You wrote a novel using AI?

@Garwboy "I wrote a novel using predictive text on my phone and boy do my thumbs hurt!"

@Garwboy I made a delicious italian meal with Chef Boyardee.

@Garwboy

"Must"

Yeah writers have famously never been able to function without it.

Alllll the way back the Tale of Genji, all written with AI

Welp, whatever a Stephen Marche is, I wouldn't trust to tell me I'm not on-fire.
Addicts find all kinds of dope.

@Garwboy Competition...: ON.

@Garwboy more like using a Ford Pinto

@kevinrns @Garwboy That’s unfair. Occasionally they publish something without thinking about it first.

[kevinrns@mstdn.social]

@ScottGrimmett @Garwboy

Occasionally publishing worthwhile things does not prevent the "they suck" tagging.

@Garwboy Didn't the author of No Game No Life get shamed because they traced others' drawings without giving credit? So much so it's unlikely the anime will ever get a second season. Why do some people get used to those stealing machines?

[christiee@infosec.exchange]

@Garwboy I really do not see how people can write with AI. Sure AI is a good editor, but not to write the whole book. One half of it will not make senses and those dashes. I so want to correct all the dashes. That is me, I like to do things still old school.

@Christiee @Garwboy
It's a rubbish editor too.

Any good bits will be stolen. It only chops up and regurgitates. It's not remotely like a human being inspired by books they've read.

[christiee@infosec.exchange]

@raymaccarthy @Garwboy it can be and always the trick is to read it outloud make sure it sonds like you the writer. Grammarly works ok. I like reading outloud but still always looking for a better application.

[cstamp@mastodon.social]

@Garwboy Writers must?!!! What an arrogant take. Absolutely not.

[jackmexa4@mastodon.social]

@Garwboy

What if AI used YOU to write that novel.

#AI #Writing

[cstamp@mastodon.social]

@Garwboy I think articles like this get written and published just for the clicks.

[raymaccarthy@mastodon.ie]

@ChrisJagged @Garwboy
Gilgamesh
Homer
A true History (2000 yo SF)
Rider Haggard
Jane Austin
Dickens
All those depressed Russian guys,
Diana Wynne Jones
Terry Pratchett.

Never heard of Stephen Marche. Is he trying to trick the competition into producing junk?
Has he read many books in diverse genres?

@Garwboy "...using a Ford Focus.". A stolen Ford Focus

@Christiee @Garwboy
Grammarly is pointless.

Also theatre, movies, TV use "out loud" dialogue. Good writing uses a different style of dialogue as well as narration etc.

Poetry usually needs read out loud. Not Novels or textbooks.
