Also wtf do you mean I have to make sure my hypothetical kid doesnt get AI psychosis??

So yeah, welcome to the beginning of the end of raw human creativity, where the only thing that "differentiates" us from other species erodes.

09.08.2025 02:10 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

And the scary thing is, even softwares cannot differentiate between AI and human writing. University students who write well are penalised, those who use it sometimes don't get penalised.

You can even write in ur mind, your dreams. I don't understand why we need LLMs for creative arts.

09.08.2025 02:10 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

But why use it in something as boundless as the creative arts? It's never been bound by the physical laws of nature, so why are we limiting ourselves to the sterile "perfect" work created by LLMs. Pick up a pen, look outside the window, write down what you see and there you go, a scene.

AI to speed up diagnosis of rare illnesses, a partner in programming, to be the data bank to circumvent the limits of how much the human mind can store in a lifetime's of learning. YES.

Same goes for art.

So yes, I hope LLMs neglect art and writing. Cuz they shld be used for great things that can be made greater.

Who do you think wrote the works that they are trained on?

Yeah, humans.

Oh, you're neurodivergent? Disabled? Need writing to be accessible? That's just a lame cover.

There are disabled, neurodivergent authors all through time. Many created masterpieces.

I also saw a reddit thread where the OP hopes that claude's new model will not "neglect creative writing" due to the decline in quality of creative writing.

Fuck. Them. And fuck all of yall who use LLMs to make creative writing and call it your own.

Recently, there have been news/rumours about AI scripts for shows

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

It was a gut punch for me

is the family tree even a tree atp 😭 i googled it and im pretty sure i saw a rectangle inside

08.08.2025 02:46 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

But theres a short story series I'm adding as a bonus to cover their relationship as well

08.08.2025 02:28 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

there is also #wlw in the novel, but it is a long established relationship before the events in the series happens

Sometimes relationships are ordinary

Under the encouragement of a friend, I wrote this relationship, had portions beta read by them before I incorporated it in
So yeah, I hope ppl enjoy it~

I never want to fetishise queer relationships and use it to bait readers, so i waited until it actually started to add the #bl tag in

Since Season 2 has started, I'm going to add a little #bl tag to my work because I didnt feel comfortable adding it while the first season was running (even though it was heavily implied)

Take pleasure in inflicting pain*

anyway, speaking about romance... as a writer, I felt a twinge of guilt when I was creating the subplot. It ends well, don't worry.

But exploring the dynamics of two men hurt in different ways requires emotional investment. I'm not devoid of emotions even though I inflict pain sometimes

okay I need to catch my breath...
