    Is it normal that ChatGPT glazes me this much

    Reading all that, it's because you're leading it by the nose with your prompting. It's predictive. You treat it like someone who is flattering you, so it behaves that way. If you start the conversation by telling it to be highly adversarial so that you can try to find flaws it'll cook you alive.

    how to acquire more readers

    I am convinced at this point that those who ask this question on the forums (it happens a lot) deserve having few readers. Many of the people who are successful have voluntarily spent time creating guides on this, and just about every other question other authors have. They exist and can be...

    Litrpg system

    If you haven't read litrpgs or played a decent amount of rpg games (ttrpg or video game rpgs), then I don't advise writing one just to chase a trend. It'd be like trying to build a roof on a house when you've only ever lived in natural caves.

    What would your daily/weekly schedule look like if you were a professional author?

    I'd write from 9AM to Noon, then 1PM to 4PM M-F. Right now, I generally write 9-AM to Noon M, W, F, though sometimes other responsibilities displace this time. If I was making like 30k a year doing it, then I'd expand out that time to two 3 hour stints each day instead. I write best under a...

    The litrpgest litrpg?

    You should treat any system you make as a hybrid between world building and a character present in the story. It's more active in the story than things like gravity, but less personal than a mentor. If you suddenly saw an apple fall up, you'd be confused... unless someone threw it. If you...

    The litrpgest litrpg?

    LitRPG is a very big genre that many types of stories fall into. LitRPG can encompass: MMORPGs - Sword Art Online (or any other trapped in a video game for that matter where there is a semblance of a stat block) TTRPGs - These have a wide range of options from minimal to a lot of rpg stats...

    How to relax?

    The first question you should ask is: Why do I have stress? Sometimes people have unneeded or unbalanced stress, so if that is the case, you should consider doing the following: 1. Cut Caffeine (It'll get worse for like 3 days because of withdrawals, but it'll be better afterwards) 2. Get...

    AI opinion

    Everyone draws a line somewhere. The Amish, for example, still produce their own clothes through human labor. I am not saying your line is wrong, just pointing out that everyone draws the line in different places, and we do well to remember just how wide the choice space actually is on...

    AI opinion

    I'd like to elucidate my opinion because I think I might have made my statement a bit to general for something that deserves a bit more nuance. Large Language Model AI should not be doing the core aspect of what you are trying to do, whatever that may be. Don't use it to replace yourself, use...

    AI opinion

    If the words the AI wrote end up on the page, then you aren't writing. Further, it makes you a reader. If you want to ask questions or bounce ideas off AI, fine, but don't use it to write. If you want a grammar and spell checker, use grammarly.

    You're letting their brainrot live rent free in your head. Careful with that, you'll end up forgetting about vampires even.

    Do you consider yourself to be a likable person?

    My default state is unlikeable. When I need to be professional, I'm very likeable.

    I'm going crazy. Someone made a YouTube video about me.

    Dude you should read the description on the video that he calls you out on. "However, I am still on board with offering my fanfics as possible canon anime material in order to make them into canon anime shows." That is one sentence in a long paragraph there. Edit: Still less unhinged than the...

    I'm going crazy. Someone made a YouTube video about me.

    Dude is using cursive font and only occasionally breaking triple digit views. Internet is full of weird stalker types who got one-shotted by a single piece of pushback they received at one point. He'll probably mess with you for like a week before the next target comes up.

    Should the prohibited content rules for Scribblehub be ammended to include Illegal Monetization?

    I'll break my own statement about not responding to admit an error on my part, and point out an error for you. In-kind was wrong. Quid pro quo was what I meant. Yeah, I was a fool in phrasing, and sounded like a loon there. Anyway. Royalroad doesn't have author donations. That isn't a thing...

    Should the prohibited content rules for Scribblehub be ammended to include Illegal Monetization?

    I'm not going to bother looking up whoever Adamos is, nor do I care. The practical argument for whether any serious litigation might be brought against SH is likely less than 1% a year. Not zero, but not high enough to warrant immediate pressing concern. Performance and written works are...

    Should the prohibited content rules for Scribblehub be ammended to include Illegal Monetization?

    In kind donations when you produce no other works is taxable income and would be considered to be income related to that work. You might have a weak defense if the person produces many other works, but if they only produce one work, it's directly linked. Further, you've stated yourself that...

    Should the prohibited content rules for Scribblehub be ammended to include Illegal Monetization?

    I'm all for putting a lower limit on copyright, such that it expires regardless of upkeep. I'm a big fan of video game mods. Some companies encourage it, others send cease and desist letters. We can talk hypotheticals, and we can talk how we wish it worked, but we don't live in the...
