Sure, Why Not? At This Point, He Has Already Shown How Little He Cares About Tomura And How Weird And

renaissance era

Me with almost every fantasy world

I probably put way too much thought into it but I do enjoy making a more in depth story rather than winging it. I like to actually think about the worldbuilding, make sure things actually connect and make sense. I am a big history nerd and I feel like it's the closest I can get to writing my own history.

“Blood sweat and tears” such an excellent method of measuring investment. Yeah I worked really hard on this, hurt myself a lot, cried the whole time. stress nosebleed, sweated profusely, sobbed openly. Bleeding sweating crying etc. And everyone goes oh. Well done.

I fully support your opinion. It is really sad, in a way, to see the younger generation just think that AI is better at everything.

I, for example, only use like ChatGPT to tell me like "other words for because" or "other words for but" but sometimes "what is that thingy thing called?" Because sometimes it can know that, sometimes not. But I strongly discourage to use AI for plotting for your story or even brainstorming. Because is it really YOUR story if you let AI dictate the way the story shall go or proceed?

Okay. It's time for an AI rant.

My nephew is 13 years old. Whenever he writes a paper for school, I check it over and fix all of his mistakes for him. He said to me, "Maybe I'll proofread your paper for you in exchange," meaning one of the scholarly articles I write for work. I said, "Cool," and gave him the file. And he said, "Well, this is full of errors! See, you always say you have a lot to correct on my stuff, and look at all the stuff you got wrong!" And I said, surprised, "What? Where?" Because I'm sure there are typos in the draft I sent him, but not, like, that many.

And then he pointed to the screen and said, "Look at all the blue and red lines you have."

And I said, "Yeah, but those are wrong. Like, those are blue and red lines I'm ignoring because the computer is wrong." And then I paused and added, "You know you can't proofread a paper by just looking at the red and blue lines, right?" And he gave me the blankest look, because that clearly is EXACTLY what he thinks. And it became even clearer suddenly why, whenever I correct something on his paper, his immediate reaction is, "It didn't have a blue or red line."

There's a very good reason for that: THAT'S BECAUSE THE COMPUTER ISN'T SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT IT WAS WRONG.

I am so tired of being sold the idea that computers are better than humans and so we should just outsource everything to them, which is clearly the lesson my nephew is absorbing in U.S. middle school. COMPUTERS ARE NOT BETTER THAN HUMANS. Like, maybe they are better at humans at crawling through rubble to find people trapped inside. They are also better at preserving things in a searchable format. Things like that. Very limited circumstances.

I don't want to sound alarmist but everything I hear about people using generative AI freaks me out. It's not just that I'm freaked out by people being like, "I use it to write novels!" (Although I don't see how they do, I have tried to have it write fiction for me and the output was truly terrible.) But I recognize my bias around creative writing and so no one needs to credit my views on artificial writing. But! Other things are alarming, too! "I use it to brainstorm x, y, or z." But...why? Why not just...use your own brain...to...brain...storm? The computer doesn't even have a brain to brainstorm with! And you might be like, "But it comes up with things that my brain would never think of!" So would other people! You could also brainstorm with other people! Or even through Google to see what other people have thought before you (not AI). Please don't belittle the wonder of thinking.

I just feel like the marketing around generative AI boils down to "Wouldn't it be easier not to use your own brain to think about things?" Everyone. No. It would not be. Please just trust me on this. I'm not just an old person who is out of touch with technology or something. I promise. USE YOUR BRAINS. IT WILL BE OKAY.

And "The Masochism Tango" from Tom Lehrer is very Shigadabi coded in my opinion

Quick traditional ass sketch with that shitty pencil on that free note I got from attending a seminar before my appointment. I'll tell the therapist they're the reason I'm sick and always throwing up aUGH<3

Something about the whole "Eming is born of Hua Cheng's desire to live and Rouye is born of Xie Lian's desire to die," and then how Xie Lian wears funeral colours and Hua Cheng wears wedding colours. God oriented towards death and stillness and self-denial. Ghost oriented towards life and hope and happiness.

Me when life had hit me with double force and I have to go and feel better by writing about silly Merman and octopus falling in love and an ancient feral snake-god getting revenge on the world with his husband and force-adopted kid

*actual footage of me writing my next chapter*

Tomura with cute ass vampire teeth now has my heart. He looks like a kitten yawning in the last panel. Absolutely adorable

Spinneraki vampire au🧛

( I doodle this from Twitter, so I decided to share this here. I think I have a vampire au thing because I'm going through the same full circles again, just like other fandoms. Anyway, Shigaraki is a vampire and Spinner is a human nurse but he actually is a mutant lizard who can shape-shift into human forms.)

Please reblog to let everyone see! Thank you very much!
