“…Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion… Women with the kind of walking that makes benches become men…”

Can AI write literature and get away with it? On May 16, the Commonwealth Foundation announced the regional winners of its Short Story Prize. A few days later, the winning entry from the Caribbean, “The Serpent in the Grove,” by Jamir Nazir of Trinidad, was drawing attention online because some people thought it, and other prize-winning stories, reads uncomfortably like AI-generated text. The story, which was published on the literary magazine ‘Granta’’s site after being selected, is crammed with metaphor and simile. Some descriptions are even bizarre: “The girl smiled like sunrise over a sink”; “She had the kind of walking that made benches become men.” There are other hallmarks of AI writing, like negative parallelisms and anaphora, or the repetition of words at the beginning of successive sentences or clauses. Razmi Farook, director general of the Commonwealth Foundation, said that the prize committee does not use AI checkers in the judging process, calling those programs “not unfailing or infallible.” (Several people online said that AI-checking tools deemed “The Serpent in the Grove” to be 100 percent AI generated. ) “All shortlisted writers have personally stated that no AI was used and, upon further consultation, the Foundation has confirmed this,” her statement reads. A concurrent statement sent by ‘Granta’ publisher Sigrid Rausing was less sure, writing that she and her colleagues ran the story through Claude, which concluded that it was “almost certainly” written with the help of an AI tool, though it might have a “human core.” A representative from ‘Granta’ confirmed that its editors did not participate in the selection.

two of my conspiracy theories are that this movie was both part of a group of films meant to bolster confidence in the air travel industry post 9/11 and as a throw away film to study audience reaction to specific aesthetics for future comic book films.

This is a fun movie and it’s a shame we didn’t get a whole world build off of it.

hey man is everything ok? I noticed when we fled a scary cave you ran head first into every single stalactite, and every single stalagmite you tried to hurdle hit you squarely in the crotch—meanwhile i was weaving though the very same obstacles with no issue, like the wind itself

the prose in my latest novel is so breezy, people can read all 500 pages in one sitting and remember nothing about it, and the prose in my 500 word flash fiction piece is so turgid, not even one reader has ever finished it, but they all have a million opinions about what it means

writing tip for short story writing degenerates out there who find themselves in a rut—sometimes reading an unhinged story can liberate you from said rut by demanding your acknowledgement that anything is possible

I have a new story @3ammagazine. Actually, it's been up for a few weeks. [I've been drinking in a shed.] It's called "Quincy the Calvinist Turtle." I have been trying to publish it for a decade but was constantly told by editors, "We can't publish this. It's unhinged." Link below

“mandalorian and grogu” is how I have always referred to fiction and poetry, and I’m sad that they are now making it mean something else

@UriBram The convenience of only having to click buy once, the private flex of being able to afford it, and the psychological satisfaction of adding an entire volume to your personal library… would appeal to people with more money than they know what to do with.

can anyone explain me this price scheme (from YouTube)? 13 episode series, it's unquestionably better value to buy each episode individually than to get the whole season for both HD and SD

Plants are probably pretty stoked when it rains. They probably really vibe with sunshine as well. I guess winter can pretty tough for them though.

We need a new “We Didn’t Start the Fire” song about recent current events, but not by Billy Joel, by one of those new cool people that have a billion followers on tiktok, like Amanda Spaxola or Devirka jeMure or whatever their names are
