Saved you a neuron
The novel, titled "Darkhollow Academy : Year 2," ~~penned~~ AI-generated by ~~author~~ sham author Lena McDonald, falls under a romance subgenre called "reverse harem," which conventionally follows a female protagonist with multiple male partners.
Wow, these dipshits don’t even take a few minutes to proofread their output and edit, do they‽
That right there is one of the biggest issues with the very many issues with Ai: people trust it blindly, even after countless examples of how stupid it can be
I played around with using an local LLM to generate some short stories as a test to see what writing a novel would be like.
it was easy to generate, but it only followed about 70% of the prompt and I had to do drastic rewrites along with serious proofreading for two reasons.
I'd like to use it as a creative scaffold, but honestly it's not even worth the effort. it's impossible to track characters, their arc, and all the plot devices. maybe in 10-20 years we'll be there. until then it's just slop.
I miss when people actually had to put in some kind of effort to plagiarize. It's depressing to consider just how easy it is now to rip off someone's work without it being detected, and these sons of bitches are profiting handsomely on it.
The fact it's now super easy to generate content and copy others means people won't be motivated to create many original pieces.
Which in turn means less material for the AI to train and copy, and at some point, it will become obvious it's recycling variations of the same initial training set.
One example where this is not just a theoretical: SEO people quickly figured out they could ask AI to edit an article and it would rank better for all keywords selected, so they did. But the AI is just mixing snippets from other sources with their own quirky language. So now everyone's pages look the same, and provide no original material, so they are back to ranking lower because they're all fighting with the same amount of information.
Oof, not a single neural connection was used in that book.
It's the third time this happens.
Is this article AI? Because the dumb ass title reads like readers are ANNOYED that the prompts were left in instead of the fact that they've been tricked into paying for AI pigshit. Who the fuck gets ANNOYED at being defrauded and lied to?
