Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take

Three panel comic titled Unethical Fiction:
1. Made with AI
2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

For writers worried that they won't be able to "prove" their work isn't Spicy Autocomplete--worry not. You thought about every choice and will be able to talk about those choices easily and clearly. Folks who used the slop machine didn't make choices and won't have anything to say about why

Sometimes in a library I imagine each book as years of an author’s life such that you are standing amidst uncounted hours of effort and concentration like some oasis of meaningful time.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Great vibes, love a reincarnation trope!

Yes! I became mildly obsessed reading about how much late 19th century folk loved their bicycles and that has bled into this. Bikes + carriages is a fun aesthetic

A slight refinement I'd suggest, is intricacy without intention. When there us painstaking detail but that detail doesn't make any visual sense or add to the vibe/mood. that kind of detail would take a human artist a lot of time to implement so theyre not going to do it for no reason.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Love that! It also sounds veeery interesting in a romance context where the characters are often trying to hold back from acting on their desires
