@Pavel As a writer, I am not the least ashamed of using ProWriteAid (which is similar to Grammarly) to catch typos and blatant grammar errors. It also offers AI spicing up services, and those I’d be ashamed of using.

RE: AI In Poses
@Third-Eye Yeah, even with Grammarly, there’s a vast difference between it catching when I type “slient” instead of “silent” or forget to capitalise Instagram, and getting it to rewrite my shit entirely. I have RP partners to tell me my writing is crap; I don’t need to pay a subscription service to do it for me.

@Pavel
Grammarly is the tool I assumed was being referenced without anyone saying it directly. I used to use it just as a spelling and grammar-checker, too, but it’s been completely taken over by AI ‘features’ in ways that people seem to feel gives them cover when they say ‘oh I didn’t rewrite this with AI I used just Grammarly’. My friends in Beelzebub, you had Grammarly rewrite it and AI it up, that is what happened.I have no doubt there’s more going on under the hood with Word these days than just spell-checking in ways where I don’t want to turn it loose on something I wrote but I haven’t felt like the red under-lines are doing anything too weird…yet.

@Kestrel You’re probably right; I’m out of the loop. I use Grammarly in my real-life writing solely for the purpose for which it was originally made, but now it has all these generative “features” that I ignore. I imagine it’s probably pretty easy to use them and still feel justified in claiming it’s just for spelling and grammar.

RE: AI In Poses
The thing that annoys me is that when people claim they just use it for spellcheck or whatever, 90% the time they’re lying. I know a whole bunch of people who claim they just use it for polish and then will turn out 10 paragraphs of the most boring slop imaginable. It’s just, idk. It’s like how cheaters sound — “it was just one kiss! It meant nothing!”
Anyway I think I vaguely suspect the game @yam’s referring to, and its community has a powerful stink already even though it hasn’t launched yet. Highly doubt you’re missing out on anything if my guess is right.

“you can use a lil to tidy your grammar :)”
I’m okay with this solely because I’m betting even fuckin’ Word’s spellcheck has copilot’s dick in it somewhere. If you’re putting your shit into ChatGPT and getting it to rewrite it for you, that’s a no, but using a spellchecker that has been infested with AI nonsense? I’m more inclined to forgive.

I’d rather RP with a person with the worst speller/grammar than AI.
I still think about a person I played with 10-15 years ago who had terrible spelling and odd grammar sometimes but they drove plot and were fun to RP with.
Agree. Half the time, my brain doesn’t even register other people’s errors because we’re having fun.

RE: AI In Poses
until there is nothing but LLMs RPing with LLMs
My dark side wants to build a fully Cross-Sphere World of Darkness MU where all of the PCs and NPCs are driven by LLMs with zero human input, and the logs are uploaded to the wiki every day.
