I did confirm that my mom was watching ER when it aired which means that when I was born and my mom went on maternity leave, she was watching ER around this timeâŠ
Almost every time I read a Shawn hatosy character fic I get to giggle because as someone who has freckles and hazel(ish) eyes irl, itâs not often that I get to see people romanticizing those things
Seeing a looooooot of "AI witch hunts" in fanfic communities these days, and Lord I wish people would be a little more careful about making those kinds of accusations, cause the internet has ZERO chill these days, and you're likely going to get people horribly bullied and harassed.
English teacher thoughts, sorry.
Is using AI to create your fanfic/novel/art/whathaveyou bad? Yes, obviously. But particularly in the writing department, dear God you HAVE to remember that people don't write like AI, AI writes like US. AI stole our writing and spits it back to us.
Every AI "tell" that people are using to accuse writers of using AI DOES occur naturally in 100% human writing. I have been teaching reading/writing at elementary, middle, and high school grade levels for almost 25 years. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Happens.
The "AI Detectors" are not anywhere near 100% accurate. If you run some of my old fanfics through "ZeroGPT" they will come back anywhere from 10-20% AI.
Fanfics I wrote almost fifteen years ago, mind you.
Sure, some of these "tells" are more likely to be AI than not. Story that's written like a grocery list?
He walked into the store.
He picked up a mango.
It wasn't ripe.
He looked for another mango.
It was ripe.
And for now, that was enough.
PROBABLY ChatGPT. Or at least ChatGPT-assisted.
Random figurative language that reads like something Douglas Adams would write, but played serious?
He looked around the room, at the furniture arranged in the specific way of furniture that has always been exactly where it is.
Better than average odds that Claude is involved.
Dialogue that is just two characters confirming that something has happened in increasingly quippy tones, regardless of the emotional beat of the scene?
"You're staring again."
"I'm observing."
"That's the same thing."
Earmarks of Gemini (this one also seems to REALLY like side characters named Marcus and Elena, and has a hard time making a story GO anywhere without really, REALLY specific prompts)
But the insidious thing is, these are also things that 100% ARE things that human writers do.
I myself am super fond of the one-sentence paragraph for emphasis. I cut my fanfic teeth at a time when Buffy and Gilmore Girls were the gold standard of clever dialogue. Sarcasm rules! Sometimes coming up with a description that isn't riddled with cliches is hard, and it ends up sounding stupid. These things all happen.
Again, according to the genius AI detectors, fanfics I wrote almost 15 years ago were about 20% AI.
I don't know what the solution is (other than killing AI with fire), but we're going to end up with a much bigger problem than AI invading our stories if we create a police state where everyone's terrified of being accused of AI in the process of trying to eliminate it. AI's already trying to take our critical thinking skills...maybe don't just give them up, okay?
A while back there was a book cover artist who was getting canceled because a few keyboard warriors decided she was using AI. She wasnât. She posted pictures of her drafts. She posted pictures of her family posing that she used as a reference. She posted pictures of her artwork through the years. Yet still, they persisted until a major author who had used her artwork stepped in and called out all these people because she had hired her specifically for her really cool non-AI artwork. But people falsely assumed cartoonish = AI with absolutely no basis. These people almost ruined the career of an artist trying to make a name for herself. Meanwhile, I clicked on her profile and it took me two seconds to find her Instagram story highlights where she had posted videos of her work in progress. Please use your common sense and do your research.
I havenât been to the doctor inâŠa while but one of my pregnant friends was telling me that she had to sign a waiver at her OBGYN so that the doctor could use AI to chart everything they talked about.
I hate that this plotline from the Pitt is happening in real life and no one else tell me horror stories from doctors offices because it makes me not want to go even more. đ
Theyâre getting the town ready for filming Ransom Canyon. So cool to see but sad I missed filming by not more than a couple days. All of these were taken in Las Vegas, NM by me today September 26.
Also theyâre getting the gazebo all decked out in lights, and that makes me wonder if thereâs going to be a scene out there in season 2?
Hawaii five-0 is and always has been my comfort show. It plays all day on ion mystery on Sundays and thereâs something so nice about just letting it play all day. Guess which episode is playing right now?? đ
Impressed with Voightâs self control because there was a time he would have just taken Reid out to a parking lot and put a bullet in his head as soon as he found out Reid was dirty đ
Hilarious watching Shawn in Chicago PD too. Been watching this show off and on for 12 years.
I stopped watching for good when Upton left because I canât stand Voight, and Upstead was the best part of the show. Then of course, guess who showed up the very next episode?
(I will always be of the opinion that they should have killed Voight off and given Intelligence to Jay Halstead in seasons 8-9.)
