i hope this doesn’t need to be said but just in case
you might have seen people talking about sudowrite and/or their tool storyengine recently
and just like… don’t. don’t do it. don’t try it out just to see what it’s about.
for two main reasons:
1) never feed anything proprietary into a large language model (LLM, eg ChatGPT, google bard, etc.).
this means don’t give it private company information when you’re at work, but also don’t give it your original writing. that’s your work.
because of the way these language models work, anything you feed into it is part of it now. and yeah, the FAQ says they “don’t claim ownership” over anything and yeah, they give you that reassuring bullshit about how unlikely it is that the exact same sentence will be reconstructed—
but that’s not the point.
do you have an unusual way of constructing sentences? a metaphor you like to use? a writing tic that sets you apart from the rest? anything that gives you a unique writing voice?
feed your writing into an LLM, and the model has your voice now. the model can generate text that sounds like it was written by you and someone else can claim it’s theirs because they gave the model a prompt.
don’t feed the model.
2) the other reason is that sudowrite scraped a bunch of omegaverse fic without consent to build their model and that’s a really shitty thing to do, because it means people weren’t given the chance to choose whether or not to feed the model.
don’t feed the model.
also this.
don’t feed the model.
This seems entirely too believable.
I don’t want this tech anywhere near me or my work. I’ve long since locked down my fic at AO3 to members-only (though shutting that barn door may have happened too late). And more recently I’ve been sneakily offered “AI ‘help’” by Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft (Word) 365.
No, no, no, NO.
Just… no. As we say over here…
As I said in my other reblog, this isn't entirely the case. Howsomever, it's definitely a good idea to lock down fanfic on AO3 at this point.

Somehow ended up on THE Twitter of all Twitters with two other Wolfwoods. What a time to be alive. If you know, you know 👀 (I'm on the right) lol
watching the 2018 milwaukee ballet production of dracula and y'all the dracula/jonathan pas de deux is amazing
it's beautiful and creepy and sensual and horrifying all at the same time
crap, i don't know enough dance terminology to make this coherent, but the way they've been utilizing going en pointe in act 2 is fascinating. like, aside from when they're doing turns and stuff like that, all the women are walking around on the flat part like regular people. but then dracula bursts in and everyone is down in the dark except lucy, who is now on her tippy toes and basically floating across the floor to him in a trance and the contrast is so eerie
also i just realized it was mean of me to talk about this without telling anyone where to watch it. here's a link to the official video from the milwaukee ballet account's @ Home series https://vimeo.com/469873929/5ee47dee00
continuing the trend of being both sensual and beautiful and horrifying, the drac+lucy pas de deux is also fantastic.
also, repeated theme the way dracula just kind of flings them around at times, like they're not dance partners but just toys to be played with and literally tossed aside. in the jonathan one he just like yote him 15 feet or something crazy across the stage, and in this one he's just positioning her like a ragdoll, the choreo is so good
agh no no no i hate this! D: lucy! :(((
looking forward to and dreading the drac+mina one if they're all gonna be this good but also upsetting lol
oh good, an ensemble mourning scene, that's cool that's fine i'm handling this gracefully
oh damn, though, she does feral really well too. cool thanks this is a great place for an intermission because i'm feeling totally emotionally stable (:
WHAT I MUST PUT THIS IN MY EYEBALLS
btw, if you enjoyed the dracula ballet, please consider donating a few bucks to the milwaukee ballet (https://milwaukeeballet.org/support) so they can keep doing what they're doing, or if you live near enough get tickets to go see it live (they're putting it on again this year october 26-29, 2023)
✨May the 4th be with you!✨
Happy Star Wars Day!!! Best day of the year!!!
