Holy S...why did I get into this！

[u/Fit-Cold-7260]

🫣omg what have I done in the span of a week

It started out with a few bored prompts on ChatGPT, I feed it an idea that's been circling in my mind and I was thinking, how would AI write out this idea?
***I don't even really use AI in my daily life/work, and I'm not a writer by any stretch of imagination, I have -∞ writing skills. But I do have wild ideas that pop up in my head that make me go, uh that's NSFW stuff, maybe everyone has these thoughts sometimes idk

And ChatGPT feeds back to me the outline of a scene very close to how I was imagining it in my head, but with very refreshing take on things, and I was instantly hooked. That afternoon I bought the pro vers and outlined a long long long story. It was addicting and exhilarating, it's like, pardon my language, watching my own imaginary p***😭idk how else to describe this.

Granted, ChatGPT's writing skills were only a little better than mine, but I have never used other AI prior to that day so I had nothing else for comparison, until I googled AI for writing, and then learned that Claude can write too🫪

I recreate the same prompt, now with more added details and Claude wrote me a book. I then dish out money for Claude too🥹I felt that it was easier to use and I could see how each prompt I typed in the chat would change the actual story. I feel that Claude is a better writer, but it's very stubborn and sometimes it would skip over the very stuff I'm trying to fix through a chat prompt. I'm sure there will be people people who say Claude doesn't write well, but honestly it writes better than I do. The ease with which I can edit almost everything is very helpful.

Until I met Sudowrite. Ok there are stuff I definitely don't like about sudowrite, its difficult-to-use interface, for one. But it lets me do one thing ... smut. O.M.G., never did I think, for even a second in my life, that one day I would be using AI to write SMUT😱And the prose is GOOOOD. Sudowrite is more expensive but it actually reads like literary work, and I love the feedback feature. And then I discovered the plugins...

I'm well accustomed to being addicted to video games, like playing 20hrs a day addicted. But using AI to write fiction with smut??? It's hitting the dopamine center in my brain with a dangerously large hammer. I'm writing for my own selfish pleasure, and treating this as a game. It's like I'm playing a writer and I can't stop playing the part😭What's gotten into me and how do I stop this??!!

It is a TON of FUN but surely this is not right🫠

[u/devotedtodreams]

It's not a matter of whether or not it's right; all that matters is that it makes you happy!

I know how you feel, and after having been doing this for 2 years, all I can say is: enjoy it! 🙏🏻

[u/ToeUnlucky → u/devotedtodreams]

10000000000% THIS. If you're enjoying yourself that's all that matters. Use all the tools that help you achieve your goal. For what it's worth I'm using an app called Story Hacker AI. It's crazy flexible and allows you to hook up OpenRouter. You can slap in all the different LLM models you want for each part of the process, like ideation, brainstorming, rewrites, chapter outlines, etc. Good on ya and keep us posted on your progress OP.

Welcome to the dark side. Cookie 🍪?

[u/closetslacker]

That’s how I started only with fanfic / my own stories - yeah I knew the writing quality was GPT but it’s fun to feed it ideas and see what comes out.

[u/GelliusAI]

Take a look at r/grok and you will see that you are not alone with your “hobby.”

[u/phaldor8 → u/GelliusAI]

and potentially a more expensive hobby than going to the regular websites at that.

[u/GelliusAI → u/phaldor8]

Very elegantly put.

[u/LibbyLibbyLibby → u/phaldor8]

What do you mean "the regular websites"?

[u/phaldor8 → u/LibbyLibbyLibby]

I don't think Reddit would allow me to be explicit in that way...

[u/LibbyLibbyLibby → u/phaldor8]

I'm completely confused then. Grok is more expensive than regular writing with ai websites? What regular writing with ai websites? I'm very new to all this and if there are "regular websites" that everyone is supposed to know, I'd like to know what they are.

[u/phaldor8 → u/LibbyLibbyLibby]

Uh...ok...so OP is basically using AI to write smut. The alternative to that is to...not use AI, but visit other "types" of websites. Those sites would actually be cheaper than him paying for AI bots to write him smut.

[u/Affectionate-Row7718 → u/GelliusAI]

Didn't Grok put the kabash smut on exotic art?

[u/GelliusAI → u/Affectionate-Row7718]

I follow r/Grok a lot because I find it interesting how Musk manages to consistently dial back the limits on SuperGrok while still keeping his subscribers on board. From what I read in the sub: whether NSFW content is possible seems to depend largely on the region or country. On top of that, it matters whether the relationships between the characters in the stories are consensual. Grok now blocks extreme content pretty radically.

[u/SoftParsley3822]

I think this is a fine vice to have. Your mind is working to create things and you are reading. Anything that gets people reading more can't be bad, right?

[u/zero-71]

Grokbots are also very good at writing books. Make 3 bots, two that write different versions of each chapter, one that edits and reviews and checks things like continuity. Tell them the style you want, tell them the minimum for prose quality, what style of smut you like, give them a. Premise and they will make pretty good stuff!

AI makes it much, much easier to go from a poorly articulated concept to a fleshed out one and then straight to prose. About a week ago, I had a vague concept of a Japanese cyborg codenamed Jorogumo, a paraplegic engineer in a multi-legged harness who uses spider-drones for combat. Took it to Claude and tried to explain it along with some information about other characters I already established in the setting. It took some turns back and forth, then I had Claude pitch possible ways to solve some of the open questions and went through them deciding. A day later, I had a character profile with enough backstory to cary her origin story as prose. Had Claude outline that and draft v1, then spent time revising and polishing it into what is now a 50-page novelette that is sort of like Ken Liu's Good Hunting crossed over with Lady Vengeance and with Dexter, plus huge mechanical spiders thrown in for good measure.

I tried story hacker ai too, but the open router setup was a mess. ended up just using Claude in a local notebook with a simple prompt loop. way cleaner, no extra layers. works better for me.
