Lesbian. Used to tweet about writing and games; now I scream about the portents of f-cism to an uncaring void. It does not pay the bills. Hire me? (He/She)

The smartphone really revolutionized the waiting room. Oh I get 20 minutes to look at my phone? Don’t mind if I do. The only problem is sometimes when I’m looking at my phone at home my home starts to feel like a waiting room and I realize it is and I’m just waiting to die

here's my take no one asked for: grammar is part of writing, and if you would like to improve at writing, you should learn the rules of grammar instead of relying on grammar checkers. because then! you can break them! obligatory fuck genAI and the talentless hacks that use it

@bugbugbugg I follow enough anarchists on Twitter that I temporarily did not realize this was about a video game

broc | wrote newlywed games + plane crash
and anyone who's an actual writer knows this bc we've all had some random family member tell us about their million-dollar novel idea and act like we should be grateful that all we have to do is write it for them
frances 🏒@IlyasCigarette

THIS. it sounds harsh but it’s true, and it’s okay that not everyone is a writer. not everyone *needs* to be a writer. having ideas is not enough to claim yourself as one - you’ve got to be willing to turn that into words on a page that you yourself have crafted.

@mirtadella @swornrival I’m not sure it IS easier to learn how to write than to draw, tbh. I do think it is more common for the basics of writing to be taught in school than the basics of drawing, though.

@swornrival It always surprised me that people have much lower tolerance for bad visual art than for bad written art. It's so much easier to learn to write than draw technically correctly but somehow people are much more lenient toward bad writing and aren't able to spot low quality writing

as far as vague theorizing about fandom etiquette goes, it does strike me as curious that fanartists have been far more successful in blacklisting AI content creators as grifty threats to their ecosystem and in getting their audience to agree that Ai "artists" should be called

@swornrival anyways to answer your q, i think people have deeper relationships to writing bc it takes investment and effort to read. you can’t really compare a longfic to an illustration. when you get duped as a reader, it hurts more and so ppl are more personally defensive about it.

Our only car just broke down and I have a bunch of important doctors appointments coming up that I cannot miss. If my partner can’t get to work we’re going to end up homeless because my medical issues have depleted any savings we’ve ever had. I’m fucking spiraling.

@fenrismancers I still haven’t finished it 🫣🫣 I didn’t hate it haha. I just have neurological issues that make it really hard for me to game more than 20 minutes at a time, and Veilguard *was* disappointing. Even with so much empathy for the devs, I miss what wasn’t there.

@MothNessMonster After my favorite coworker and I voiced in on how a process needed to be done had our 15 year industry vet coworker go “I plugged the question into AI and this is what it said” and my coworker responded with “I could’ve told you that without AI 🙄”

I bring a real “being anti-ai is not a vibe-aesthetic, but a fight for our survival” energy to the function, which the people who are anti-ai (“but don’t be mean to people who use it!!”) really don’t like

GenAI is genAI is GenAI… it’s poisoning black neighborhoods, heating up our planet, stealing our water. What is so hard to understand about that? Why is it so hard to grasp that even one prompt is one too many. You’re contributing to the poisoning, heating, and stealing.

There’s no way to tell based on this tool how the author used AI. If they wrote the whole thing, then asked Claude to a) translate, b) check for grammar, c) change names, etc., the entire thing will still show up as being generated by Claude. +

@xxJayxxxx @faerie_ground AI data centers are literally killing people. *That* is the harm being done here. Forgive me for not falling for this “the real victims are the people benefiting from other people’s suffering” narrative.

some of you are more concerned with the feelings of these “authors” who are being put on blast for using ai for their fics than you are for the environment and the marginalized communities that are actively being harmed by their ai usage

@xxJayxxxx @faerie_ground Eh. The thing with a “witch hunt” is that there’s no such thing as witches; witch hunts are tools used by the oppressor to condemn the oppressed But in this particular case, everyone being held accountable IS guilty, and has actually aided the oppressors
