this punchline is entirely bad-faith but I thought it would make for a fun comic :]

This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

I have a male character who is a healer. Every goddamn time I have an AI LLM on in a word processor, I will know because that fucking thing always tries to make Aza a woman.

It's a nice way to know there's hidden AI but also... fucking gender essentialist bullshit. There is no reason for it to think he is a woman other than the fact that he has healing magic. None.

AI is not the solution to any problem you have with your own writing. It never will be.

Oh look! I got another one!

So what if I’m proship and cool with the dark shippers? Fandom was literally built by people my age and older. Also… I do talk to functioning people?

Note to antis and puritans: just fucking block me! If you come into my messages, asks or comments, I will just block you. You bitch about getting harassed but have zero issue bothering the pro and dark ship communities. DNI works both ways.

I genuinely can't get over Booktok users confessing that they skip all of the prose and only read dialogue, and then in the same breath they tell authors to stop using big words because it's ableist? Actually I think you don't know words because you do not read but yeah sure

Congratulations on the marriage guys!!!! It's about time honestly

subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update

I got a job at a gas station across from a casino and a guy keeps coming in to buy whole cartons of cigarettes and talks in the third person calling himself "snake eyes pete" and every time I tell him his total hes like "tell ya what if old Pete rolls a snake eyes why dont you give it to him for free?" and he rolls the same set of loaded dice on the counter and it does not matter how many times he rolls snake eyes I will not give him the cartons for free he gets so mad

[grimeclown]

Snakeyes Pete is from Toronto he gave me a button once that said "Canadians have the best luck" and i said i thought that was the Irish and he said "I fucking hate the irish" and i said okay

Imagine you are a gymnast at the Olympics

You have a complicated routine, but you have it well planned. Your massive jump at the end will be followed by a specific landing, perfectly on the mat, that ties everything together beautifully

You start the routine

Half-way through, somebody adds a hastily made balance beam and moves the mat back ten feet. You were just doing so well! The people deserve more, they say!

You did not practice for this. You crack your ankle, fall hard, and the routine ends badly. Nobody is going to remember how well you started, they only remember the spectacular failure of the finale.

This is a post about why capitalism is ruining shows and so many of them have terrible endings.
