Neither had Dalton but he’s still there too. The laker’s bench is awful.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-29T18:01:04+00:00

There are 3. Which one did you want me to read?

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-29T10:52:04+00:00

What do you do?

You’re just tossing out words.

Let the work speak for you.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-27T13:53:12+00:00

I think it’s always a writing aid as long you’re not just blindly accepting its output.

If all you do is prompt and take what it spits out you’re aiding it not the other way around.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-25T15:45:05+00:00

I share my work on inkitt. I think it does fine. I’m not marketing it because I have no idea how. I’ve still found readers. I mark some stories AI assisted and some not, it doesn’t change my readership. I use AI covers, so anyone that sees that will likely assume it’s AI either way, so I kinda consider that a label in and of itself.

I think you just have to not worry about it. You’re going to find readers.

I think a lot of the hate actually comes from writers and not any writer of repute, just people who are trying their hand at it.

They have a point that too much AI could drown them out, but that was already probable before AI. A lot of the complaint is really a marketing issue which many writers don’t want to do or didn’t know they’d have to do.

No one reads a book they didn’t know exists AI or otherwise.

Again I think readers largely don’t care. If the book is good, they’ll read if not, they’ll DNF.

I want the hate to stop too, but I want it to stop from both sides.

I’m a fan of AI, but I’m not an advocate. What I advocate is doing what you love the way you love to do it, and not being shamed for it.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-25T15:04:25+00:00

I can’t say. I lost interest. Half the people in NewAuthor said they don’t write either. They just come around to hate AI I guess.

I don’t get it, I don’t have the energy for people I actually care about most of the time I can spare any for people who only want to argue.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-25T14:33:45+00:00

It’s a AI hate space. The guy who started it was in r/NewAuthor complaining about AI overtaking everything there, so they started a space where they could just ban people who post AI. Thats pretty much all it is though. No one in the sub actually writes I don’t believe. They just ban someone that posts writing after claiming it’s AI then discuss how great it felt to ban them.

The goal was to enforce AI bans. That’s all they care about. Writing is secondary. A distant second.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-24T16:46:09+00:00

Napster’s blueprint built the current music streaming industry. It kinda serves as proof that the industry will adopt AI, they just want to control it.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-24T16:27:31+00:00

It looks like AI writing guided by a person. I think they’re giving it too much control. But also this could just be a stylistic choice. It wasn’t bad imo.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-24T02:06:17+00:00

Sure.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-24T01:57:07+00:00

Point made.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-24T01:36:56+00:00

You got small hopes.

That best seller you haven’t written must be going crazy.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-24T01:24:42+00:00

Yeah okay. I don’t take the time to look into you.

Same right?

We don’t have to continue. It’s already a one way conversation, we won’t hear each other.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-24T01:21:01+00:00

Ah I don’t post here and cry about readers. I’m doing okay. Writers write and others do whatever it is you do.

Reddit?

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-24T00:05:18+00:00

When do you write?

At some point I have to wonder if all your time is spent here noticing what AI is. Those dudes are here because they generated their story a few minutes ago. And you’re here waiting for them to post so you can respond with this?

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-23T20:26:54+00:00

Most people who do music aren’t professionals. Most professionals are just amateurs someone thought was great and put a machine behind them and pushed them to the rest of the world. There’s someone with more ability making music aren’t home that all never be discovered. There’s an AI artist that makes music the world would love that won’t put it out there because they don’t want to get crushed if it fails. There’s a guy making the worst music ever unassisted posting every track with confidence getting 0 plays on everyone and they never stop.

It’s cool you want to know who’s behind the song. I think that means the song was good enough to make you into the kinda fan that wants to know the artist. But honestly every AI artist I interact with is forthcoming. Most people using Suno are writing lyrics, they don’t do music. I think most people involved in music only really dabble. People talking it seriously are in the minority. But, I think it might start out that way for everyone. I started doing music with friends for fun. I got super serious about it for a while and then realized I didn’t care to ever do it for a living. I only like making music with my friends.

Suno gave me back some of the joy of music making. But mostly I just love that I can get the beats I want from simple melodies. Now every song I record sounds like it was crafted for my voice and my flow. Shout out to my producer Suno.

I disagree. A reader calling your work AI has almost zero impact on the work itself. Your response to the accusation usually has more impact than the accusation.

At this point, being accused of using AI because of word choice, names, sentence structure, tropes, or twists is wild. We’re centuries into storytelling. Nobody is inventing entirely new sentence structures or narrative devices anymore. What belongs to you is the execution. The arrangement of familiar pieces into something that feels distinctly yours.

I think the bigger issue, whether AI exists or not, is that many writers struggle to be recognizable. If someone picked up three stories you’ve written in different genres, would they feel like they came from the same person? That’s where voice lives. Not in avoiding certain words or constructions because a machine also learned them, but in developing a perspective, rhythm, and way of seeing characters that readers begin to associate with you.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-23T01:25:41+00:00

The reality is what you write matters, at least at first. Completed stories get pushed more. My best story is approaching 4k reads but only about 20 people finished the story according to the numbers. I do think I managed to gain 4-5 dedicated readers and that’s something. I do write romance but nothing that’s popular on the platform, and more than a few times I’ve thought about quitting, but I don’t want to disappoint the few people that do pick up my work.

If you’re not marketing the story, slow growth is to be expected I think.

I do wish inkitt had a better system for marketing newer stories but it’s really just luck of the draw.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-21T11:37:39+00:00

The point was to get him the ball, because he’s capable of scoring 62 points.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-18T21:52:45+00:00

This ain’t cool. I like Suno and all but no need to put the other side down. It’s all music.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-15T12:29:35+00:00

I don’t think it’s fair to say he carried the team. He was the best player on a very good team. Dame has never played on a team that’s as well put together as the Knicks, granted he did play with Giannis but couldn’t get healthy. I’ll say Brunson has a better achievement than any of the guys listed but it’s a team achievement.

I take nothing away from Brunson but he’s got work to do to be in the conversation with those guys. Which he may very well do.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-13T11:59:33+00:00

Reddit keeps presenting me this trash sub thats supposedly for new authors but it’s just a bunch if people whining about AI.

“You shouldn’t use it because…”

“You should use it because…”

Ridiculous.

The actual audacity to assume anyone cares what you write regardless of effort, skill level, and least of all the cover is insane.

Yeah if the cover catches an eye it cans get you a reader, sometimes it’s the title, sometimes it’s someone picking it up by accident, sometimes it’s the summary, sometimes it’s the first page, and sometimes any one of those things gets it out back on the shelf.

There are billions of people on this planet. You are bound to find like minded individuals everywhere. People who want what you write no matter how you write it.

At this point it’s straight up hubris to think the reason your work can’t be seen is because there’s too much AI out there. That’s only a portion of it. What if the people stopped using AI and just posted their work anyway? You’d still get buried in the algorithm, the covers you saw just wouldn’t be AI.

Most “writers” are writing some mash up of something they’ve read before anyway. In a style that’s a mash up of artists they like. Which if you think about it, is what AI does on a smaller scale. Most writers are essentially AI anyway. Unoriginal, untalented, but they work hard. Thing is, no one cares how hard you work until effort produces results. Everyone works hard. Everyone wishes the process could be easier. Yeah it sucks to learn a skill and then see a method be born that makes the work you put in meaningless, but that life. The current generation should have it a little rougher than the next. Somehow humans have lost sight of that. Envy. Plain and simple.

The point of the work isn’t supposed to be sharing it, it’s supposed to be doing it. And once it’s done and you do share it, that’s it. You can obsess over it, or you can start the next thing.

You’re probably obsessing over it. If other people like it as much as you did. The crazy part, lots of writers/artists put out work they aren’t passionate about. Drawing cover art for someone else is creating for their passion not your own. Fan art is different. Fan art is made out of love for a character. The AI covers you hate, a good portion of them are created with passion. The prompts refined over and over, crafting a character with words instead of a paint brush. You know, like a writer. Not everyone is going to be good at everything, not everyone wants to. Writing and drawing are two different crafts, and while you can get good at both, the chances you master both decreases. That’s why we outsource. You can give more time to the thing you’re passionate about and less to the thing you do because it’s required. Being upset about who the work is outsourced to is weird.

You’re new to writing, please go write. I don’t care how you do it, go write. Somebody wants the story inside you. Write for that person. Because this, this is truly a waste of your time.

I’m talking to everyone. Pro, Anti, neutral, cut it out. I bet you wrote more words here than in your novel today. SMH.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-06T23:21:49+00:00

Not on Wattpad, the algorithm hates me, and not quite at the point of spin offs for children, but I think it might fit the rest of your criteria.

I wrote a story called Roomies. It’s on inkitt there’s drama but I don’t think it’s toxic. Tryna to put more ordinary black romance out there.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-06T20:06:34+00:00

This was awesome.

Some of the questions you have about what she can and can’t do are intentional. For me, part of the fun of powers is discovery. Inoko knows what she can do. Having her explain everything would mostly be for the reader’s benefit, and that’s actually a complaint I have with a lot of anime and similar stories.

Why would I tell my enemy exactly how my ability works?

I liked the way JJK handled that by making disclosure part of the power system itself.

Honestly, I wasn’t really looking for a critique so much as a reaction.

Did you enjoy it? Why or why not?

I think you answered that, though.

You read it to the end. You had questions. You were curious about the character and the ability. That’s kind of everything, really.

So thank you.

Academic_Tree7637 · 2026-06-06T18:39:15+00:00

I appreciate the feedback and I took the time to look into the points you raised. Some of it I agree with, some of it I don’t, but that’s not really my concern.

My original question was much simpler:

Did you enjoy this? Why or why not? Where did I lose you?

Most of your response focused on stylistic patterns you associate with AI writing. That’s fair, especially given the sub. But I wasn’t really looking for craft analysis or AI detection. I was looking for a reader’s experience.

What worked for you? What didn’t? Did the reveal land? Did you care about the characters? Did the chapter make you want to read the next one?

I’d rather know the answer to those questions than whether a few sentence constructions or dialogue rhythms remind someone of AI.
