Same with using AI to “write” a novel. If you can’t write the novel without AI, you shouldn’t be writing a novel I fear.

@SAYLOR wait how are people using AI to write books??? like to research or something?

@SAYLOR oh no, worse. There are people actually typing things in like “write a novel similar to x by x author” or they’ll do it with specific scenes. There was an author who got caught doing it because they published the book and left the prompts they gave the AI in😵‍💫

@SAYLOR one of them that I saw an article about I just found again, it was a Lena McDonald, I guess she writes some kind of dark fantasy or something? Anyways she left prompts to AI in the book, people pointed it out, and then the book was just quietly updated. Yikes.

plagiarizing is fine for a first draft as long as you can eventually make it your own - i find copying the style of someone else is a good exercise

@DYLAN_SAGE plagiarizing and emulating a writing style are two different things— usually, but obviously sometimes someone does both.

@SAYLOR fair - i guess i forgot that "plagiarize" inherently means you're taking credit for the work lmao

this is super real . And I think there’s a difference between taking inspiration as a jumping off point and straight up copying, the goal of finding your own voice is by writing & writing & writing

Any man, any task. I’m sure there are other ways to strengthen your relationships with men but this is the easiest I’ve found and my method also gets a task done. Ask your dad to build shelves, ask some guy on your street to mow your lawn, ask your friend to collect a parcel for you, ask your brother to hang a picture frame. So many tasks get done and so many men feel needed and appreciated. Could offer them a beer to make it transactional but it’s almost never necessary.
