RE: An Appeal for Understanding and Cooperation

Hello. I've been following you for awhile and found this post in my own feed.
From a distance I saw what happened. I am not involved. I also had a feeling it would eventually happen, for a long time.
Never felt comfortable asking, though I could tell just by reading there were artificial elements present in the writing style. Because of that I did not support the work.
Notice how I said the work and not your work?
Just know the work is what's under scrutiny, not you. At least in my eyes. Can't call it your own creation if it was produced by AI. And I can't say to you, "Good job, I enjoyed your story." AI takes that ability away from me, if we're being honest.
I still believe you when you say you didn't do it to deceive others. Your reaction says a lot about your character. I can live with the fact you were playing the role of director more than a writer. At the same time, I saw others commend your writing and it took this long for you to come and tell them the truth. They're the ones who must accept your apology, if they see it. At the same time, in this strange world we all find ourselves in, one can't know for sure if the compliments were authentic. That's life, I guess.
I hope you stick around and I hope you can bounce back from this. I'm sure the opportunity to start fresh and build your audience with your writing still exists. And I have a feeling this community will be encountering many situations just like this in the future. So learning how to handle it properly is good experience for all.
Have a good day. Wishing you all the best.
Yes, surely. Thanks for your comment it was an uplifting spirit reply btw
I enjoyed what I read of the series, but I felt it was really rushed. Any one of the chapters should have easily been at least a 10k word standalone series (preferably split into around one or two thousand words per post).
I didn't want to critique their approach. Simply commenting on the issues at hand. Trying to show it's not the end of the world. Impressed with the genuine response here. Didn't want to see another one kicked to the curb.
I genuinely thought it was written by a person. Hopefully Rak7 will find the inspiration to create without AI. Honestly that AI written story would make a great prompt to write from.
I can see how AI could be used as an inspirational tool. Even then, one doesn't know how much came from the imagination. Even here, I don't know if the whole thing was AI generated or combination including imagination. Afraid to ask. Why do these questions even have to come to mind nowadays? What's happening to the arts is a tragedy. Can't trust what you see anymore when it comes to the work.
Because the bot was coded in a way that it can actually write a whole story, instead of just giving ideas :( ... I love writing from prompts, like the ones in Freewriters and the Inkwell. Never tried it from the bots, but it seems like it should be fine. So long as the bot isn't doing the actual writing.
Agreed. We have so many ways to create. And countless ways to share our work. But our species is still making a mess of it.
Typical humans.
