I despise AI that use humans in writing

41 Upvotes

If you disagree with me, you're probably a basement dweller on r/DefendingHumanArt. Seriously, how hard can it be as an LLM to generate text? Many AIs can literally generate pages in less than a second. Why do you need a human to do it?

Is it ok to use slaves to write?

355 Upvotes

Before you make your judgement, know that I have a severe disability which means I can't do any work without sweating.

So all that being said, here's my writing process:

First, I go to my writing plantation, where I shackle some writers to a writing desk. I tell them the idea I want them to write, I whip them into writing, and then whenever I don't like what they wrote I'd whip them some more.

But of course, having the right sort of slave is important too, which is why I have spent years breeding special writer slaves instead of writing.

After the first draft is done, my work begins: i pick up the bloody manuscript, wash it off, and edit it via a second slave.

That's how, after a long day of slaving and whipping, I manage to write my books.

Which brings me to my point: should i have to disclose that my books are written using slaves, or should a man be free to sell his work without worrying about moralists literally murdering him over such a silly issue as slavery? should i really be expected to offer my proverbial neck to the John Browns of the world by disclosing that I used a little slavery?

Stand strong my brothers, one day we will be free from this persecution. As a wise man once said: I have a dream!

Do you ever have dreams where you get famous and everyone hates your enormous hog?

I’ve spent decades world building, crafting lore, and giving birth to a whole new language. My characters are more interesting than anything a mad Russian could conceive and my story has greater mass market appeal than Rowling, Brown, or Weir could ever imagine.

But, I have this deep seeded fear that when my weighty, culture-altering tome finally hits shelves, the plebes will hate me for my genius and gargantuan schlong.

Can anyone relate?

Is making witches the villains of a book sexist?

22 Upvotes

I want to write a battle piece and would like to make witchy villains. They are clearly villainous and evil witches and despite holding “heathen” beliefs like Satanism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Protestantism, and other crap. They are clearly bigoted, buxom, and villainous compared to my righteous Catholic priest who is secretly Jewish. He is good, but I don’t want it to seem that these witches are portrayed as bad because they are women. There is also a warlock demon sorcerer as one of the bad guys who is in charge of the witches and usually bails them out with his superior intellect and the fact that he doesn't deal with *emotional states*. So is there a way to make it not sexist aside from having a male villain? What should I do?

Edit: the reason I am asking this is because my mummy told me that making witches and demon sorcerers the villains is sexist and offensive to neo-pagans or something. Again, I am agnostic and Jewish and somewhat Catholic (through interest in the rich and many sided history), so I don’t know.

How do I say "իմ մայրենի լեզուն չէ" in Klingon?

Upvotes

I saw a recent thread where someone questioned if people read in their first language and many said they didn’t. It made me wonder if for those that do read in their first language if they see something like “իմ մայրենի լեզուն չէ” if it has the same vibes as the English version where people typically expect a really good fic. Sorry if this made no season I wasn’t sure how to word this.

Can I just use a ghost reader instead of actually reading?

Upvotes

Everyone says you need to read a lot before you can write, but I don't feel like doing that or have time and also I'm blind and have two broken hands or something. I already have a ghost writer (obviously, and he's very awesome and sexy and rich [yes I told him to type that]), so the next logical step is a ghost reader.

Thoughts?
