Yes, they are. People have to find ways to make money to pay rent, bills and eat, particularly when their resumes are not as densely packed as others. This is one way to do it. Wish I could do it, too :)

#52> We show that users especially gravitate toward fanfiction and erotica Why am i not surprised its primarily porn
- If you can generate something you're happy with, that's typically enough. External validation usually isn't a requirement for getting off to yourself, as opposed to other content where many of the primary benefits often are sharing - Plenty of people are into very niche things. Sometimes almost nothing exists (or is discoverable) that exactly hits the spot. Generative AI lets you hit the spot that nothing else has…
Fwiw, the unconditionally bans can almost be viewed as 'proof of human' when so many bots are running on autopilot on places like DA. UwU

#53LLMs suck at creative writing, all their edges get smoothed the fuck out of with RLHF for (brand) safety, so they write like they have a HR lady in the room with them, scrutinizing every sentence for adherence to the set of values very few people honestly hold. if you feed Claude/GPT/Gemini 100 chapters of ASOIAF and prompt it to continue, the story and the prose will degenerate into sterile purple slop within a few pages.

#54I had a sci-fi plot sketched out in my head, I had Codex give a whack at it. It was "ok" - not the worst content I've ever read, not the best. It was "sufficient."
But now you have a starting point to edit from. Just find a bit more motivation to continue writing...
my speculation is that not having written the original text means you don't have a mental history of all the decisions that went into writing it, and the context from being immersed in the work, making it a lot harder and less motivating to go write the next draft.

I don't mind bans on fully generated content, I just feel it's a bit unfair to ban any usage of generative AI anywhere.

"wrong" or "random" is not the same as "fiction" "non-fiction" doesn't mean "correct".

Words can have multiple senses, and in context i agree with the person claiming you are using the word wrong, given the context.

#58> Are readers generating fiction with AI models? Why not? Journalists, lawyers and pundits of various stripes are already doing it. Why shouldn't readers?
I suspect that those other groups are largely not trying to generate fiction.
I didn't see the word "try" in the headline, did you?

Because nobody wants to read AI generated text?
I think it's pretty clear from the discussed study that _someone_ wants to read that.
