On reviewing Yellowface, by RF Kuang, once again reminded that Ursula le Guin said it first and best:
Leave it Unread@leaveunreadpod
Here's one for all the haters and the losers: RF Kuang's Yellowface, reviewed.

LLMs write like this because they aren't embodied, and their entire understanding of language is the statistical relationships between words. So, you get the nonsensical metaphors & descriptors of the kind you see below. What does it mean that "her dress caught and released light"? Did it glitter, did it glow? Was it very colorful? These sentences are written via statistical probability, and not anchored to the observation that one thing in the world is like another, and that can take you strange places. Unfortunately, this can read as a kind of dime-store Arundhati Roy; as "good" writing. It's the kind of thing you fight a lot teaching writing to humans.

i love when fic writers insert niche knowledge (about a city they know well, their profession, etc.) into their fics

one of my hottest takes about fanfic is that saying you were 'traumatized' or ‘betrayed’ by unfinished fics is entitled and needs to stop NOW. ew! ew ew! it devalues the experience you had with what was written and it's a very capitalistic, consumerist mindset to have about art.
emmy🍇@ockleibi
the way ppl talk about abandoned fics is GROSS! no you were not traumatized or betrayed you got to read a piece of art moving enough that you became invested. that’s a privilege no matter what. fanfiction is not a product & radical gratitude will make your life much better

I do go back and read comments. Regularly. Especially on days where I question every word I've ever written and want to delete it all. Especially !!! Then !!! So if you've ever left me something kind and encouraging on a fic, I love you 💝
