Trite, the Suffering Writer Man

My writing cm have reopened! From short stories for VTubers, manga scripts, novel reviews, and even the elusive full novel—my VGen is a one-stop shop for everything writing! Check the images for the details! Contacts and links are on my bio!🔁are appreciated!

@pikatl Good egg.

drew an egg

I'm 90% convinced this is the reason I have terrible migraines and we'll only find out in like 20 years.

In before this becomes the new artistic nudity trend with Twitter artists.

Hmm. Okay, yeah. I think I get it now.

@Sharkurin What the actual fuck was that comment. People online are so weird, I swear.

But.. I prefer woman tho?...

@TanukiiAraiguma Nice Rorschach test you got here

I really need to start working more on this..

If you do a blind test with laypeople, they will tend to prefer the AI writing style. It’s only us weirdos with high-brow (read: objectively correct) taste that notice this stuff and learn to despise it. This suggests that the explanation is not some kind of mistake or error. ChatGPT uses negative parallelisms because, somehow, to the majority of its audience, they constitute “good” writing. As somebody who is kind of obsessed with rhetoric, I think the answer is pretty obvious: people process information better when it is strongly contrasted. It is often insufficient to tell people “what something is” if you do not also tell them “what it is not”. You’ll notice I just used Negation like 3 times in the preceding paragraphs and imo it is an incredibly effective technique. Perhaps I’d even go so far as to assert that the fundamental unit of communication is neither the bare assertion nor the atomic truth value, but *difference*. Parallelism is then another One Neat Trick you layer on top of Negation to improve ease of comprehension. With parallel sentence structures you are literally reducing the amount of grammatical/structural information that the person has to process in order to digest your point. It’s a cheat code. Read the writings of any good orator and you’ll see it littered everywhere. And the simplest form of bashing these two techniques together is the Negative Parallelism: it’s not X, it’s Y.

@TanukiiAraiguma That's basically what writing is in general 😆

@TriteWrite Writer is such a strong word.. I prefer the term "I have nightmares and sometimes write them down cause it's funny"

Do we see a pattern here..

everyone who enjoys reading novels should try to write a scene. even a paragraph of a scene. try to get someone in and out of a room. will change how you read forever

I've always assumed my aphantasia was a nerf when it came to writing, but actually, it might be an advantage. I've never described a little movie in my head *because* I don't have a little movie in my head *to* describe.

@JamesAllenMaxey Now to get accepted into those events... *sigh*

This is the ultimate line against AI and algorithms. It's unlikely anyone who takes shortcuts in writing a book will invest the time and effort to handsell. And, in the real world, people are hungry for the kinds of quirky, unique work that gets buried by algorithms.

@TanukiiAraiguma I'm too much of a realist; what can I say? No whimsy on my watch! (btw I'm sharing mine because I just adored this angry little cat 🤣)

@TriteWrite NOOO THE WHIMSY OF PERSONALITY TESTS NOOOO TRITE DONT DO THIS TO MEE

If I kept a tally on everytime these tests call me an overthinker..my poor walls

@TanukiiAraiguma So you're a writer too, I see, I see.

@TriteWrite Very poorly written mini-books I used to write in middle school

@ProfessorLeoTTV Gaming chairs are a scam, buy an ergonomic office chair, way cheaper and better for your back.

RIP to my gaming chair, not even 1 year old, and the bottom plate for the seat broke off the leg, causing it to wobble and make a ton of noise, sending it for return, but not confident I'll get my money back for it :/

@TanukiiAraiguma No exaggeration to say Portuguese water is the best in the world. Bottled water in foreign countries tastes worse than our tap water...

Po caralho

[AnS] Hey, did I ever tell you guys that I finally got published? The first chapter of my light novel, Akuma no SOUL, was published in this month's edition of DanganMagazine, a manga magazine in Portugal. Subsequent chapters will be released on Slash, their digital magazine.
