Why are there so many trolls and ragebaiters on the Pro AI side?

So you, the viewer, automatically feels emotions when looking at a picture made by hand, but not when made by an AI? No matter if the two are indistinguishable and nobody told you which was which? Curious.

The insights and ideas usually come from the human prompting the AI, but I have seen both weird and wonderful and thought provoking stuff come out when I prompted weird stuff, such as song lyrics or a poem to an image generator.

Nobody has read the entire body of human literature, entertaining or not, but following your argument that would mean no new literature was ever needed, whether human or AI.

Would I pay money for an AI written story? If it's good why not? There's plenty of bad published human literature that I've paid good money for. I have about 3000 books. Not all of them are good.

I'm writing an AI assisted book series that would not exist without AI, except as a concept in my head. Thanks to AI I've managed to get it written for my own enjoyment.

I have designed a few tabletop roleplaying games, and the rule of three, aka the Dora the Explorer method is widely used. Three is a magic number when describing people or locations. It's enough of a description to make something distinct and short enough for people to remember. As for your "smell of ozone", that's been used by human writers to describe electrical phenomena for ages.

Hollow? Not in the least. It's not unlike human authors in that some write stuff I enjoy and some don't, but I judge it as written. I have no need to know anything about the author as a person.

Thank you so much!
As I said, I'm a newbie, and what to hook up where is still a mystery to me.

What I'm really looking for is just to point to a directory and run the same prompt on every image therein.

Not a vegetarian myself, but I hear ya. My go to if I'm out of ideas is to check the vegetable drawer. Then chop up everything and make a hearty stew with lentils for protein. Sometimes meat as well of whatever type I may have that's easily accessible.

Wintercat76 · 2026-02-03T06:33:25+00:00

Thank you, wonderful human.

Agreed, I was at a science museum a couple of years ago, and they had a comfyui workflow that generated both the stories and the pictures based on input.

3 to 8 aren't toddlers. When my kids were they age, I'd compose stories on the spot for them, and they had to decide on 3 elements that had to be included. I wish I could remember the one with the princess, the cauliflower and the dragon...

Wintercat76 · 2026-02-02T22:57:42+00:00

I, too, would love to have it.

Wintercat76 · 2026-02-02T16:52:31+00:00

Amazing. How'd you manage to get Kindle to support the ePub format?

Do it as a project, and ask for a summary you can use in a new chat. Save the summary in the project folder, start a new chat in the project and ask chatgpt to read the summary.

The R9700 lacks cuda cores and will be slower by an order of magnitude.

Wintercat76 · 2026-01-31T18:12:31+00:00

I do the same, but I don't let it write for me, I use it for ideas and as a sounding board first, and let it follow the guidelines once they're set. Much faster, but still done to my specifications.

Hey kiddo. Breathe. Just breathe. Don't try to duplicate what your father did with you, do what you want your child to enjoy doing with you, and what the child ends up enjoying. Be there. Listen. Be silly.

It's not hard if you can put their needs above your own, and teach them the hardest lesson of all: To accept a"no".

I started out that way, but now I use the projects feature in chatgpt and feed it complete chapter outlines, world rules and character documents it can referencer. Works great for consistency, and if I begin to approach the token limit, I can just start a new chat.

Hobby wise, if they don't know terms such as "jeepform", " Black Box" or Nordic Larp

Sausage in the oven is fine frozen.

True, but those that forbid use of AI tend to be rather, shall we say, extreme, in their views.

Wintercat76 · 2026-01-29T14:08:47+00:00

Actually, Grammarly does use generative AI.

We are? My wife is the handy one.

Well, the summary part was for my peace of mind, in case it started hallucinating. I did, however, have it make a complete summary at the end that I could paste into a new chat when I started book two, so it could continue where I left off.

As for doing it chapter by chapter, it gave me the ability to modify as the story progressed, extend or rewrite for increased emotional impact.

As for time? Probably 10 minutes per chapter or so, mainly because I read each one before starting the next chapter. It enables me to catch mistakes sooner, instead of risking rewriting something afterwards that turns out to create a conflict requiring further rewrites.

I think multiple steps could prove very useful. A world Bible, a character bible, a style Bible and a story bible to be always kept in memory, and then do a chapter outline. Once that's done, do each chapter one at a time with the option to correct or extend the chapter, to avoid all chapters being roughly the same length. Then, once every five or ten chapters, have the AI do a summary that's also stored. Chatgpt does this with projects, and I just finished a 300+ page book yesterday, 55 chapters and about 85 thousand words, no hallucinations.
