  1. People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    Wouldn't that be beautiful? There is divide between people who are for a pill that would make you physically fit and the ones who abhor idea and claim that without training this isn't "true". It's in part due to signaling, in part self-value derived from belonging to certain group, and surely...

  2. People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    I don't see a problem with this, although it would be toothless warning in absence of the way to verify the AI use. With necro (and I think that's a stupid rule) it is immediately obvious when the rule was broken. Also, I don't see a problem and it would be an empty gesture. I don't think...

  3. People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    Yes, but that's bit different, you are talking more about utility. In art, for example, there are people who care that the art is old. If they would discover it is "perfect modern forgery" they would feel tricked and wouldn't enjoy it as much anymore - despite nothing really changing. People...

  4. People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    I'm against indulging neuroticism of small portion of users, no matter what they claim is the reason of their neuroticism. Unfortunately, we don't live in the perfect world. We also shouldn't be forced to die, alas both AI detection without fail-positives and immortality is impossible for now...

  5. People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    It's unreasonable to demand "witch hunts" or to create some commission that will decide whether the fic used or didn't use AI. Maybe people who jump at shadows are the problem, and we shouldn't excuse them or indulge them? Hmmm. Yes. Some people just refuse to acknowledge that you cannot...

  6. People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    I detect it through reading, it is kinda obvious after a while, the telltales are there. Honestly, I don't care that much, most of AI-using fiction goes into the category of slop: forgetful, unengaging, inoffensive. The overall verbose style of writing that AI pushes doesn't help, even if it...

  8. People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    It's currently unfeasible. If it's so valueless, why the need for the label? It should be obvious. It's a common saying that 90%, or 95%, or 99% of everything is shit. And yet, there's no need to label things as "bad art". There's no fear that the sheer volume of bad art will make it...

  9. People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    I never even thought about it; interesting. Also, it may reveal how different people look at art. For example, I have always pretty much completely separated the artist from the art, and consider that interaction between the art and the recipient to be important, where meaning and beauty arise...

  10. People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    We don't need another excuse for a holier-than-thou mob of the internet's petty, narcissistic sadists so they could indulge in attacking and shaming people over inconsequential bullshit while keeping their masks of "good people". We have enough of this as is. *** There is an inherent...

    Thank you. I hope I wasn't being a hypocrite and didn't get hostile or insult you when we were disagreeing. Even if I do not always manage to, I try to talk to others as I wish to be spoken to. There's no need to get nasty because I think someone's wrong or I didn't convince them. In the end...

  12. People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    If you are unable to distinguish AI-prose and no-AI-prose, is the difference worth looking for? I've read story like this before AI. It was probably even more batshit insane that AI is capable.

  13. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Thanks, it's nice to learn something curious from time to time. I knew about the non-sexual meaning of rape, but always thought that's commonly accepted as a secondary, a niche meaning. A metaphor, a simile to get emotional weight across - but now I know that some treat it literally. I'm bit...

  14. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    I think there's a difference, but I get your viewpoint. Could you explain to me why removing sexual element from the rape is the default option and not just an excuse to call something a rape?

  15. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Haha, you got it. From a certain point of view, it is ;) Every talk changes the brain, and so unwanted speech is a "forcibly changing the brain". Ergo: the charismatic people are mind-controlling rapists. (Would such a defence hold in the court? "My honour, he talked to me! It was obviously a...
