hello! i saw a post that some people apparently have used ai to "finish" wips that have been "left too long"... i don't think those people really care about blanket permission (tho i wouldn't call their output "transformative work") but it did come up on the post, so i thought maybe i should ask for clarification? because i personally understood that authors give permission under the assumption that a person would make a thing based on their thing, so i don't know if this should be a further disclaimer (like the goodreads thing) or if it should be taken for granted..

(not to mention that this isn't fic of a fic, its literally finishing someone's writing)

No, you should never do this. Author's put a lot into writing those works, using an A.I to finish them would never be the same as them finishing the fic. An A.I can only "add" from what it knows from scrubbing works that people do not consent to.

Do not use A.I to finish fics that authors abandoned or haven't finished. That is super disrespectful to them.

I understand wanting to see a fic finished and wanting to know the outcome but doing it with A.I would never fulfill that for you. It's merely guessing and adding from multiple different things/works that it's stolen from and might not even make sense. It doesn't know what direction the author was going in, it doesn't know the twists and turns the author was going to add, it doesn't know anything about the author.

An A.I generated fic is Completely Different from a fan-made art or fic based off your work. It's Completely Different than someone asking to finish your work themselves.

A.I is not a "cool way to finish unfinished fics" .

Please don't use A.I on fics just because you are curious about the ending.

It will never be the same as actual human writing. And it is super disrespectful to authors who put time and care into their work.

Sorry if this comes off annoyed, I just really don't like this whole A.I writing fanfic thing lol

This all of this and also I stand by the idea that there is NOTHING intelligent about chatgpt or what's lauded as AI these days. It's just a generator, it's a machine. It has no idea how emotions or human experiences work. It cannot feel, it cannot emote, it cannot learn.

Calling it AI is just the dude bro way of making it sound more than it is. It's theft. It's just plain theft.

When you use an artificial generator to finish someone else work you're basically saying that person is a machine to you. It's fucked up. Art is what's meant to set humans apart from the rest of biological life and yet we are condensing it into a commodity making us no better than an animal and it's so insulting to creators everywhere

damiemontclair said: Also you're feeding the AI new material by putting it in there. Without the writers consent. It enables the theft of writers works by AI.

Yes, to all of this. AI is theft. Pure and simple.

Not only this, but people count fic as “abandoned” when it’s actually on hiatus.

Or even if the author hasn’t updated in a few months (which is common for me given my current life situation) and is a major assumption on the part of the reader. I had one person try to add a fic of mine to an “abandoned works” collection, and it pissed me off.

Unless you have explicit permission from the author, it’s unacceptable. And even then, you need to be up front about using “AI” because that’s a whole other can of worms.

“Oh but I can’t write!” And I can’t draw, but that doesn’t mean I shove a bunch of fanart into the AI grinder and act like what comes out is mine.

Write your own damned fic. Period.

Losing my mind at the beauty of these color enhanced photographs of the Endurance expedition by @babelcolour on Twitter. The fact that these are color enhanced and not color added makes their existence even more remarkable. You understand why those first explorers couldn’t stay away.

We need to go back to using sailing ships full time like immediately. Yes it would take longer to get places but the Aesthetic is unmatched

Like there is nothing sexier hthan this

Can’t wait for OP to get scurvy

Are you under the impression that the ships themselves are what caused scurvy

the sea is the earth’s most haunted environment. the density of ghosts per square metre is unparalleled. every tide is a time machine. every whale song is a spirit box
