    How does that work on... age of maturity?

    Do you mean that your middle-aged porn actresses couldn't retroactively declare themselves twelve to force the Internet to delete their content?

    How does that work on... age of maturity?

    The legality is questionable. It depends on the country. Even in the United States, each state has a different law on the matter, some more strict than other, and yes, I mean, legality in regards to fiction (!!!) not real world interaction (which are covered by different law, usually) If...

    Why use AI to write your "book"?

    The saying about an infinite number of monkeys with typewriters, strangely, do apply to the "AI" generated stories, it is relatively close to how it works, but you need to consider probability. If there is an infinite number of monkeys (with typewriters), what is the probability that you would...

    Why use AI to write your "book"?

    Yeah, no, I am not trusting a journalist for that. How many years in prison journalist faces for lying? None. This entire "witch hunt" was started by the journalist, claiming that AI copies the images, i.e. the image you got is 1:1 the same as the "AI" has in its database. Thus, making...

    Why use AI to write your "book"?

    Yes, except, no. Do you know how so called "AI" work? It's based on probability. The program does its math and assumes that input containing a certain string of letters is the other string of letters, resulting in reply, but it doesn't understand the meaning of those letters, or words, or...

    Why use AI to write your "book"?

    That's a fair point. The writers, especially the amateur ones, want to be appreciated for all the effort they put in their work, even more so if they do so in their spare time, in order to express themselves, with no compensation in sight. That's true. What would be a point if there was a...

    Why use AI to write your "book"?

    Many people are upset about the "AI". I would think of it this way... Is your novel written by the "AI"? Judging from the tone of your post, I assume it is not, and you are very proud of your creation. Which is fair, the many artists are proud of the works which they created. However...

    Why use AI to write your "book"?

    You don't use "AI" to publish the book. Actual publishing is done by the actual publishing houses (duh, they are called this way because they publish, who would know) In order to be an officially published author, you have to pass through the review process done by the editors. Those editors...

    Is Tapas a good site to publish novels?

    Tapas website is owned by the South Korean media company: Kakao Entertainment Unlike the sites like Scribble Hub and Royal Road, they are an actual publisher, which means they may prioritize the IP they own over handling the self-published and amateur authors. The Scribble Hub, for example...

    Is there a way to tell what is indie writer work here and what is translation?

    For the sites like this, the ordinary plagiarisation - borrowing plots or characters from other book - is the good plagiarisation. It's a copyright infringement, yes, but it also requires the human input to put the entire thing together. Result is a book that wouldn't satisfy the lawyer, but...

    Is there a way to tell what is indie writer work here and what is translation?

    Still machine translations. Some adjustments have been made to make the story pass through filters, but still its machine translation. Amazon gets them too (and they pointedly look away as still get a share of profits) It isn't messed up that much. It is easy to be overwhelmed with bots...

    Is there a way to tell what is indie writer work here and what is translation?

    The stories / novels on this site are all either Original Works, i.e. "indie" novels, or occasional fan-fictions. What is not supposed to be there are machine translation of the mostly Asian novels. Sometimes it's difficult to tell them apart, as many authors aren't Americans and English isn't...

    Update content warnings to include AI usage

    I am exhausted by this topic. People continue to see this "AI Assisted" tag as some magical feature that would allow them to avoid so called "slop", however entirely forget that the scripts that continue to pump the mechanical translation to the site don't have feelings to feel ashamed and...

    Update content warnings to include AI usage

    Why it is so? Are you the guy who communicates with me with that fancy mechanical typewriter with USB? Or perhaps a Linux fan?

    Update content warnings to include AI usage

    It's also ranks as 1% AI generated, which ... ...honestly, it's not surprising, this is where the other Royal Road's novel I checked hovers at, between 0 - 2. How do you, however, prove it is not AI Assisted? The detector I use is quite generous, as opposed to copyleaks. How do you defend...

    Update content warnings to include AI usage

    160 followers on the Royal Road in two months. That's not a lot, by their standards. You get a lot of nice reviews though, which is unusual for them, so perhaps it helped after all
