GUESS THE AUTHOR IS BACK! 

Get to your keyboard and get those betting slips ready, because it’s Guess The Author time again! This is the third annual GTA! Wow! 

But what IS Guess the Author? It's a writing challenge and a guessing game, all in one!

Our fabulous authors will have until THE DEADLINE to write a new work (or dust off an unpublished thing you’ve had rotting in your drafts, we won’t judge) and post it to our anonymous collection. 

Don’t worry if you don’t have any clue who’s who- we’ll publish a list of our authors to make guessing easier. From there, readers will have one week to guess who wrote what! 

After that week, we’ll reveal the collection in full and you can see how you did! It’s like Guess Who, but with more block men and word documents. 

And without further ado:

THE DEADLINE WILL BE JULY 6TH, 2025, AT MIDNIGHT EDT.

(Here’s a handy little countdown clock for you!)

You have until THE DEADLINE to get your work in the collection, and you can find instructions to do that by checking our handy post right here! 

All that fun aside, we do have a few rules: 

-THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO EXTENSIONS TO THE DEADLINE. We will not make exceptions. If your work isn’t in the collection by THE DEADLINE, it’s not getting in. If you don’t make it, you shouldn’t despair- post it anyway! This challenge is all about getting people writing, not some silly collection. That said, we will not reopen the collection for any reason.

-Your work must be Hermit-centric! This is a Hermitcraft event, we’re Hermitcraft fans. Feel free to have other people show up, but the focus should be on at least one Hermit! (NPC’s or Hermit characters such as NPC Grian, Grimdog, Goatman, EX, Hels, and so on are all fine!)

-No smut. Period. Sorry. Cut around it, fade to black, heavily imply it, just no onscreen NSFW action. Everything else is fine!

-Use of AI tools such as ChatGPT or whatever flavour of the Plagiarism Machine is popular this week is strictly banned. This is a writing challenge for human creativity, and we want to hear your own unique voice! Any submitted works found to be AI-generated will be removed from the collection and you will be blacklisted from this and future challenges. 

-Don’t do anything that breaks TOS. Tumblr’s or AO3’s. 

-Minimum wordcount is 50 words. There is no maximum wordcount. 

-A maximum of ten posted works per author, please! If you want to have more, consider creating a single “Collection” piece where each chapter is a new work. Thank you! 

-The mod team reserves the right to remove works from the collection that violate these rules or violate the spirit of the challenge. That means, for example, please don’t add a work that’s a part of your ongoing series! That’s just spoiling the fun.

-If AO3 implodes on launch day again, the mod team reserves the right to scream. 

Other than that, do what you like! We don’t care! There are no rules around content. Horror, shipping, high school AU’s, space opera, Shakespeare…go nuts! We can’t wait to see what you create! 

You’re encouraged to lie, misdirect people, write in another author’s style, write about Hermits you don’t usually write! Any trick you want to use is fair game.

For those wanting a more formal schedule for their calendars, here it is: 

May 4th, 2025, 12:00 PM EDT: Event begins, collection opens! That’s right now! 

July 6th, 2025, 12:00 AM EDT: THE DEADLINE. Writing period ends, collection closes, and guessing begins! 

July 13th 2025, 12:00 AM EDT: Guessing concludes! All works are de-anonymized, and readers and writers celebrate! All works will be promoted on the blog for readers to pick through at their leisure. 

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask the blog. We have five mods: 

-Mod Bayonet 

-Mod Butterfly Knife 

-Mod Machete

-Mod Rapier

-Mod 🔪

What are you waiting for? Get out there and get writing! Can’t wait to see you in the collection!

Lastly, if you want to chat about your work anonymously, head over to our NEWLY OFFICIAL buddy blog @hcguesstheauthormessageboard!

[black-salt-cage]

so remember when I made a post not too long ago stating that no requests pertaining to AI related content will be fulfilled? I'm gonna get much more specific with my feelings on this because a friend went down the rabbithole that is the pro-ai side of tumblr and I noticed people within it are following us. And YES, I know I said that I'm not super strict about my dni. but I find this to be a morally reprehensible stance to take so I'm gonna make my opinions on ai abundantly clear before I go and block these people. Unfortunately some of you have been longtime supporters of this blog, but them's the breaks ain't it?

AI is not, can not, and will never be a means to create true and genuine art. Art can only come from true and authentic humanity and that can come from ANY human, regardless of their perceived skill level

Defending AI as a tool for "disabled people" is in of itself ableist. Disabled individuals create art all the time through their own means and to act as if they cannot create true and genuine art BECAUSE of their disability is nothing more than ableism

I do not support ANY form of generative AI. Do not come at me with the "I bet you use chatgpt or character.ai" shit because I don't. I've been drawing and writing since I was a child and I do not need a machine to horribly emulate humanity for me

Comparing being anti-ai to ACTUAL FACISM is uhm. beyond tone deaf. which is about as nicely as I can put it. And to put it rudely and quite correctly: you're one stupid motherfucker and you're lucky I can't chuck a brick at your head to factory reset your sense of logic.

Generative AI is killing our planet. YES we should focus on the billionaires contributing to the pollution of the planet but that does not give you a free pass. You do not get to stab your neighbor because jason voorhees got to stab a whole bunch of people for several movies. You hiding behind this pathetic excuse is indicative of the fact that not only are you an asshole, but you're also a coward too

Your oc being made purely through ai looks bad and you should feel bad. pick up the damn pencil and stop whining

YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO EVERY SINGLE THING YOU WANT. AI steals from artists, steals from our planet, and is being used to rob artists of jobs in order to sustain their own livelihoods. If you refuse to learn how to develop the skill it takes to get the kind of art you want or refuse to pay an artist in order to get that art then you. do. not. deserve. it.

Saying that AI makes art accessible to poor people is WRONG and poor people are not entitled just because of their monetary situations. I am ALSO a poor artist and I learned to draw with dollar store markers, school pencils, and the ol' "stick and dirt on ground" method.

If you rely on AI you will never be an artist and you will never be a writer. If that makes you feel bad then good, you should feel bad for it

I will not budge on any of these opinions and this post is not an invitation for discussion. This is me stating my mind and telling you that if you have a problem with me after this then maybe you should reconsider following this blog.

AI bros can eat shit and cry about having tiny genitals

Apologies for this being a very unusual post for this blog but I couldn't let that slide after realizing that some of these people followed this acc. I'm not intending for this to be reblogged but go crazy if you want. Just know I ain't gonna fight with yappers on this, I'll just block.

Why we’re against AI as a writing tool

Sophisticated AI tools like ChatGPT are the result of systemic, shameless theft of intellectual property and creative labor on a massive scale. These companies have mined the data of human genius… without permission. They have no intention of acknowledging their stolen sources, let alone paying the creators.

The tech industry’s defense is “Well, we stole so much from so many that it kinda doesn’t count, wouldn’t ya say?” Which is an argument that makes me feel like the mayor of Crazytown. I don’t doubt the courts will rule in their favor, not because it’s right, but because the opportunities for wealth generation are too succulent to let a lil’ thang like fairness win.

I’m not a luddite. I recognize that AI feels like magic to people who aren’t strong writers. I’d feel differently if the technology was achieved without the theft of my work. Couldn’t these tools have been made using legally obtained materials? Ah, but then they wouldn’t have been first to market! Think of the shareholders!

We’re lucky to have the ability and will to write. We won’t willingly use tools that devalue that skill. At most, I could see us using AI to assist with specific, narrow tasks like transcribing interview audio into text.

At a recent industry meetup, I listened as two personal finance gurus gushed about how easy AI made their lives. “All my newsletters and blogs are AI now! I add my own touches here and there—but it does 95% of the work!” Must be nice, I whispered to the empty void where my faith in mankind once dwelt, fingernails digging into my palms. It’s tough knowing I’m one of the myriad voices “streamlining their production.”

I feel strongly that every content creator who uses AI has a minimum duty to acknowledge it. Few will. It sucks. I’m frothing. Let’s move on.

hello riordanverse fandom. i, a tumblr elder, will now go over some tumblr etiquette. it's alright if you've not been doing some of this, or even all of this! i'm not writing this to be mean – i'm writing it so that we can all be better-informed, and better-accustomed to how this site works <3

(also this post isn't comprehensive, and if you've got anything to add on, be my guest)

general good practice:

reblogs over likes

if you like something, the general consensus is to reblog it on your blog! that's how you show the creator that you appreciate their effort, or agree with their point.

if you have something to add to the post, such as a talking point to somebody's analysis of a character or such, it's perfectly fine to add it in the reblog! starting conversations is good, especially with other fans! even something as little as taking your time to comment on someone's art or react/add on to their headcanons can go a long way!

remember – fandom is a collective effort, and it thrives on people talking to each other. about their favourite characters, aus, pairings, whatever. even a simple "oh, i've never thought of that, tell me about it!" can make someone's day. this isn't your "personal brand" or whatever you might be used to from other social media. this is your sandbox that you're playing in with your friends!

post your stuff!

this one may seem kind of evident, but it needs to be said. is there a character you like? a book you like? a ship you like? or perhaps an alternative universe: have some characters swapped roles? have they been transported to a totally different universe? or have they perhaps met your OC?

that's all great! tell me more!

honestly! write a post about it! even if it's not really coherent, and it only gets like two likes. you're not doing this for anybody else, you're (probably) doing this because you've read a book that you keep thinking about! and that's the beauty of it! write your character x self fanfic for yourself! post about that unpopular ship! make up a weird au that you think only you will like! coz if you never do, you might never find the people who share your interests.

on that same note, tell people if you like their stuff!!! for the love of god, tell people when you enjoy something they've made. it's quick, it's easy and it's free

no place for AI

look, fandom is about making things yourself. generative ai, in any way, just does not belong here. even if you use character.ai. (join a roleplaying group.) even if you "just" use chatgpt to run ideas by it. (find a friend to discuss it with you.) seriously. this is something you're doing for fun! a little exercise for your brain!

tag, tag, tag

tumblr is a website that thrives on tagging your posts correctly.

DO:

tag your posts with series and characters that are mentioned/drawn. what i usually go for is: ♡ for any post that's about the characters from one of rick's series: #rrverse, #riordanverse, #pjoverse. these are generally the same, and show the universe where the books are set :+1: ♡ if the post is about a specific book series (it often is), i tag it. for example, for my heroes of olympus posts, i tag accordingly: #hoo, #heroes of olympus, #pjo hoo, #pjo hoo toa, #pjo hoo toa tsats. ♡ if the post is about a specific character or pairing, i tag it with those. ♡ if the post features any common triggers (blood, death, gore, etc.), it's good practice to tag those too. usually, they're tagged with something like #cw death (cw stands for content warning).

tumblr has a system where you can block out tags you don't want to see. this can be found in the settings. i strongly advise you to use this feature to block out definitely stuff that might trigger you, but also things like ships you don't like seeing. trust me, it makes life a lot easier. and no, nobody will be mad at you for it. it's normal and healthy.

i personally recommend having a tag for your own posts, so that you have an easier time finding them on your blog if you ever need them. it varies, some popular ones are #[name].txt, #[name] speaks, #[name]'s rambles – i personally use the broccoli emoji as my own post tag. (it works, if you look up the tag on your blog. tag content shows up differently depending on if you're searching just a specific blog, or all of tumblr.)

fun fact: tumblr lets you follow certain tags, so that if there's new posts in them, they appear on your dash!

DON'T:

overtag. if you're making a post about something from, let's say, heroes of olympus, it's generally considered bad etiquette to tag it with things that are unrelated.

if i, for example, made a post of headcanons about the son of neptune trio, i would avoid tagging it with other characters that aren't mentioned (#piper mclean, #nico di angelo), or ships that feature only one of or none of the characters (#jercy, #percabeth, #solangelo).

a big no-no is to tag it with another series entirely: if your post is about characters from hoo, don't tag it with the kane chronicles or magnus chase. those fandoms are a lot smaller, and we like to see things actually relevant to the trilogies in our tags.

lastly, if you're making a post about how much you dislike a certain character/ship (which, in itself, isn't really recommended – if you don't like it, posting about it is only gonna make it worse), don't tag it with the character/ship tag. it only makes the experience worse for people who are going through those tags, and are looking for content of their blorbos.

don't like; don't interact

if you see a take you don't like, a ship you find "problematic" or anything else that you don't like seeing, the golden rule is to take a deep breath and not interact with it. scroll past. those memes really weren't lying when they said "learn to sit back and do nothing".

it might not seem intuitive in this internet age, but you don't have to have an opinion on everything. and if you do, you don't have to express it. you probably wouldn't like it either if someone hated on your blorbo under your post about them.

no room for discourse

tumblr is a place where we all, at the end of the day, come to play with our dolls, or talk about our interests. some of those interests (I AM TALKING MOSTLY ABOUT SHIPS) may not align with yours, or seem "bad" or outright "horrible" to you. however, it's good to remember that if someone likes a thing that you personally find "problematic" or "icky", it's just not your problem.

DON'T:

♡ make a call-out post about how they're a disgusting pervert. even if what they like is that thing. or that one. yep, even that one. most of tumblr's userbase are weird little freaks, in one way or another, so it's kinda pointless to try to turn on someone because they're a freak, you get me? ♡ send them hate. it's not gonna help anything. ♡ try to fight with them about their interests or preferences.

INSTEAD, TRY:

♡ if you don't quite understand why somebody likes something, you can try having a respectful conversation about it with them. but please, really do try to be respectful. they'll probably be happy to explain. even if you might come away from it finding that it's just Not Your Thing, you'll understand somebody else's perspective better, and that's always a good thing! ♡ if it really upsets you, you can go find a trusted friend, and vent to them about it. it's okay, it's normal to be upset. as long as you're understanding that your reaction is a valid response, but one that is unique to you (and the thing you see is probably making at least some other people happy or interested in it), and one that isn't to be expressed directly under that certain post.

turn on asks!

this isn't a general rule, but my personal recommendation. turn on asks, as well as anon asks, so that people can send you questions. about your headcanons, or your favourite characters, or just chats about how your day is going.

(though don't feel pressured to have asks open. it's good, but it's not, like, mandatory.)

don't censor yourself.

here on tumblr, we can say all the words like kill, death, sex, AND OTHERS! if you're speaking about these topics, please don't censor yourself! tumblr has a feature that allows you to filter out words in posts (that may be triggering, or that you just don't want to see). by censoring those words, you're actually more likely to cause harm to someone, by letting it pass undetected through their content-filtering.

TL;DR: BE NICE TO EACH OTHER AND INTERACT WITH PEOPLE

[physalian]

There’s this unskippable Google AI ad on YouTube where this girl consults the robot about how to cancel dinner plans with the people across the table in the most annoying voice (likely because I have seen this ad now and had to listen to her asinine questions 20 times at least) and this ad, right here, speaks to my frustration around AI:

It disincentivizes critical thinking.

I know the ad is a joke and meant to be lighthearted and I’m only this annoyed because it’s unskippable and irritating af, but every time I see it all I can think is “if you can’t manage enough creativity and critical thinking to come up with your own excuse to cancel on your friends, maybe you shouldn’t have those friends.”

I have a relative who is firmly in the ChatGPT camp and, for example, yesterday I was trying to figure out how to compress a video file and was venting to them about it. They sent me back something I didn’t read from ChatGPT. Meanwhile, I looked up a YouTube video and figured out how to do the rest on my own, and getting the file compressed was immensely satisfying. Far more than mindlessly and thoughtlessly consulting the robot.

“It’s just like a YouTube video!” They’d told me.

No, a real person put time and effort into that video. That robot stole their content without their consent, didn’t credit them, and spat it back out. I used to patronizingly refer to ChatGPT as "the magic conch" and now I can barely do that anymore because that metaphor is becoming all-too real.

While I can understand the barriers it lowers—like if you struggle with writing the robot does it for you, or if you need a piece of art and are too poor, you can generate it for free. Mindless, repetitive tasks that eat up creative juices that can just be automated by a robot, too (even though everyone can tell when a response is canned and artificial and no one appreciates talking to a machine).

If you keep consulting ChatGPT for how to articulate what you want to say, or just straight-up having it do the hard work for you, you’re never going to learn. Yes it’s taken me 8 years to reach the quality and skill of writing I have but as another Tumblr post out there said: The time will pass anyway.

I can’t draw to the skill level that I’d like to. Doesn’t mean I’m not going to keep practicing until I get there. I thrive off that sense of accomplishment. There’s no little hit of dopamine from typing in a prompt and clicking a button and I certainly don’t appreciate the final product scalped without consequence from real artists.

Or, like when I had to fire a beta reader for flagrant abuse of AI in her work: I can copy-paste my manuscript into ChatGPT, too. I’d paid her for a human response, not garbage feedback that couldn’t understand what I was writing beyond that there were words on the page. I wanted so badly to ask her why she does a job in a creative field if she's just going to have a robot do all the fun parts? I beta read at a great loss of profit because I enjoy beta reading and it's a fiercely competetive market. Surely if she wanted to scam people, she could have done so in so many other ways. You don't need to know how to pen complex prose in your every day life, but by god, you do need to know how to effectively communicate, contextualize, and argue your perspective and this ridiculous ad joking about cancelling dinner plans sure is funny, until it isn't.

And I know the people who made AI probably did so with the best of intentions but people can be lazy and cheap and we love taking shortcuts to save money and I stand by this: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

So. Yeah. This is a writing advice blog and this post has almost nothing to do with it, but that ad annoys me to no end and I had to say something somewhere about it. Bottom line: Robots were supposed to make the hard jobs, the monotonous jobs, the overcomplicated jobs, the belittling jobs easier, not make us all into pudding-boned Wall-E people. If you want to write, learning is absolutely free - write on the back of your grocery receipts for all I care. If you want to draw, pick up a notebook and pack of pencils from the local dollar store and start drawing.

What you made will always mean more to you than something that didn't cost you time, effort, brain power, or even money to obtain.

[mariacallous]

Last week OpenAI revealed a new conversational interface for ChatGPT with an expressive, synthetic voice strikingly similar to that of the AI assistant played by Scarlett Johansson in the sci-fi movie Her—only to suddenly disable the new voice over the weekend.

On Monday, Johansson issued a statement claiming to have forced that reversal, after her lawyers demanded OpenAI clarify how the new voice was created.

Johansson’s statement, relayed to WIRED by her publicist, claims that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman asked her last September to provide ChatGPT’s new voice but that she declined. She describes being astounded to see the company demo a new voice for ChatGPT last week that sounded like her anyway.

“When I heard the release demo I was shocked, angered, and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference,” the statement reads. It notes that Altman appeared to encourage the world to connect the demo with Johansson’s performance by tweeting out “her,” in reference to the movie, on May 13.

Johansson’s statement says her agent was contacted by Altman two days before last week’s demo asking that she reconsider her decision not to work with OpenAI. After seeing the demo, she says she hired legal counsel to write to OpenAI asking for details of how it made the new voice.

The statement claims that this led to OpenAI’s announcement Sunday in a post on X that it had decided to “pause the use of Sky,” the company’s name for the synthetic voice. The company also posted a blog post outlining the process used to create the voice. “Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice,” the post said.

Sky is one of several synthetic voices that OpenAI gave ChatGPT last September, but at last week’s event it displayed a much more lifelike intonation with emotional cues. The demo saw a version of ChatGPT powered by a new AI model called GPT-4o appear to flirt with an OpenAI engineer in a way that many viewers found reminiscent of Johansson’s performance in Her.

“The voice of Sky is not Scarlett Johansson's, and it was never intended to resemble hers,” Sam Altman said in a statement provided by OpenAI. He claimed the voice actor behind Sky's voice was hired before the company contact Johannsson. “Out of respect for Ms. Johansson, we have paused using Sky’s voice in our products. We are sorry to Ms. Johansson that we didn’t communicate better.”

The conflict with Johansson adds to OpenAI’s existing battles with artists, writers, and other creatives. The company is already defending a number of lawsuits alleging it inappropriately used copyrighted content to train its algorithms, including suits from The New York Times and authors including George R.R. Martin.

Generative AI has made it much easier to create realistic synthetic voices, creating new opportunities and threats. In January, voters in New Hampshire were bombarded with robocalls featuring a deepfaked voice message from Joe Biden. In March, OpenAI said that it had developed a technology that could clone someone’s voice from a 15-second clip, but the company said it would not release the technology because of how it might be misused.

Stop Using Me And My Work For AI

My stance against generative AI has always been clear and I didn’t think I would need to make such a big post reminding people of it until several people this week informed me of AI chatbots that others have made of myself, my original characters, and my voice being used on characterai/cai.

A lot of people who use characterai seem to think people are upset with them for being lonely or ‘cringe’ and if someone is bullying you like that for using it they shouldn’t, especially as a lot of its users are minors. However, you are doing wrong by using characterai because you are contributing to theft.

Generative AI can generate text, images, voices and more by being trained off other people’s work. In almost all cases the work used is not from consenting artists. AI ‘art’ generators take thousands of artists work that it chews up and spits back out and these artists did not consent. Chatbots and generative writing AI like characterai or ChatGPT does the same thing but with writing. I’ve heard too many people be against AI ‘art’ but use characterai (which has built in AI ‘art’ generation features) because they don’t seem to understand that writing can be and is stolen too. It’s taking from any writing that’s online from fanfics to blogs to articles to tweets. And these writers did not consent to have their work taken and then spat back out by a chatbot. Every time chatbots like these write to you, it is doing so by using stolen work. Even if you got the consent of a creator to put their characters on there, the chats generated are still trained on stolen content. Even if you upload your own characters on there, the chats generated are still trained on stolen content. None of that even touches upon the bad environmental impacts of generating anything with generative AI.

And with this situation on characterai, not only have my original characters been made into chatbots without my consent, not only has some of my art of Arden and Ambrose been reposted on there without credit (I don’t allow reposting with credit either) or consent, but my voice has also been taken and used to train two separate AI voices on there, and someone has made a chatbot of me, a real person. None of this was done with my consent or permission.

I feel violated. I don’t know how else to describe it. I feel sick, I’m shaking, I’ve been having panic attacks over this, I feel so deeply distressed. I thought it was bad enough just seeing people taking Ambrose and Arden and putting them on there, but today I found out there’s a chatbot of me. I’m a real person. Just because you listen to my audios or streams doesn’t mean you know me, because you don’t. I’m sorry to be blunt, but this is so uncomfortable parasocial. And then for two people on there to take my voice to make AI voice replicas of me (again without my consent). I don’t think I can put into words how sick and violated that makes me feel, to have my voice stolen.

As of writing this I have 346 videos up here on my Youtube channel and post videos 3 times a week, you are not starved for my voice or my work. I allow for people to make their own fanworks of my characters including fanfiction. I allow for people to commission others to make art of my characters including fanfiction. You have options that aren’t generating AI content. Reader insert fics exist. Your imagination exists. RP communities exist. You know what I did as a kid when stuff like this didn’t exist? I would copy and paste fanfics into Microsoft Word, find and replace the names with my own/my ocs/other characters and then wow you have a fic about anyone you want (obviously I did not post these online, these were just silly edits I made for myself when I was a minor).

Do not contact, send hate, or harass any of the people on characterai who’ve uploaded my characters or myself onto there (or anyone in general using characterai or generative AI). I don’t want this to be a callout post against characterai users. This post is for any of my followers who do use characterai to please learn about the harm generative AI does to creators, raise awareness, and hopefully get these chabots and voices deleted (especially the chabot of myself and the voices). And if anyone who made any characters or voices of myself or my original characters on characterai sees this: please delete them. Please, please delete them. You are not wrong for being lonely, you’re not pathetic or cringe for using characterai, but you are contributing to the theft of people’s works. Some of you have literally stolen my voice.

If you do go and do research into characterai please be careful as recent lawsuits against them to include trigger topics and these will inevitably appear when you search around. That raises a whole other problem with characterai and it’s popularity with minors as there’s nothing that makes it impossible for the chatbot to be hateful, bigoted, harass you, send sexual messages, etc. I know characterai is implementing safeguards, but even they admit they can’t make it impossible for these messages to be sent.

I am not the only creator this has happened too. When browsing characterai to see how many of my characters were on there I found over 50 of YuuriVoice’s characters, and multiple of other creators like Cardlin and Dark And Twisted Whispers. Including not just the characters, but chatbots of themselves.

It’s 3am here and I’m sorry if there’s any typos in this, I did proof read it I promise, I’m just really tired. I was getting into bed and clearing notifications off my phone when I saw the reply on Tumblr telling me my voice was on characterai. Thank you to those of you who made me aware of this, hopefully at least I can get the AI voices of myself taken down as it is against characterai’s TOS to make voices of real people without their consent. It’s also against their TOS for anything on their site to be impersonating real people. Thank you guys as always for supporting me, I’m sorry for such an agitated post I’m just really upset about all of this. Be safe out there.

To bring about its hypothetical future, OpenAI must build a new digital ecosystem, pushing users toward the ChatGPT app or toward preëxisting products that integrate its technology such as Bing, the search engine run by OpenAI’s major investor, Microsoft. Google, by contrast, already controls the technology that undergirds many of our online experiences, from search and e-mail to Android smartphone-operating systems. At its conference, the company showed how it plans to make A.I. central to all of the above. Some Google searches now yield A.I.-generated “Overview” summaries, which appear in tinted boxes above any links to external Web sites. Liz Reid, Google’s head of search, described the generated results with the ominously tautological tagline “Google will do the Googling for you.” (The company envisions that you will rely on the same search mechanism to trawl your own digital archive, using its Gemini assistant to, say, pull up photos of your child swimming over the years or summarize e-mail threads in your in-box.) Nilay Patel, the editor-in-chief of the tech publication the Verge, has been using the phrase “Google Zero” to describe the point at which Google will stop driving any traffic to external Web sites and answer every query on its own with A.I. The recent presentations made clear that such a point is rapidly approaching. One of Google’s demonstrations showed a user asking the A.I. a question about a YouTube video on pickleball: “What is the two-bounce rule?” The A.I. then extracted the answer from the footage and displayed the answer in writing, thus allowing the user to avoid watching either the video or any advertising that would have provided revenue to its creator. When I Google “how to decorate a bathroom with no windows” (my personal litmus test for A.I. creativity), I am now presented with an Overview that looks a lot like an authoritative blog post, theoretically obviating my need to interact directly with any content authored by a human being. Google Search was once seen as the best path for getting to what’s on the Web. Now, ironically, its goal is to avoid sending us anywhere. The only way to use the search function without seeing A.I.-generated content is to click a small “More” tab and select “Web” search. Then Google will do what it was always supposed to do: crawl the Internet looking for URLs that are relevant to your queries, and then display them to you. The Internet is still out there, it’s just increasingly hard to find. If A.I. is to be our primary guide to the world’s information, if it is to be our 24/7 assistant-librarian-companion as the tech companies propose, then it must constantly be adding new information to its data sets. That information cannot be generated by A.I., because A.I. tools are not capable of even one iota of original thought or analysis, nor can they report live from the field. (An information model that is continuously updated, using human labor, to inform us about what’s going on right now—we might call it a newspaper.) For a decade or more, social media was a great way to motivate billions of human beings to constantly upload new information to the Internet. Users were driven by the possibilities of fame and profit and mundane connection. Many media companies were motivated by the possibility of selling digital ads, often with Google itself as a middle man. In the A.I. era, in which Google can simply digest a segment of your post or video and serve it up to a viewer, perhaps not even acknowledging you as the original author, those incentives for creating and sharing disappear. In other words, Google and OpenAI seem poised to cause the erosion of the very ecosystem their tools depend on.

you won't even speak up for ghoulmore-girl when michellesneptune rallied for people to harass her bc of an assumption. even with proof that her interpretations are authentic you talked in circles being obtuse to the fact that she was indeed being bullied. Why tf should anyone believe you're tackling bullying in this community and that this page isn't a smear campaign? I give it less than two weeks that you guys turn on each other

btw. you can't clock anyone for using ai when you used it as a way to get attention for this page instead of using your brain and creativity to write things yourself. what makes this comical is that you stopped because you claimed it was too much work when all you were doing was typing up a prompt for a machine to do the work for you.

What you’re not about to do is attempt to guilt trip us into doing your bidding. @michellesneptune has publicly apologized multiple times. What do you want me to do? Exile her? We literally have like 42 followers, and @ghoulmore-girl has already been defended by multiple people. @michellesneptune was also barraged with Anon hate. So clearly people gave her “consequences” for how she initially approached the topic by sharing her dissatisfaction so aggressively. If you genuinely think a GOSSIP BLOG using ChatGPT to have bridgerton vibe wording is the same as an astrologer selling services and creating informative content based on said knowledge and using ChatGPT to generate their content without informing their consumers then I question your sanity. Because that’s deceptive as fuck to do. I also wouldn’t turn on my childhood friend over a gossip blog. I’m not that shallow and neither is she, if you don’t believe we’re tackling bullying then YOU take on the load. We are doing our best and have already covered this particular topic along with our opinion. The only people talking in circles are the ones like @kitkats444 who are continually harassing @michellesneptune in spite of her apologies, which looks honestly…obsessive? Considering she is also one of the people who comments stuff like “don’t you have anything better to do?”. The irony isn’t lost on us! You will not get us to do your bidding and turn against someone who has repeatedly apologized and called out someone for using AI in her content. Lastly: trust us when we tell you that we did not let a machine do all the writing. ALL of our previous points (bridgerton era) have been written by us and corrected by ChatGpt (and then by us) to make sure it would fit the Bridgerton vibe. Yours truly, -someone who despises the use of AI in astrology and tarot content (Venus)

Since I was bombarded with anon statements about me using AI again, I'll say it here on last time: I see and understand where artist come from, I get the frustration over "artists" claiming AI work as their own, selling those pics and getting quite some fame for it.

But accusing me of stealing because I let an AI software turn me and readers into jjk or demon slayer style pictures is a little insane, don't you think? Especially advicing me to just use pictures on Pinterest or out of the manga. I don't want to hurt or trigger someone, but isn't that exactly what stealing is out of your context as well? Isn't using screenshots of jjk anime or manga "stealing" as well? And don't get me started on using random pics on Pinterest where you simply can't find out who's the original artist anymore. The argument that AI gets feeded countless pics on the internet and consumes artists hard work in the process sounds absolutely depressing and I'd be pissed as well.

But when I thought about it more...When putting your stuff on the internet, you deliver it to basically the whole earth. Damn, even my fics were found on some Russian site translated and without stating I was the one writing it. I get the frustration, I get the hate! But at the same time I feel like you aren't im charge for what happens on the internet anymore. As soon as you publish your stuff on literally ANY site (since all of them are collecting your data like Thanos anyway), it will get feeded into that system. Who knows how many of my countless essays already landed in there and are a part of someone's work? Who knows how many phrases of my fics I would be able to find when searching with ChatGPT? This isn't talking your concerns down or explaining myself, but rather showing that it's literally ANY artist out there getting affected by AI. You could just search for a fic with Gojo and boom, ChatGPT delivers way faster than me.

But why are you still here, then? Because NOTHING compares to original art!

Like I said over and over, I'd love to collab with artists. But much to my understanding, a lot of them work for MONEY and since my content is FREE, I'm simply not able to pay for the sheer presentation. Also, when looking at my blog, you'll see that I'm using like 70% of anime screenshots by now.

Let me take this opportunity to ask: are you even familar with how generating pictures with the help of AI even works? To make it short, the ML algorithms get "trained" with a huge ammount of training data (we are talking about like 1 billion pics here, depending on the AI). Yes, that data is sourced from the internet. Yes, that data will most likely include the content of artists on the internet without consent (which isn't fair). BUT that art doesn't find direct use in the later generated pics. It rather helps training the algorithms in order to "learn" aspects and characteristics of the imagine in correlation to the picture you want to translate into a certrain art style (like in my chase) or based on the described properties that the image should have (e.g. Bing AI). To translate that: You don't type in "blonde girl with blue eyes" and the AI just shows you a stolen picture online that fits into that description but generates its own version of it based on the pictures it got trained with before. Of course, it surely depends on the AI you're using and it is your responsibility as a consumer to think about ethical correctness here. But same goes for the people simply hating on me over the fact that I'm using AI and accusing me of stealing while this is definetely not the chase.

I won't change my blog because of you, I will continue putting a pic here and there into a fic because not only I find it cute from time to time, but the people who request are thankful more than once because I'm able to make "their" fic feel a little more personal. I get this is controversial and that some people won't feel comfortable on this blog because of it, which is sad but life. I can't even count how many times I've got rude messages because the jjk screenshots I've took myself out of the anime are someone else's artwork, because the manga panels are also artwork and I'm stealing them for my own content. I feel like I'm always in the wrong here, so I'll continue what I'm doing and what makes me happy.

Also, let me get this straight: I'm a writer who uses AI generated pics from time to time in order to spice up a cover and you're able to see that in the very first entry on my blog. It's really not that deep over here.

Every coward anon rambling in my inbox regarding this topic will be blocked and deleted.

Have a nice day everyone

The issue with GenAI is it is really only benefiting people who want to make money and not people who want to create something. It's the worst possible product of capitalism. It enables the side-hustle and the 'if it's not making you money it's not worth doing' culture. For what purpose?

"I use GenAI to produce more ideas because I ran out of ideas and I need to create content otherwise I lose the engagement of my followers"

"I use GenAI to write a fic for me because I want the interactions of fanfic but not the effort"

"I pay for GenAI to create art because I don't have money to commission a real artist"

GenAI cannot work reliably without a shitton of content to 'learn' from because it needs to see so many things it can consistently create patterns that are considered normal to us humans. It cannot think for itself. It reproduces patterns associated with words the requester puts in. In images, in writing and in answers. Stealing content is part of its core because it can't work without

People who genuinely care about a craft will want to do it. All we have done is hand tools to people who don't care or understand the content they create. We have made it easier for people to steal content while this system does not help real artists at all.

It dumbs people down. Some don't know how to google anymore or find back information in a book for that matter. "I asked ChatGPT!" And where is the system getting this information from? It's been wrong before, and it is so incredibly dangerous. People don't practice critical thinking anymore and put their trust in a system who is getting their information from god knows where. They don't know how to look for reliable sources, how to identify and verify them. It's actively dumbing people down. How can anyone know if anything a system or even a random person says if they don't understand where it's coming from?

On top of that it is so bad for the environment. It's not just you using your little phone and that's it. Their data centers use a ton of energy to scrape the entirety of the internet and then need to use an enormous amount of water to cool down their systems because of how much heat it generates.

AI has taken away human jobs however, AI is also creating human jobs

Febuary 16, 2025

By: Ki Lov3 Editor: Toni Gelardi 

The greatest strategy to stay ahead of the curve as AI continues to change the labor market is to embrace AI as a tool rather than a threat, adapt, and upskill. The following are essential steps to prepare your career for the future:

1. Develop AI and Tech Skills

Learn how AI works and how it impacts your industry. Take online courses in AI, machine learning, automation, and data analysis. Familiarize yourself with AI-powered tools in your profession (e.g., ChatGPT for writing, VideoGPT to video creation and AI-driven analytics for marketing).

2.Focus on Human-Centric Skills

AI is great at automation, but human traits remain irreplaceable:

Emotional intelligence (EQ): 

AI can’t replicate empathy, leadership, or deep human connections.

Critical thinking & problem-solving: 

AI provides data, but humans must interpret and apply it effectively.

Creativity & innovation: 

AI can generate content, but original ideas and strategic thinking still require human input.

3. Stay flexible and Willing to Pivot

Be open to career shifts—AI might replace some jobs but will create new ones.

Adaptability is key; embrace lifelong learning and continuous skill-building. Consider industries that integrate AI rather than resist it.

4. Learn AI-Augmented Roles

Many jobs won’t disappear but will evolve. Understanding how to work with AI instead of against it can give you an edge.

Example: A digital marketer using AI-powered analytics to optimize campaigns rather than manually crunching data.

5. Build a Unique Personal Brand

If AI is replacing generic jobs, make yourself stand out with a strong personal brand.

Develop expertise in niche areas where AI support is valuable but not dominant.

Use platforms like LinkedIn, personal blogs, or social media to showcase your knowledge.

6. Strengthen Networking and Collaboration

AI can’t replace human relationships and professional networks. Become an in-person person– with genuine emotions.

Build strong connections with industry leaders, join professional groups, and attend AI-focused workshops.

Collaborating with others can open doors to AI-proof career opportunities.

7. Explore Entrepreneurship & Side Gigs

AI creates new business opportunities—consider how you can use AI tools to start a side business or freelance work.

Examples: AI-assisted content creation, AI-driven marketing consultancy, or AI-enhanced coaching services.

8. Stay Informed on AI Trends

Keep up with AI advancements and understand their impact on your industry. Read tech blogs, listen to AI-related podcasts, and follow AI influencers. Take free online tutorials, videos and ecourse online any and everything AI, their are plenty. Stay ahead of industry shifts rather than reacting to them.

Final Thoughts

The only thing we can count on in life is change. Prepare yourself for the change so you aren't left behind.

AI isn’t just taking jobs—it’s changing them. The key to surviving (and thriving) in an AI-driven world is to be adaptable, proactive, and willing to evolve. Instead of fearing AI, embrace it as a tool to enhance your work, increase efficiency, and open up new career opportunities.

Those who learn to work alongside AI, focus on human-centric skills, and continuously upskill will not just survive the AI revolution—they’ll lead it.

Words cannot express how much I fucking hate this article, or rather the people who are being profiled in it. It’s so disappointing to see Grant Achatz and these other chefs outsource their creativity to a plagiarism machine and still expect their diners to pony up the big bucks for the privilege of eating at their restaurants. It’s bad enough when influencers talk about using ChatGPT to get recipes to make for themselves or use it as a way to make cringey cooking content; this feels so antithetical to the concept of fine dining, especially when it’s led by a celebrated chef. 

Relatedly, I’ve been working on a larger piece about genAI and how much I fucking hate it and I don’t use any of it to write my blog, and then this and a number of other articles have come out about how it’s being used for really bad reasons, and so now I feel like I have to go back to the drawing board and rewrite it from scratch. 

More below the jump:

This all started when I was going through some recent link-backs in my blog’s dashboard and noticed that they were coming from blogs that were clearly generated by AI. Some were upfront about it, like this blog that cited my post on Melissa Clark’s pressure-cooker sausages and lentils:

I mean, look at this image of sausages and lentils! This is some serious uncanny valley shit. 

And here’s a blog that tried to link to my post musing on Mimi Thorisson’s seared scallops with cauliflower puree and they didn’t even replace the dummy text in the About page, and yes, those scallops also look incredibly cursed.

The only bit of amusement I’ve gotten from any of this nonsense was looking at the copy for each of these blog entries. Those suckers are long and dry and completely devoid of personality. For all of the people whining about having to scroll past “12 page essays about a grandma” to get to a recipe, somehow this is more acceptable? I call bullshit on all of this.

Just saw a writing advice blog whose articles are basically entirely AI generated. Their intro, their comments - everything is exactly the way an over-enthusiastic LLM chatbot writes it.

People are enthusiastic about their tips, they thank and reblog and consider their articles good food for thought.

I'm not as aggressively anti AI as most other artists I know, and still find it absolutely icky when blogs pretend to be written by a human, while not even making an effort to conceal most of the work was generated.

I have no business just throwing around accusations around in the comments or whatnot. But I'm reminded about all those posts circulating where people pat each other on the back for never having ever used chatgpt once.

If you aren't going to even try it, at least make an active effort to see how it behaves when other people use it. Otherwise, you're never going to be able to spot it in the wild, and risk falling victim to scams.

LLMs have very distinctive writing patterns, and most people who use them even just sporadically are quick to learn what those are. At least, learn to identify generated articles. Please don't fall behind. Just like our parents that can't tell which email is a scam and which is genuine, our generation risks never developing the literacy needed to wade through ever growing amounts of generated content.
