We are all a bunch of individuals out here. No one is in some huddled room corroborating stories and making plans.

So some of us will think you are a bot and some of us will think you are a person using ChatGPT.

It is what it is. You brought it on yourself.

Nah. I mean, it's like you've been saying all along: you do not have the capacity to be a writer.

And I get it. It's tragic to know that no matter how much effort you put into something, you'll never succeed. I'm sure it's been maddening seeing all of these people excel where you could not. Why else would you cling to your precious ChatGPT and refuse to entertain the possibility that you could succeed?

A few things:

1. December is in 4 months. You are a slim, 19-year-old. Typically, you will be fighting against your high metabolism. It is unlikely you will gain 50 lbs in that short of time. This isn't saying you can't gain at all. I'm saying you should adjust your expectations, or you will frustrate yourself.

2. You are an adult. I know that at 19, you still kinda feel like a child in some respects. But you are not. If you want to indulge in your fetish, you need to be responsible for it yourself.

All you can really do with your parents is establish boundaries and show them how you are taking care of yourself despite the weight gain. So eat a balanced diet and exercise.

I love the more that you get needled, the less you lean on purple prose.

Got so mad you started to actually write, did you? I wonder how long before you finally crack and do the thing you swore never to do - actually write a story without generative AI.

It really is annoying.

I remember a time before generative AI. Yeah, there was a lot of shitty erotica out there. Poorly written stories and bad art. But, inevitably, those people would get better over time. Some of them even became good.

Don't see that with the generative AI crowd. They spit out things that are aggressively mid at best and hard to look at at worst. But for all the talk of generative AI being a tool, I don't see any of them getting better. They stay the same.

This isn't the same as the traditional vs digital debate. Whether or not you like digital art, you can't deny that digital artists aren't putting in the same effort traditional artists use. If you follow a digital artist over the course of their career, they get better. If they really dedicate themselves to their craft, they create really impressive things.

Do you know what the AI peeps do to improve? Fiddle with prompts and manually edit.

Not going to knock editors. That is a skill on it's own, but you are confined to whatever the machine spits out. You don't get to experiment and spread your wings very much.

Generative AI is not an artistic tool. It was never meant to be an artistic tool. There are AI tools for artists out there, but that is completely different from letting the machine make you a picture.

Mhm. And is this what your mother used to tell you as you got another failing grade in school for your ChatGPT-written essays?

Bless your heart.

It's always funny to see a smug troll become a lolcow in real time.

Nah, let him continue. This is hilarious.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

Go on. Tell us more about how your precious noise probability program is such a useful tool for the creative process. Wax lyrical about how you are so big and brave for refusing to do your own writing.

You say the silliest things, and it's such fun to see you scramble around.

Actually, I'm a sadist who, among other things, gets off on making trolls uncomfortable.

And you are very entertaining fodder for this. You are truly the gift that keeps on giving,
