Its not healthy to be so angry on the internet. You should cook dinner with your mom instead. Do it with her not for her. She will appreciate the time you spend with her.

I didn’t know you thought Stalin intentionally organized the famine. I’m sorry you feel that way. :(

I appreciate the feedback, especailly since I had the misconception that the begining was better than the end. That information is useful asuming you wrote it, but this really feels like ChatGPT wrote it. If it didn’t, then I think that you need to be less verbose and have more focus. Not trying to insult you, but using ChatGPT and then going “ha you didn’t notice so it really has replaced writers” is what I got last time I tried to be charitable.

I don’t really see the Replica thing being any evidence of how amazing ai is. There are a surprising amount of people who feel genuine love for an inanimate sex doll, so in my view the Replica-stans have been playing pretend so long that they have created a personal madness. Its something that I’ve thought about for a while. I even used Replica at one point just to see, and I was amazed at how fake it seemed. It was like the Spongebob scene where you answer the door and the chocolate salesman says “I love you.”

I was very scared of AI for a long time because of how much effort I put into my writing. I felt like if I didn’t use chatGPT to write my commissions then I’d be left behind. I look back at my writing from that era and I feel kind of gross. I was able to write faster, but it was a crutch, and it read really, really bad. You could totally tell which parts I wrote and which part were edited by me. I was giving people an inferior product, and it made me feel bad. I stopped getting that many repeat customers during that era.

Now that I don’t do commissions anymore (unless you wanted me to write something), I put a lot of my focus on a novel I’m writing. I have written its words, and I will edit it into something that is uniquely mine. I really do not think that an individual writer’s prose is derivitave, precisley because I have tried and failed to use the paid version of AI tools to write some of my stories. I don’t think that it is a fair assumption that I am not a long term observer. While I wasnt there “from the begining”, I do still recognize the progression of AI. In a lot of ways I have seen negative progress, especially with ChatGPT. Over time it feels less like the ChatGPT I am familiar with and more like cleverbot.

I somewhat regularly use a different ai to write bash scripts, and it has been giving me more imaginary solutions. As a way to learn bash scripting it was a good tool, but after a while of reading its responses it is now quicker for me to just write my own. It feels more satisfying too, because I don’t find myself raging at how it gives me the same fake answer again and again.

LLMs make me unhappy because I don’t see any way that it is going to improve our lives. It just seems like a way to reward laziness and take away the joy of creating things. I can’t imagine how much worse it is going to make chat-based customer service, for example. The idea of a Comcast AI makes me shiver.

You said that you like keeping track of your writing streak. Have you tried giving yourself some sort of deadline and determining how many words per day you need to write in order to meet it? I think that I did not really improve much as a writer until I started to do commissions and had to obey deadlines.

What if we all see red when you see green? Can you prove it isn’t that way? What then? It’s worth considering!

Yes. We will hide behind the trucks and open them with a big sack. Its a long walk back to the portal, but caging down with your loot youre sure its all worth it.

Yeah but what specifically has he said about the Ukrainian famine? I stopped watching him years ago so I was curious if you knew.

This version of “love” makes me sad.

I dont feel like it but here is something I wrote with original prose, fitting the criteria of originality. As a favor for me arguing with you, please give me feedback on my prose

Not to talk down to you, but do you know what prose means? I actually used to not know what that word means so its not an embarassing thing to not know. That might be why I percieve you as “talking past me.” Prose is a writer’s style and choice of language. So purple prose is writing in an overly flowerly and annoying way. Every writer, regardless of talent and skill, has original prose. I think the only amount of practice required to be able to achieve this is to write enough to have a consistent style. So since you completed public school you also probably meet the criteria.

I have done the specific experiment I suggested using Dan Abbnet’s works with Chat GPT because I consider Dan to be my favorite author who makes repetitive pulpy fiction that I think AI idealy should be able to replicate, but it really can’t.

Are you upset?

The style of an authors prose is not derivative. Read your favorite book and then tell an ai to write a short story in the style of that author.

Unless you have trully blind taste you are going to notice just how wooden the ai writing is.

An excellent example will be some sort of pulp novel where the author uses canned phrases. Dan Abbnet has a very repetitive style that lends itself well to ai, yet ai can not write a convincing Ciaphas Cain story. Convincing as in, if you showed it to me and i didnt know what ai was, i wouldnt think it was fanfiction.

Doesnt Vaush have decent opinions on the Ukrainian famine or did he change his mind? I dont keep up with it.

Speaking of, if you wanted a primarry source of Nazi antisemetism then watch The Eternal Jew. It is a Nazi propoganda movie that a lot of colleges make students watch as an excersise to show the climate of antisemetism. That one uses the rat insult a lot, and has some really traumatizing photage of a dead guy in a ghetto covered in rats as people walk past him.

Watching that movie was very rough for me but I felt like I left with a better understanding of what living in Nazi Germany was like. I can’t imagine living in a world where something so brutal is just playing in movie theaters.

Thats totally true

Some jobs arent forvivving. At the coal mije i work at, being late can mean a permanent reduction in your pay. Its the only job that pays anything close to a living wage here, so you cant just quit and find a new one. You either get there on time or explain to your husband why he cant cook the nice meals he likes to and has to buy ramen.

Please dont clap. Loud noises scare me.
