Confess your literary sins.

  • I ended a line of dialogue with a double exclamation point and I'm not changing it

  • the second draft of my manuscript had 849 em-dashes in it

  • I mentally swap the races of characters in Golden Age sci-fi to make it more interesting for the modern audience (me)

  • I make fun of audiobooks, but I actually just can't concentrate on them. :marseynouautism:

I stopped writing since generative AI got passable enough. I was never satisfied with how I explored an idea and turned it into a short story. Now I can be unsatisfied with my idea much faster and it'll leave me alone.

I am not satisfied with the prose of AI, I want to write things the way I see them in my head. I could see AI be useful as a storyboarding tool for a first draft to give you an idea for a narrative structure though

AI has really shit prose. I haven't tried any of the obscure models, but openAI and bing really write like dogshit. From what I remember it was like 70% purple prose executed badly, with a sort of ironic sense to it that never went away - even when I asked it to explicitly stop. There's apparently some stuff baked in.

As an adult, I gave up on writing years ago
