    • RE: Bad Stuff Happening IC

      Interesting to me that no one (yet) voted for “Yes but only physical peril, not social.” Social to me covers the like

      @Yam said in Bad Stuff Happening IC:

      someone’s gonna’ post a proclamation the next morning LORD EIRAN, LAYABOUT OF THE LAURENTS, SEEN BEING AN UNMARRIAGEABLE IDIOT

      that kind of thing. I would consider that a Social Bad Thing for a person to encounter.

      But I think it’s pretty clear across the board that bad-things-likers enjoy them from a trusted source and people who decide to humiliate your character socially are maybe not a trusted source.

    • RE: AI In Poses

      @Hobbie I dunno about this. For RP it doesn’t need to make functional code, and most scenes don’t even involve enough heavy theme specifics for the AI to fail them. AI is okay at, and fast at, writing RP.

      Is it great? No. Is it interesting? Not really. But it’s inoffensive for sure and it’s “good enough” for a lot of people. That’s why so many people are adamant on points like “It’s fine as long as it’s readable” and “I only used it to make my pose BETTER” and “AI is so good and so slick that if you’re such a super mega good writer you’ll get called AI by accident” and “It’s better than bar RP”

      Code, it’s failing for sure. But for quick fictional scenario writing, it does get better every day, even though it’s still never going to be better than average. The issue with AI isn’t so much “it sucks major ass to read this, this is unintelligible” as it is “you’ve lied to me and cheated me out of the human connection/experience we were both supposed to opt into.”

      That last part is the kicker to me, and I am comfortable banning players who are okay with that kind of cheating. I can’t thrive in the same game ecosystem as them, no matter how “good” the AI gets.

      I’ve helped other people use it for characters and what not as well.

      What does this mean?

      @Raistlin Do you use AI in your images or writing for the MU/RP space?

    • RE: AI In Poses

      Moving over here because I want to be clear this is a MU context

      @Faraday I know you don’t like LLMs including their use in MUSHing, so leaving aside the work/school/academia thing for a moment, let me ask your opinion

      You are running a game. No AI content is allowed, that is the rule and it’s posted.

      Someone who usually writes very distinctively and with many errors suddenly shifts to sounding very same-y, vague, bland, overwhelmingly positive, and somewhat nonsensical with regard to theme, and there’s no more of those human errors. They’re churning out a ton of content that they never used to. You suspect AI. Vibes are off.

      You ask them if they’ve used AI and they say ‘no that’s my writing.’ Which seems super unlikely, but rare is the confronted player who just says “ya got me.”

      What happens next?
      Do you allow this person to continue, even though it seems likely they’re lying and disrespecting the preferences/expectations that you as a host laid out?
      Do you decide if they said “no it’s my writing” then they are simply not lying, despite all the evidence to the contrary?
      Do you ask them to leave the game based on vibes? Based on something else?
      Do you tell them you’re issuing a warning? What happens if they continue to use the Probably ChatGPT text despite the warning?
      Something else?

      I’ve run into this issue with players. I’m not trying to be snotty in tone here, genuinely I want to know what your approach as a game host would be if you suspect LLM use, don’t like LLM use, and someone is (probably) doing it anyway.

    • RE: AI Megathread

      We have at this point several many posts about “I’ll never give up my dashes” and that’s good, people shouldn’t give them up. I don’t think anyone here has ever advocated giving them up. Em Dash Use is not an AI-flagging behavior for this specific group of internet citizens.

      It just seems like unnecessary upset that we are constantly rehashing “what if they come for my em dashes” when the use of them is probably the only thing this community has ever unanimously agreed on.

      Use the em dashes. Love them. It will be ok.

      People have targeted it so much

      In this community? People love em-dashes in this community.

      From the article

      This list is descriptive, not prescriptive; it consists of observations, not rules.

      This list is not a ban on certain words, phrases, or punctuation.

      The patterns here are also only potential signs of a problem, not the problem itself … Please do not merely treat these signs as the problems to be fixed

      While modern LLMs are known for their high grammatical proficiency, many editors are also skilled writers or come from professional writing backgrounds

      No one is coming for the em dashes
      This Wikipedia article is not recommending that anyone comes for the em dashes

      it doesn’t seem to be as much of a problem in the homeschool community

      I can’t find a source for this, maybe I’m not searching with the right terms. Can you link me?

      I requested to have a conversation with a staffer where they didn’t stop responding with no warning before the discussion got anywhere, and instead of taking my point (that this was chronic and problematic) staffer appeared to be more interested in being offended at how I phrased this

      Did you think that one was gonna go over well with this person

    • RE: Doodles

      @Muse I will post here again when I can offer the Doodles!

      I sometimes do commissions but it’s stressful to price them (and occasionally stressful to get paid for them), so I haven’t lately. Typically when I’m on a game I do offer random doodles, Halloween costume characters, Christmas postcards, etc to the playerbase, I’m just not on a MU right now. Hopefully will be again soon!

      Anyone who you already know will be a poor fit in the community you are curating, or a poor fit for your leadership style. It is your personal choice, and your intuition will best guide it.

      @Cobalt it is, hook me up with a reference image? Either here or DM is ok. Some kind of played-by or that sort of thing.
