  3. You web writers have taught AI some truly terrible writing habits

    Web writers, the AI has been trained on your public work, and it shows. You all have taught AI some truly terrible writing habits

    HFY writers have taught AI it has to start stories with “Bob sat on the bridge of the Earth Ship Big Birtha”. So AI does just that, even when

    I was listening to a narration today. I did not know it was AI, as the introductory narration was pretty decent by free-on-the-web standards. Then it just broke with that and had some character I didn’t care about sitting somewhere. It was so bad it made me stop to check the comments, which confirmed the story was by an AI.

    You all have such bad writing habits that the AI has learned to be not even as good. This is a lesson to us all. With computers, you must remember rubbish in; rubbish out (to my US readers, garbage in; garbage out).

    It is probably because the LLM industry is so desperate for content to train on that it does not distinguish between writers learning to write and writers having learned to tell great stories with good introductions.

    As a result, AI writing makes all the writing mistakes.

  4. Why do I keep checking Humble Bundle for new book bundles when a) I haven't read the vast majority of books that I've already bought and b) they're so frequently disappointing because there's an increasing amount of GenAI bullshit in there? 😕

    (The obvious answer is "in case there's another Black Library bundle… and it actually has NEW stuff")

  5. Why in the WideWideWorldOfSports isn't there a tool to Search for specific open windows in browsers!?! 😵‍💫

  6. Part 3: go dumbphone?
    -i have 2 jobs that both require whatsap for communication, even on the move
    -i need modern banking app
    -some functions like navigation and access to webbrowser is sometimes needed on the go so i would need backup smartphone anyway for travel

    So, even if i go full dumbphobe i would end up needing a smartone on the side. Like it or not you are living in a digital world honey!

  7. Part 2: bad phone!
    -Always reaching for it at home
    -So many messages always interrupting thought!
    -"i have to ansver imediatly!" feeling i get when i hear a notice
    -Going to same old sites and do nothing of value or even fun, not really reading anything
    -not writing things down anymore

    I only post and browse mastodon as my social media so i dont have doomscrolling habits at least.

  11. @doctormo In Firefox, I use an add-on that lets me "stash" tabs for later in theory.

    In practice, tab stashes are where tabs go to die.

  12. Here’s a hint for anyone wanting to break old habits and save money in the process. I did this in a time long ago and it worked a treat.
    I opened a savings account that I named the Didn’t Account. I carried a notebook with me, and every time I didn’t do the things I was trying to stop doing, I noted the fact. At the end of each day, I transferred the money I saved by not doing those things into the Didn’t Account. Very effective at making me think carefully each time I was tempted and very rewarding to see how fast that saved money accumulated. It worked for me, so it may for you. #BadHabits #savings #money #health #finance #wealth

  15. Perfect characters are boring – what vices do yours have?

    A vice is a practice, behaviour, or habit generally considered morally wrong in the associated society. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault, a negative character trait, a defect, an infirmity, or a bad or unhealthy habit. Vices are usually associated with a fault in a person’s character or temperament rather than their morality.

    Vice, Wikipedia

    This question comes from a brainstorming session at a writer’s night run by Thanet Creative. Thanks go to Carol, Danny, Janet, and Matt.
