Authors Are Accidentally Leaving AI Prompts in Their Novels

Would the old-school alternative would have been any better? "This scene was a hot mess; I had one of our in-house ghost writers rework it. -Ed."
mcv•8mo ago
That second rate novels use AI is probably unavoidable, but is at least one pass of proofreading by a human really too much to ask?
smeeger•8mo ago
i find it really strange that these romance novels, which contain graphic descriptions of sex and very often brutal acts of rape, not only have their own section in barnes and noble but can be found right of the register end caps at at least one target store near me. this is straight up pornography. and its being sold in tons of stores right in the open where kids can read it. its just very strange because 20 years ago im pretty sure target was not carrying graphic rape pornography. so now gambling is legal, sports betting, 10% of women are making porn and rape fantasies are being sold front and center in target. this feels like the biff future in back to the future.

Degeneracy has been successfully normalized.

What is and isn't culturally acceptable is always in flux. The norms of the 1950s United States are not some kind of absolute. In another 70 years they'll be different from today, as well.

i disagree. monotheistic values arent random
spicyusername•8mo ago
Can you elaborate on that?
smeeger•8mo ago
if you look at monotheism it usually draws from the same constellation of things. fasting is encouraged. humility. and some concept of intrinsic sinfulness which is actually a very deep insight into the nature of organisms that prioritize their own wellbeing over everything else. ie all organisms. monotheism springs up in response to the cynical nature of human society. but more broadly to protect us from all the cynical and unnatural consequences of human society, not just selfishness. monotheism is how human beings reconcile with the terrible products of their own society. and therefore it tends to be similar everywhere. but only in places where the population reached a tipping point and broadly adopted a moral crusade against those things.

40% of kids can't read at a basic level[1]. Kids reading these novels is much less of an issue than we think it is. They likely wouldn't even make it into a bookstore in the first place.

smeeger•8mo ago
i dont think its an issue at all. even if kids could read perfectly they would never pick up any kind of book because they simply arent interested books these days. im just pointing out that its creepy and inappropriate

There is an argument to be made that this is part of a collective trauma recovery process, where all the violence finally comes out from the “collective shadow“ (CG Jung), and finds a less violent and safer channel to be expressed and integrated in more healthy ways than if it was kept buried under repression and taboo.

It is well documented how repression leads to avoidance, in the sense that rarely people stay present and act in adult fashion when they witness violence, but typically chose actions that protect the perpetrators and not the victims. If this trend helps individuals to become “used to it“ on an emotional level, having processed their own shame around it, there’s a chance they may be able to act instead of shying away.

I'm interested in a source for the 10% statistic. There are only 42m sex workers worldwide... and that number is not entirely women, and not entirely people involved in content creation.
smeeger•8mo ago
well i would include nearly nude images on instagram in that figure… its showing your naked body and seducing men in exchange for influence and followers and ultimately money. if you add up all the women exhibitioning their bodies to seduce men for money… probably at least ten percent.
