if you use AI to write your stories/poems, please declare it.
the reason we hate it is because people pass it off as their own work, when it clearly isn't. i do not want to read AI slop. i would much prefer read your messy words, broken grammar, and abundant typos as long as it has soul and as long as i can feel the person behind it.
if you ever use AI, decalre it. declare how much you used where and be truthful, please.
and remember, that using AI means you do not get to understand your mistakes and improve from them. so it's better to err, better to falter, and step back up with constructive criticism, than have character.ai or ChatGPT refine your words for you.
we were fine before AI, and it is nothing without our input.
