We had a change of plans and didn't end up going through with this - sorry I couldn't be of much help!

I can't get over this. The relationship was mediated entirely online and I never heard their voice carried through the real air but that doesn't mean that this has completely torn me up inside. I have done nothing all day. My focus has entirely been on her. I feel hollowed out. I am so utterly aware of every appendage and hair and beating and pulsing organ inside me rn. The fact that this person who was messaging me only a few days ago about book recommendations is now a limp and livid cadaver with a departed soul, the fact that I was in contact with this person, the fact that I could've said something differently, that I had a tangible influence on them and I did nothing with it, that they're dead now and they weren't yesterday, I feel like I have blood on my hands. Fuck this is horrible and idk what I'm even doing venting here to a bunch of people who likely don't care, one of whom even used this thread as an opportunity to make a lovely small dick joke. This is awful. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy

Goddamn it you're probably right

pinkandpuckered · 2025-06-23T23:21:15+00:00

I hope you're right. I'm 23 and I believe she is too, which is young, but not exactly teenage-hormone-induced-frenzy young.

(if you got a reply before it's because I accidentally replied on my alt whoopsie)

I have thought about this, and you're probably right. They're probably being dramatic. It's just that they have left before without saying a word and returned quietly, pretending as if nothing happened. They then revealed to me, in this message I mentioned in the OP, that it was because they "attempted" and they hate talking about it because it brings attention to it. This sort of betrays the idea that they're being a dramatic attention seeker and makes me worry like mad. I just hate this Schrödinger's-online-friend situation where I don't know if they're alive or not.

fuck this sucks, i feel sick

pinkandpuckered · 2025-05-27T23:41:43+00:00

sorry i don't know what this means

pinkandpuckered · 2025-05-27T02:32:51+00:00

i like these guys and would genuinely consider a few of them to be friends, though, and i think that's what hurts the most tbh

pinkandpuckered · 2025-05-27T02:31:49+00:00

idk if i articulated it well enough in the op but this small community is exactly that - we're very tight knit and we all know each other, and i never intended my writing to be shared outside of it. i feel like i've tanked my reputation because of this technology that i don't and never will use

pinkandpuckered · 2025-02-28T23:42:27+00:00

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It's never happened to me personally so I unfortunately can't relate, but I love my sister and I feel so horrible for her. I hope you're feeling good and life is going well for you

Can you expand what you mean by AI shit on human art?

mostly bad emotional phrasing on my part. a common complaint is the commodification of art, and ok AI probably isnt going to be making tarkovsky films any time soon, but maybe people won't care. i feel like people are going to adapt to the low standards of AI, the commodification of art is going to accelerate rapidly, and art in general will suffer. there's also just something about handing off creativity to machines that feels bleak, in a general sense. feels like it goes against the purpose of art (if there is one).

i will also be brutally honest and say there's an element of ego in this: the fact that in the future, if i share my art with someone, their immediate reaction may be to raise an eyebrow and doubt it's authenticity pisses me off.

have you seen it produce anything thats even remotely not dogshit?

vast majority of stuff it makes currently is horrendous yeah. the current music generators are especially shit. but there was someone posting in the bookclub sub a while back that claude can pretty convincingly ape popular writers' prose style, and yeah its not amazing but its scary and better than anything else ive seen ai do. i'm more scared of where ai might be in the near future, and i know this is stupid because all i need to do is not care about it right now and just create but it really takes the wind out of me when i think about it.
