Questions and comments about rules and how the board works

Is my internal link to the RP forum okay? I didn’t think about it at the time. (Sorry)

That’s fine, you’re an active member anyway ( not to mention defacto staff)

You're not going to allow promotion of using AI, are you? That would be a real dealbreaker. I'm kind of pissed at some other site where the person who I think runs it posted a YouTube by some complete buffoon justifying his use of AI to basically write his entire book.

Absolutely not - we're fine with people using it for inspiration and spellchecking and shit, but not for writing.

From the rules

4) No content generated by AI... Workshop posts or general discussion.

using it for inspiration

YouTube clown's definition of this was 'write the entire first draft' lol.

Not a fucking chance. I learned the real way, so everyone else can too. Even the inspiration part bothers me a little bit. Our brains are flaccid enough as it is. But I suppose it's 2025.

Yeah, I hope you red guys don't mind my thread on how to use and how not to use AI. In it, I said not to use it to actually WRITE anything several times. Anyone advocating that, like in certain other places, p*sses me off no end.

I don't even really use it for spell or grammar checking - I use Word's Artificial Stupidity for that.

All good, baby. I'm sure Hemingway and Faulkner--hell, even Stephen King--would have a thing or six to say about basic Internet as cheating. I don't have a real problem with technology. But I do believe it's degrading us as a species. Even the most basic elements like interpersonal relationships and communication. It's a me problem, not the universe's.

Next thing you know I'll be yelling at the kids to get off my lawn.

I was under the impression this was required. I'm always watching out for kids on my lawn.

My brain hurts at the logic of creating a thread about using AI, while vehemently bewailing the use of AI.

I cannot express how much this very thing has been at the back of my mind for a long time now. It's kind of sad whenever I have to go to town, I'm the only one without his head glued to the phone. Except the old lady you end up talking to, who tells you about her husbands' cattle drive back in the flood of 67 cause it's raining outside, and yeah, things like that are more interesting than what Karen had for lunch via facebook.

I hear you, but what are you going to do? They said the same thing about TV in the 50s, and the Internet in the 00s, and social media in the 10s. At least our brains are melting slowly.
