people using ai to generate fics is terrifying because large language models are getting better and better at approximating real writing, for the very reason that they steal more and more work from real writers every second.

ai generated writing has become sophisticated enough that often you truly have to rely on a gut feeling that what you’re reading isn’t written by a human. as bi says in her post, it’s the same as ai images that just have a certain look to them. sometimes there are specific “tells” you can pick out as evidence, but sometimes there aren’t.

ultimately what ai writing lacks is a true understanding of what is being written.

crucially, large language models aren’t actually intelligent. the way they work is simply predictive text on steroids. they generate words based on the words that come before - when they start a passage of text, they don’t “know” where it will go. this is why sources like chatGPT consistently give incorrect information, it doesn’t know what it is telling you, it is only regurgitating words in a human-like order based on the swathes of information it has stolen from other sources.

one thing ai writing will always lack is a true thought-out plot. it will constantly repeat itself. it will have plenty of adjectives and similes and “creative” synonyms, it'll be rife with cringey wattpad tropes as bi mentioned, because it is entirely unoriginal.

what frightens me is a future where the difference becomes indistinguishable to laypeople or casual readers, especially those who aren’t writers themselves. making accusations is near impossible without evidence and we don’t want a world where real art is dismissed simply out of ai paranoia, but the thought of a world where real authors are sidelined in the industry because readers are sated by robot-written slop is genuine nightmare fuel.

all this to say, i guess, is human writing can never be genuinely replaced if readers and writers are aware that ai generated work is hollow, meaningless, unoriginal garbage whose very production is harming our planet. or, rather, that readers continue to care that the art they consume is produced by a human being.

i honestly don’t know how anyone can stomach to read or enjoy work produced by ai knowing that there is no human feeling behind its creation. all i can do is hope the majority feel the same.

I love this because I'm sure "Pan Tedeusz" is probably a piece of media I'm unaware of but I know a priest who was called that as well and it's pretty funny to me to think of it that way

Since it’s Valentine’s Day, here’s my humble take on Period Drama Soapghost by amazing @valiants

BUT if they lived in Poland in 1811 (yes it is „Pan Tadeusz” reference)

I saw this image posted on reddit and it immediately made me think of this fic written by Hayfever_street. It is one of my favourite pieces of writing ever. It seems like smut at first (why I read it in the first place lmao) but the actual storyline is filled with so much mystery and suspense that kept me hooked throughout the singular night I read it in.

The story alternates between Ghost and Gaz POVS (at one point Soap as well) and the way those two are characterised is absolutely genius. The author is so skilled at what they do. I will pay people money to read this, and all their other works.
