|The Boars Melody| Follow the Boars melody through the woods, like the wind through leaves and moss. Follow its melody and shed your fears in the silence, to embrace its chants with the sound of rhythmic hooves on this ground you call your home.

Hear my words, Great Riashmanei, and I will deliver you paradise beyond your understanding. Riashmanei, I have divined our allegiance. I have cast aside the material world for seven days and seven nights until God wreathed me in the sight of you, red-coated and striped by the night, asleep in a bed of stars. Riashmanei, do me one service and you will never hunger, never tire, never want. Hear me. No other creature will come bearing such gifts. Hear me, please. Can you hear me? Yes, girl, I hear you. Get you from this place.

My story "This Kingdom, Your Ficus; It's Belly, Your Fig" is in the latest issue of khōréō magazine! In this one, the sorceress seeks out the tiger Riashmanei and offers her paradise--so what is she to do when the tiger refuses?

Writer denies it, but publisher pulls horror novel after multiple allegations of AI use

One of the first controversies of its kind.

buried in here is a warning: drop the rule of three immediately or they'll accuse you of being an LLM.

ai detectors are unreliable as fuck in academic settings i can't imagine the ones NY Times used for this are better

[elucubrare]

Yesterday, The New York Times published its own investigation, in which it “analyzed passages from the novel using several AI detection tools and found recurring patterns characteristic of AI generated text, like gaps in logic, excessive use of melodramatic adjectives and an overreliance on the rule of three.”

I can find a dozen novels written before they could be AI that have these patterns. “Excessive use of melodramatic adjectives” is just following a good 85% of online writing advice.

“If it isn’t AI, she’s a terrible writer” yes that’s very possible and it wouldn’t be the first time a terrible writer got a million dollar deal. Perhaps the publisher should raise their standards for purchase

[stjohnstarling]

The thing that's frightening about AI is that there is, in fact, no way to be completely certain what is and is not made with it by simply looking at the product. With apologies for bringing Marxist concepts into this (I am not a Marxist but I find this idea particularly useful for understanding how to approach AI) - the troubling presence of AI in commercial art is essentially a byproduct of Marx's theory of capitalist alienation.

Marx's theory of alienation describes the ways that the things you make become separated from you and your relationships because of the transactional nature of capitalism. I don't really want to get into the entire concept for just a Tumblr post, so I am just going to link to the Wikipedia article.

Of particular relevance to AI is this: when you are selling a novel, the relationship between you and the people reading your novel is transactional - you share no particular connection with the people buying your book other than that they are giving you (or your publisher) money. Your relationship is entirely abstract. The actual meaning of the story you've written - whether it’s entertainment or of importance to a particular culture - is more or less irrelevant to the transaction.

This is as opposed to, say, a story you wrote for your friends, or a cultural myth (alienation is so deeply embedded in our culture it is difficult to come up with examples of unalienated writing that I think will resonate with most readers of this post.)

AI is the ultimate expression of this kind of abstraction. It is the total absence of meaning implied by the transaction. The way to fight back against it is by restoring cultural and social connections between people, to write stories and make art that are an expressions of something shared between you and other people, as part of building a culture together.

Sorry OP for putting this on your post, this made a couple things click for me.

I think it’s weird and annoying that there’s this societal push for “let women be feminine again!!!” when there has still never been any acceptance for masculine women
