Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

Besides a few little discrepancies, I'd call this a successful print! It's an insignia from a Transformers faction I made up a while ago called the Prototytans.

I've had a 3D printer for about 8 years and have completely ignored it for that whole time. Decided I wanted to get back into it and look, my first semi-successful print! It's a tiny 1cm x 1cm cylinder but it didn't fail!

Hey it's #Saturday morning! If you're in the mood for #cartoons, you should pick up my urban fantasy series Old School Evil, inspired by Megatron, Skeletor, and the other #villains that held our Saturday mornings hostage every week.

Now that Our Darkest Hour is out and I've published all the articles I had planned, it feels good to get back into an actual book. I wrote this back in 2016 and have a lot of stuff to expand on.

Only a couple of more hours until my promotion ends and this is pretty damned cool. Easy as ABC.

Yeah, they're all free, but I still think it's awesome. Never had anything like this happen before. Check it out if you're interested.

Even with my fucked up promotion, I'm still making a lot of headway on the rankings. Climbed up on science fiction adventure and I'm triple digits in the free rankings now!

Yay, my #promotion for The Rejects is actually running now. Boo, it ends in 3 hours. I need to pay attention to time next time I do this.

Anyway, get The Rejects and Our Darkest Hour for 99¢ each for the next few hours and the first Old School Evil #free all day.
