incredible wordcraft on it, the framing, the order of it that hits you like a ton of bricks, it's great work.

In 2022, before Chatgpt and everything that came next, I participated in this study. It was framed as a research on a new tool that I could try and offer my opinion on. I didn't know that it was trained on copyrighted material.

Decided to remove my QT and do my own separate thread. I think we can critique the participation of the 13 authors and drag the shit out of Wordcraft without blacklisting the authors. Many if not all of them are vocally anti-AI.

There’s a colloquial French way of saying “zero fucks given” that translates to “I’m painting my balls with the brush of indifference.” A Finnish version is “it interests me as much as a kilogram of shit.” But my favourite is from old Greek slang and it goes “flowers on my dick and bees all around.”

The prose in this book is on par with Rien Gray, Benjanun Sriduangkaew, Devi LaCroix, & May Peterson.
I’d read it just for the wordcraft even if the story weren’t fascinating (which it is)

And on a purely personal note... This? This took 8 weeks and a giant slop machine to write?..
I can (and do) write better funny listicle stories in under 2 hours at Tim Hortons, fueled by naught by coffee, donuts, and mischief.
Shame. Shame.

His wordcraft always leaves me in awe:
“Choired by gull shriek and surf rasp…”
Sweet gods, what treasure.
“Choired by gull shriek and surf rasp…”
Sweet gods, what treasure.
Every salt-hag has her place of standing. Rocks upon which she sings to summon the winds. Choired by gull shriek and surf rasp, these are her tide temples. These are her places where waves whisper wonders. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

The original poster deleted their post, which was this: a workshop where 13 authors used Wordcraft, a Google LLM billed as a "magic text editor" to generate stories. You may think the authors deserve the benefit of the doubt because this was in 2022 & some of the authors are now anti-AI. I don't.

just caught up on the wordcraft thing lol. I'm glad I didn't see it at the end of a long tiring day—now thinking it through in the cool light of morning

Because I’m slow at all personal entertainment, I finished reading The Color of Magic tonight. It’s my first Pratchett novel; highly entertaining in its wordcraft and imagination. I grew to love the two hapless heroes. Did not expect it to end in a literal cliffhanger. Next is The Light Fantastic!

Speaking of writing - turns out it's more workout than wordcraft...

I have not drilled down into this wordcraft whatever but I do believe that based on my knowledge of a few of the authors listed here that they likely entered into this project in the spirit of the playground.

ok so I have 4 points on the wordcraft thing:
(1) it sucks and everyone should have known better. I'll say more about that in a minute.
