@Kestrel I would upvote this more than once if I could

@Kestrel Honestly of all the reasons people have claimed that this hobby is dying, I think use of AI might be the thing that finally does kill it.

@Pavel Soooo, I haven’t been on any MU*s for like half a decade. Are…are people doing that? That seems…pointless. “Hey, let’s play basketball. But instead of us, let’s have robots play against each other while we do something else.” Writing is the whole point

@Ominous Some games are apparently using it to write theme, some people are apparently using it to ‘help’ write poses. If things keep going that route, soon enough it’ll just be LLMs ‘talking’ to each other in the dark.
He/Him. Opinions and views are solely my own unless specifically stated otherwise.

@Pavel Let’s name the phenomenon Dead Telnet Theory.

A ton of places seem to be using it to do grid descs

Will pay XP for descs on game, just as soon as we finish kidnapping the coder to make +sheet and +roll and such.

That’s not a surprise. I, too, hate writing so many things that will only maybe get read.
Though one shouldn’t take my understanding as approval, obviously. -

Perverse incentives are a big part of why we have an AI slop problem in this hobby.
-
I’ve always despised writing descs. That said I’d rather slap on a half sentence and call it a day, than use AI.
Unless a game demanded I write more. At that point, I could be tempted.

I still don’t even know where to start for describing hair styles, facial features — what constitutes “angular” that I’ve seen in writing? — let alone clothing intricacies. It’s not for lack of trying; I just have nfc how people know this stuff.
-
And it’s getting harder to find good context for verbally describing things especially hairstyles when the internet is full of AI slop. Try looking up a medium chunky bob right now and see how many different visuals that can mean, because the infrastructure is aimed at gathering as much traffic as possible and not at being actually receptive to the specific meaning of words.
There are some writing resources out there for facial features, clothes, hair, but they’re getting harder to find. Maybe we could start a sort of library for it.
