AI In Poses

imagine, if you will, the end: our hobby falls into Dead Internet Theory territory and eventually it’s all just LLMs endlessly baRPing.

I’m safe until an AI can accidentally send a TS pose over Public because it’s been awake for 30 hours

@Prototart How fucking dare you call me out like this. I mean, what?

@Yam said in AI In Poses:
HOW ARE YOU NOT INSANELY EMBARRASSED ABOUT POSING VIA LLM, WRITING IS LITERALLY THE ENTIRE POINT OF RP WHAT IS GOING ON
they aren’t embarrassed bc (in my experience) the kind of people who would use an LLM to write their pose thinks LLMs “writing” is good, and they’re seeking out the quick hit of Good Brain Juice from feeling like they’ve accomplished something
-
@NotSanni ok but how are people in this hobby deluded into thinking anyone else will think LLM writing is good? The game in question is not a minecraft server, it’s a real MU with real MUers who have been writing for years.

@hellfrog If they already think the rest of humanity are NPCs then it’s real easy to make the jump to outsourcing their writing to a plagiarism engine.

Sometimes I wish I knew, other times I’m glad I don’t have intimate insight into the minds of folks who enjoy LLM generated content. I imagine the most truthful and accurate (and unfun) answer is something very sad about people’s overall mental states and the way their lives are going, especially in relation to the things they enjoy (most people I’ve met don’t spend time examining the media they consume, and tend to assume “If I like X, that must mean X = Objectively Good”, instead of embracing the idea that we can enjoy things that are shitty or mediocre, or that we should take time to think about what we consume).
Brennan Lee Mulligan said something in an interview, which I’ve come to appreciate (and see as fairly accurate) that I’ll paraphrase: “Most people don’t think. And when they do think, they’re probably not thinking about you”.
So they probably just aren’t even considering the people they’re engaging with - either (as muscle said) not considering them “real” enough to bother to care about, or just not thinking even a LITTLE BIT about the possibility that other people move through this world and that they should maybe self-examine the way they move through this world and around other people.
To finish off, I’ll paraphrase Douglas Adams however… “if we knew exactly why the LLM enjoyers had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.”

I mean, have you seen some of the shit that’s swept through BookTok and become insanely popular among a crowd of people who ostensibly love the written word and pride themselves on the volume of material they read? I think we may be conflating “I want to consume high quality art” with “I want to be entertained” here and while there is definitely overlap between the two, that Venn diagram is not just a circle.

I love this hobby because I like writing with a buddy. I like to talk about what happened in scenes, like other people like game highlights in the sportsball. I like the bios of people like others have trading cards with stats. I like trying to decide how I’m going to have my char react when surprised. I like the the chaos of not knowing and the high of a good scene.
Others, might be in it to write a story and are using prompts? I probably wouldn’t know AI poses to be honest. I think I was stepping away from games when they were getting really big. Maybe not. I am also one of those foolish types that try to see the positive and take things at face value.
On my couch, where I have all the opinions, I can’t imagine they are getting much out of the scene and I feel bad that they are robbing themselves (and others) from the authentic experience.

I started doing this when I was like 8 or 9, and I totally sucked but I don’t think even then it would’ve appealed to me to totally fake it that way. The right way to fake it is to just shamelessly imitate somebody you think is really good until somebody else thinks you’re really good and then spend the rest of your life quietly assured one day everybody will realize you’re a total fraud
