PSA: *Beware* AI-generated fungi guidebooks!!
…Not a phrase I imagined myself typing today. But, via @heyMAKWA on Twitter:
“i'm not going to link any of them here, for a variety of reasons, but please be aware of what is probably the deadliest AI scam i've ever heard of:
“plant and fungi foraging guide books. the authors are invented, their credentials are invented, and their species IDs will kill you.”
…So PLEASE be careful if you run across anything of this kind.
(ETA: Corrected egregious typo in the title. Apologies, as I was [a] in bed [b] typing hurriedly and one-handed on the iPad, and [c] I think its native keyboard may need recalibration, but also [d] I was upset about what I was having to post, because seriously, WTF?!!)

"i don't like taylor swift-" "i hate her" "swifties are annoying but-" NOBODY cares about your personal opinions on a celebrity. you don't have to be a fan or give two shits about her specifically to realize that using AI to generate nsfw images of any person is extremely fucked up and warrants serious actions against and regulations for the usage of artifical intelligence moving forward. it shouldn't have come to this for people to start considering the dangers of unregulated AI usage seriously but please for the love of god stop feeding any random images/prompts or information to AI I don't care how harmless you think it is. Just stop

I’m tired of seeing AI generated stuff. Ethically it’s shit, yeah. But more than that it’s fucking ugly. The warped text, the odd placement of objects, the lack of objects (like fingers and stuff)- it’s hideous. And it’s so baffling to see large scale companies use it and it just looks like shit. And the ai generated scripts and ai generated voice actors too- like??? Hire a writer! Hire a voice actor! It sounds awful! I tried to use Duolingo again recently and couldn’t get past how unnatural the shit sounds. Yeah you’re cutting corners but you’re cutting them with a wonky ass knife. The quality is poor. Pack it up.

Soo... Just hearmeowt.
A while ago I had an idea to a merthur fanfiction. (It is my original idea and if this has been made before please do inform me.)
So because I am very very incredibly bored I decided to tell chat gpt my idea and have it create a summary for the fic.
Summary:
In a realm where magic and destiny intertwine, the legend of Merlin and Arthur takes a profound turn. In this world, balance is not just a concept but a law, as immutable as the stars. Merlin, the immortal sorcerer bound to the Pendragon lineage, carries a secret burden—a magical tether that binds his fate to Arthur's, the once and future king.
For every wound Merlin suffers that should have claimed his life, a mark appears on Arthur, not as a wound but as a scar, etched into his skin like a tattoo born of fire. These marks do not pain Arthur, yet they burn with the intensity of a flame, a constant reminder of battles fought and unseen forces at play.
Arthur, raised in the chivalrous life of a knight, had always believed these scars to be battle wounds, a testament to his bravery and strength. However, his father, King Uther, a man with a heart hardened by his crusade against magic, sees something more sinister in these mysterious marks. He watches, suspicion growing like a disease, as Arthur accumulates scars even when he hasn't stepped foot on the battlefield.
The pivotal moment comes during a time of plague, when Arthur is bedridden, his strength sapped by fever and illness. Merlin, ever loyal, takes up arms alongside the knights, venturing into the fray to protect the kingdom that Arthur cannot defend.
It is during this time that Uther, visiting his son, notices fresh scars blossoming on Arthur's skin—scars that could not possibly have come from his sickbed. The realization strikes Uther with the force of a thunderbolt: these are no ordinary scars, and his son, born of magic himself, might be entangled in sorcery.
Haunted by paranoia and the fear of magic, Uther confronts Merlin, demanding answers to the riddles that have plagued his reign. It is then, under the weight of accusation and the threat of death, that Merlin reveals the truth of their connection, a truth as old as time itself.
A MERTHUR SOULMATES AU (the whole show was a soulmates au but bare with me.)
Anyways if you liked the idea, do tell me. And if enough people will like it I'll write it!
Let me know! ~L
