So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’.
I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY.
Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

This is going to be the norm soon with the Internet littered with fake content. I've already caught fake 'quotes' from my books. Fake summaries. And yes, I saw a similar list online that had me releasing a fake book this year.
I went into my library's database of Chicago area newspapers to confirm this isn't fake, and it's not.
@chicago.suntimes.com Why the hell are you using ChatGPT to make up book titles? You used to have a books staff. Absolutely no fact checking?

The band is called "Talking Heads" and yet their heads mostly sing and play musical instruments. Has anyone looked into this?

These guys think they're spewing cutting-edge posthumanist theory and it's all just the corniest, shittiest science fiction that actual writers wouldn't waste a minute on.

the main concern is that with my genetic data the government can make a tiny clone of me that they can torture to get even more of my data

When I'm reading a book on Kindle and the "Popular Highlights" feature shows that a ton of readers highlighted some inane aphorism it actually makes me think less of the book.

The reason I went back to making Balatro 3 months after I essentially gave it up in March 2022 was because I was bored but the internet was out so I couldn't play Rocket League

genAI NPCS are shit for many reasons but also:
NPCs with one or two lines of dialog clearly communicate to the player that this character cannot help you progress.
We don't just choose not to include thousands of lines for NPCs because we're lazy or lack resources. It's bad design.

the web is cooked. I was reading a book that I wanted to find a summary of. Several top search results were for websites that had full “summaries” that were 75% AI hallucination and contained no more actual info about the book than you could gain by reading the dust jacket.

I have been reading a fascinating book about the history of bicycles and cycling and then out of nowhere BAM chapter 7 of 15 was devoted to people who have sex with their bikes. I haven’t laughed so hard reading anything in a while.

I’ll stop using y’all as unpaid therapists in a bit, but it’s endlessly frustrating watching teams that have shipped games get dismantled.
Mostly because each shipped game is kind of a miracle! You have a team of fucking wizards and you scatter them and their arcane knowledge to the four winds?

Still thinking about THE LONG GOODBYE. It’s obviously not the Marlowe we know, but that wasn’t really the point anyway. The point is there is no room in LA for a chain-smoking tough guy with a soft heart. Gould plays Marlowe as a slob and a rake-stepping loser and it rules.
