This whole world is a foreign land

I spent two hours making an essay for my French teacher about Les Misérables, not even a few hours later the teacher mailed me to tell me it was AI generated.

My only saving grace is that I recorded myself while writing, I did not use an ounce of AI help in the essay. This whole incident was two weeks ago although I have read that detectors are unreliable, wtv I may have to do research.
Holy cow - did you record yourself because you were worried that you might get accused of using AI? Is this the current state that academia is in?
 
I am sure the Tolstoy posters wouldn't mind you waiting a day until you are in a better headspace to post a slightly longer reply that gave them something to work off.
That’s not the issue. The issue is, sometimes I just don’t have much to say.

I’ve had threads where people will drop 13 paragraphs of purple prose in a reply, and at best I have a 2 paragraphs to respond with.

One notable example, I had a thread where my partner had half a page of their character pondering to themselves about something. Asks my character a question. My response was 3 sentences. I answered the question, asked them something in response. They told me they didn’t have enough to work with.

I can’t help that. Answer the question. Not every reply needs to be equal to the last.
 
This may be off topic, but that's a really interesting concept so would you mind elaborating on it so I have a better idea of what you mean by it?
So basically, the french exact definition is:

"La culture du vide c'est l'art de parler sans rien dire. L'important c'est l'attention, c'est le temps de visionnage, les partages, les likes. Une bonne mise en forme à remplacer l'information importante. L'apparence est devenue le tout."

Or:

"The culture of the void is the art of talking without saying anything. What's important is getting noticed, getting watch time, views, shares, and, likes. It's a good way to replace important information. Appearances have become everything."

It's basically just wanting to be seen, or in this case, to be complimented, liked or noticed for fake AI writing that you claim to be yours.
 
I am of the opinion that if you are using AI to write parts of a post or a whole post in something we are writing then I would rather not finish that thread. The use for grammar and vocabulary is fine, that helps things all the time. For me, writing is something I put my energy and something I enjoy doing, similar to gaming and baking. I wouldn't enjoy those things if I had an AI playing the games for me, or baking the goods for me so I don't enjoy it writing for me either.

Not getting into the debate on detectors and their reliability. But figured I would state my views on using AI to replace ourselves in a process that is creative and fun. Turning something full of heart and soul, into cold, dull pieces. For me, the biggest insult you can do is just using AI to form a reply to our thread, makes me feel that you don't care or want to expend any effort in our thread.

Whereas I will spend solid time on formulating my replies. They aren't perfect, or even good, I am still pleased to know it is something I wrote and something I formed in my own mind with my own words.

I genuinely just recorded myself because I'm autistic ASF (not a joke, i really am.) and wanted to see my writing process and thoughts because I often think out loud and reread everything I write.

I do it for most academic works.

Though the french academic system is fucked, you won't ever see me say anything good about it.

Tbh I really value short posts because of my time and device constraints, and because I like short stories and poems, and because I enjoy efficiently blowing someone's mind or dropping a one-liner that makes them laugh or turns a whole scene on its head. I always think of this one Sith RPer I encountered a few times like 20 years ago. They had a knack for making an outsized impact, even a frightening one, in like 100 words. I admired that and I've tried to do some of that.

The massive amount of seemingly full AI posts are what have made me demotivated and uninterested in writing. When characters are just reading my character's thoughts in response, I know no one put in the effort to really read what I wrote or put together, or read what the AI spit out for them and comprehended it enough to stop and think if it even made sense before posting a reply. It has sucked the joy out of RP for me.

I didn't enjoy someone just having ChatGPT argue with me IC because they were bored and thought it would be entertaining and put the effort of the argument they picked on their half through a generated thing to argue for them with points that make no sense. It's insulting.

Use it if you're stuck, use it for spelling and grammar help, but like... all the time for everything? Every ones writing style now sounds the exact same and is boring and nu-inventively stale.

AI is an amazing tool and can be very fun but if you're just gonna spit out ai posts... just go rp with AI. I don't wanna write to an rp forum or site to write with bots.

This is honestly why I will put everything I write for class through a free, not necessarily too good, AI detector. Because apparently the way I phrase things is too similar to AI. Basically, if I can fix it to the point where the cheap detector only flags a little bit (like 25% or less) then it won't raise flag enough for me to hey accused of plagiarism that I didn't even commit.

I will say that I refuse to have to do this with a hobby though. Like my acedemic career may hinge on possible false positives, but my silly lil rp posts don't effect my ability to finish my degree so why should I have to spend an extra 30-40 minutes making edits to appease a crappy free AI detector and have to change things I generally love about how I write just to make it look less "AI style"?

Nope, absolutely not. I'm gonna write how I damn well please.

It's basically just wanting to be seen, or in this case, to be complimented, liked or noticed for fake AI writing that you claim to be yours.
That's such a fascinating thing to have a whole concept for. Dang! Thanks for the elaboration!

People often told me I wrote like a bot in my early days of rp because I was translating 50% of what they wrote/I wrote. Didn't matter then won't matter now.

I am 100% on board with using LLM AI to check spelling, fix grammar, to help refine ideas, to spit out minor NPCs, or help with area descriptions.

BUT

I came to Chaos to write with people, if I wanted to RP against an AI, there are dozens of other sites that offer that service. And if you feel worried that you only have 100 words and I wrote 600 (Not that I do that often) I'd rather just have that 100 words than someone fluffing it up with AI to match.
 
Quantity does not seem to be the primary concern of people implementing AI to a greater degree than over-powered Grammarly. I would suggest that it is the quality that people seek to improve.

Making no judgment call on the right or wrong. Just wanted to refocus the discussion from the quantity issue which I think is not as relevant.
