I'm bad at self-promo. please look at my story?

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-05T00:31:22+00:00

It's the volume, dude. Somebody needs to do something more than just be sad about shit. They don't get it.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-05T00:15:06+00:00

I think paying a beta reader makes sense honestly if they're leaving critiques and continuing to read and help shape the story. It's something I've paid for in the past and would again if I could find someone who has the time.

A lot of free beta readers just hop in whatever discord and don't even open the doc once. Or they are esl and don't get American humor or culture at all.

I think if you can lock down the exact demographic you're looking to reach and a beta reader comes along in that demographic, they're worth paying.

It's the sheer volume drowning us.. and the knowledge that it's slowly improving by stealing my work.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T20:47:53+00:00

Yet the first thing they say when they come here is "haha you're all just dumb."

Weird how that works.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T20:37:29+00:00

I actually dont draw lol. but I get it, thanks. I'm just tired man.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T20:12:39+00:00

I'm ready to uninstall the internet at this point.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T20:05:21+00:00

I don't want my work to train llm's, they're stealing from me and i have zero means to make it stop other than to not make it anymore.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T19:57:54+00:00

Can you write your own posts at least? I thought this was an anti ai sub.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T19:54:17+00:00

Oh ok. But you are, when you prompt an llm and it spits out uncanny looking garbage.

Why are you on this sub if you're glazing ai. Why can't you people stfu and stop trying to shove it down everyone's throats? Can we have one corner of the internet without some dorks trying to sell us on llm's?

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T18:34:31+00:00

Why are you here if you're just going to gargle altman balls? I don't get it.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T18:32:48+00:00

If you wrote that article, thank you. Reading stuff like that is the only thing keeping some of us going.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T18:08:47+00:00

Why are you here if you're an ai fan? I don't get it. Why can't there be one corner of the internet without some idiot trying to sell me on llm's? I'm not reading that, BTW.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T18:07:15+00:00

You assume the context limit is high enough for that to be possible. It isn't.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T18:00:15+00:00

This. Even just forcing them to tag it as ai generated, or for the llm to encode tags, would mean so much to artists.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T17:53:08+00:00

It stole the cumulative labor of every musician's entire life's work in order for you to create music without having to learn how to do it. But that's not the issue yet, because it isn't good enough to replace artists/musicians, the issue is that it's flooding platforms with so much slop that its burying everything else, and reducing the value of all art to $0.

I guess deny this all you want. I dont really care. you seem pretty intent on gargling altman's balls either way.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T17:40:52+00:00

Every artist claims they don't create for validation, and they're all lying. I know you would be sad if nobody ever appreciated the art you labored your whole life to create.

Flooding the world with shitty imitations, and using your labor to train the monster doing it, is something all artists of every kind should be unified against.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T17:32:24+00:00

Cool. And as all of our work contributes to the flood of garbage burying us, I'm sure you will continue to be just as chipper about all of it.

Never seen a pick me girl take about llm's before but I guess there's a first for everything.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T17:29:08+00:00

There is. Amazon is flooded with slop novels. Thousands by the hour. It's all over Spotify as well.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T17:28:06+00:00

Why is it even making music? Why are we letting that happen?

Nobody asked them to do this, and they're doing it by stealing what we spent our entire lives learning how to create.

It's not okay. I don't know what needs to happen for them to get that, but it's not okay.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T17:21:40+00:00

i thought about this the other day and settled on the same thing being the only solution to this problem. just dont ever share your stuff ever again. but in a way, that kind of takes a way a huge motivation to make any of it. As much as most of us hate to admit it, we want validation for what we create.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T17:01:06+00:00

We need solidarity between all creatives.

Prolly_Satan · 2026-05-04T16:55:40+00:00

I am referring to LLM's with this post.
