First, I’m an author by trade. I make money and pay bills by writing and selling novels. It’s not my sole source of income yet, but I’m hopeful it will be one day. Sadly, the “anti-AI” witch hunt often impacts authors like myself who don’t even use such tools.

That’s a bummer. Blame AI and the people using it to churn out slop.

The poses still come from a human with emotions, motivations, and a genuine desire to connect, regardless of what tools they used to craft them.

They don’t, though? If someone’s using AI to write their poses they’re not coming from a person, they’re coming from a bullshit machine, and anyone trying to pass it off as anything else is showing such absolute disrespect for their scene partner that I can’t even put it into words. Why would I bother to read something they couldn’t be bothered to write?

I have no idea what my tells are and trying to figure them out makes me nauseous with embarrassment so I’ll just live with the mystery.

@Pyrephox Thanks! Thomas is still one of my favorite characters, glad to hear from you. Bummer to hear you’re not playing anywhere these days, but neither was I for longer than I ever was, so I get that. Hope to run into you some place if you ever get back into it.

AI theme and poses are a bit more concerning since those things really require some sort of personal touch otherwise why not just rp with ai… there’s all kinds of stories about people doing so and even falling in love. (I’m not calling this wrong

I am one hundred percent fine calling this wrong. Better than fine, even. Confident. Righteously correct. This is on the level with someone who wants to chop off both their hands so they can have the Dorrance #5 Stainless Steel Hooks they’ve always dreamed of. I don’t think they should be ridiculed or anything, I think they need help, and that nobody should be in a position where such a thing is possible.

There’ve been a couple of others here and there but hardly long enough for me to remember, let alone anybody else. Trying to get back into the hobby, I guess we’ll see!
