RE: The Old Pond, a Humpbuckle Tale

in Freewriters2 years ago (edited)

Hi, not a problem to answer your questions. Yes, it's my work. I have never used AI to write a story and I won't do so. The screenshot is of a word counter app. I write my stories on that because it is part of my challenge to write a story in precisely 50 words (it is the word count that I am interested in). You can check out the Freewriters writing prompt everyday at @daily.prompt (some people write for 5 minutes others write for longer or shorter times). I've been writing on Hive (previously steem) for years so I don't feel I need to add an explanation to my posts. And my 50-word #ZapFic challenge is pretty well known (check out @zapfic.club) and has been going for many years now. edit: I will add a little bit to the end of my posts in future to state that it is my own work and my anti-AI stance on writing and other art work. #NotARobot!
Further edit: I've seen you are a writer. I'm guessing by your question that you may also be anti-AI. You might be interested in a facebook group I'm on (as Bruce Arbuckle) "Writers Against A.I. Writing Support Group" https://www.facebook.com/groups/759974362363357

Thank you very much for your response. Actually, I used AI today to generate an image to illustrate my story as unfortunately, I don't have recourse to a staff artist, lol. As a matter of fact, you're right, I appreciate the unique aspect of the creative process and wouldn't compromise that for anything. I will take a look at that site

Yeah, I've been guilty of experimenting with an image generator in the past. After deciding I was anti Ai in writing I paid for an image to use for my Humpbuckle Tales (a young artist on Hive). But that's an image ill be using over and over, I don't have the resources to pay on a daily basis (that's another reason for the screenshot)

Exactly, that's a recurrent challenge I face and I know I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to find the right image. It probably doesn't matter as much to readers as it does to me but I want to pursue excellence and not just make do
