Whenever I use the internet at home. I keep getting redirected to Google. But it's doing fine on my mobile wifi. Has anyone had this issue?

I'm tired of men coming here and blatantly complaining about their own lack of deduction and social skills. Gee, must suck to be poor.
Sure can't imagine what it would be like to be viewed only as an object, spoken to with outright derision, expected to be *grateful* for the "Attraction" of people who are so ashamed of their attraction that they won't show themselves while *also* expecting a "connection," constantly harassed, ignored, fetishized without consent, and also harangued for *more* content, and sometimes even threatened for not providing said validation/content/companionship, while also making substantially less on average than most people who come here with cake/food/fat art as a pfp and dare complain about someone... suggesting that if you *want* more of the content, that they too may need to be compensated for it.
So, nah.
Off topic and just a dump on men.

The AI generated tick box sounds like the way to go for now. My take on AI in general is that, human created is better. I predict that in the near future, the Internet is going to be absolutely awash with AI generated content, and the vast majority of it will be sub-standard, mass produced, drivel. The more AI there is, the more human generaled content will seem rare and valuable, and this is what people will want. For instance, there are now quite a few AI generaled images in the pics section, they are quite clever and of some interest for a while, but of far more interest are images of real people.

...What might be more interesting, and what Amazon requires for self-publishing, is a check box disclosing that the story was generated using AI. Amazon carved out things like grammar checkers and things like that which don’t need to be disclosed, so you could get in the weeds pretty quickly, and I understand why it might be a headache, but it would be another way of filtering stories. There might be readers who are curious about AI assisted writing and would want to check some out. There are probably more who would prefer to filter it out or at least know what they’re reading.
Just a thought. Adding a checkbox would be the easy part, coming up with the rules around it would be harder. A number of people on here already self-disclose with AI visual art in one way or another, so I think there are people who would participate, even if it was voluntary.
Yeah, it would have to be voluntary, since there's no way of really telling whether a story has been written using AI, or to what extent.
Regarding the rules, there's no real way of policing it, so we'd be relying on the honesty of the author. Also, how much AI warrents a disclosure, any AI use at all?

Yes, yes you do because AI scrapes this site and many others. It scrapes published books. It scrapes poetry, and articles, and essays all originally written by a human being. That's one of the major reasons why writers and artists don't like it.
Despite what I said in my previous posts, I understand your concerns here, given that AI will develop over time. So this raises another question:
Should we make the stories section viewable by members only to prevent AI scraping?Currently, the first page of each story is viewable to guests because it brings many new people to the website. To view subsequent chapters of the story the guest then needs to create an account and login.
The issues I can see here are:
* Closing the stories section would deminish our Google listings and reduce the number of new members coming here. This would reduce the income for story earners.
* Would it really make and difference? There will still be plenty of feederism stories our there anyway that AI can scrape.
* Can we really keep AI from creating an account and scraping the stories section anyway (premium stories would be safe because they are behind a pay wall)?

Thanks for pointing this out. The 'See Also' section on the story page was showing some unpublished stories. This has now been fixed.

Yes, we do allow authors of premium stories to use AI, since it's just another tool in the box, like spelling or grammar checkers.
LoraDayton:
Grammar and spellcheck already existed long before mass-market access to AI.
AI isn't a grammar tool. It can only function by scraping existing writing created by other humans. Even if you clean it up after, it is still theft. It's not reinterpretation or meta or research. AI is theft of work. AI cannot exist without a reserve of existing material. That's literally how it works.
You're absolutely right that there is no shortcut to sincere creativity, but it's mutually exclusive to AI generated writing.
All stories, including stories created purely by the authors themselves are built upon what has gone before, and what they've previously read. Authors know that a story needs a beginning, middle and end, good character development and an interesting plot. They know what works and what doesn't, not because they invented everything themselves, but because they've seen what works in stories created by other authors.
My point here is that AI alone won't create a good story, it takes considerable time and effort to take something that AI has written, and turn it into something engaging and entertaining.
There was also a question as to whether we should allow AI to be used for premium stories - well I suppose ultimately it will be our members that make that decision. If the AI assisted stories are not good and don't sell, then the earners will stop using it. It will succeed or fail organically.

This is already available, but you'll need to make your profile publically visible first.
Once you've done this you'll be able to link directly to your profile, and people will be able to view your profile without being a member.
We decided to make this an 'opt-in' feature, since many members prefer to keep their profile more private.
To change your settings, go to My account and edit the setting for 'Make profile publicly visible'.

Most people that have used it will realise that AI doesn't have the ability to just write interesting, character driven stories for you. Most of what it produces is just bland, ultra-safe, and boring. Without creative and descriptive prompts, it will just go around in circles repeating the same old drivel, just writing it in a slightly different way. Getting anything good out of AI takes hard work and talent. However it does have it's uses, and can help with descriptive phrases and ideas if you know how to get the best out of it.
Ultimately what counts and what we want, are good quality, interesting feederism and weight-gain stories, which requires talent and creativity. There's no short cut to this.
