on the medallion clasp of his cape.

Engraved with names like Minecraft Notch
