TF stories that aren't super short.

A good AI-produced bit of TF erotica still looks kind of amateurish to me (though props on it being grammatically correct, I guess). Just to quote from that other thread (and to be clear, this isn't to slag on jwyattguy who provided the prompts - just demonstrating the limits of the AI):



That is the "sexiest" part of the AI produced work, and it's boring. The reader still has to do most of the work to have any sort of reaction to that. It's like trying to get aroused by a Rorschach ink blot that kinda looks like a boob. At best, it can prompt you to create a scenario in your head, but you as the reader are still doing the heavy lifting.

Compare that to your own writing. You know how to build up to the TF, you know what sort of details are worth mentioning to your reader and what details can be left to the imagination, you know to call on several different senses in your description (eg. sight, sound, touch...), you have a sense of style that balances all that with the general flow of the story.

You're not competing against an AI. The AI sets a very low bar that any reasonably competent writer can surpass with ease, and you're a competent writer.

That said, it also sounds like you're looking for a reason not to write given the number of times you've announced you've quit. If you feel burnt out on writing, that's understandable. I've gone years between posting stories because the effort to enjoyment ratio feels a bit too high at times (that's effort compared to my own enjoyment of writing; that other people enjoy my writing is just a bonus but it doesn't factor into my decision to write). By all means, take a break; it's okay.

The trick is, you have to enjoy writing. If you enjoy writing, it doesn't matter what an AI is capable of. You write for yourself because you want to, and you share it with others because you want to.

I'm aware human written stories are better, but AI can churn them out fast. I'm concerned that people are getting dumber and lazier and will settle for low quality trash so long as they can get it fast. The average attention span is dropping like a fucking rock. Eventually no one at all is going to want to read something that effort went into writing that they'd have to wait for when they can push a few buttons and have a machine generate something of notably lower quality in seconds. If people will settle for machine generated garbage then putting real effort into writing is pointless and a waste of time. Besides the machines will only get better at it over time, eventually there won't be a discernable difference at all.

I used to have pride in my work and looked forward to getting feedback on it, but now I'd be worried that after spending hours on something someone would ask what program I used or what prompts I gave the AI.

I'm done.
