on the topic of not using AI for research, also be aware of using automatic Google results because they rely on AI too and don’t ACTUALLY know what they’re talking about
case in point: oh let’s Google what flowers are safe for cats!
Google: lilies! source? trust me bro
Lilies?
You mean perhaps the most poisonous plant for cats there is? that can cause sudden Organ Shut Down and Death? Thanks Google! Good thing I can rely on your handy suggestions so I don’t have to click on any actual websites and read to make sure your information is correct! (Also tulips and daffodils will also definitely Smite your cat but I’m not sure about the other flowers)
remember just because Google or an AI is telling you something confidently doesn’t mean it actually knows what it’s talking about
I trust no seasoned writer or researcher does this but this is more a message to newer or younger writers or anyone with less experience with Google and how it works
SEO hit search reliability over the head. AI has slit its throat. Double, triple, quadruple cross-check everything.
This exact phenomenon resulted in my dog becoming very, very ill. I wanted to replace her usual treat— peanut-butter— with something that had leas sugar to help protect her teeth. After a quick google search (which used to be more reliable, I feel), I learned that a little cream cheese would be a fine substitute.
It was NOT. My dog had pancreatitis within the week. It was heartbreaking, expensive, and stressful. Please triple check and makes sure your resources are reliable!
listen I say this with patience bc some people may genuinely have not thought about this before but if you firmly say “AI art is terribly unethical and steals from artists” (which is correct) but then turn around and use voice AIs to generate songs/voice lines that sound like your favourite voice actors or singers……………………………………that is also AI art and it is also terribly unethical
just a few examples of voice actors making their stance clear for all the ppl who are trying to disagree w me
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS! RUSSIA HAS BLOWN UP THE KHAKIBKA HYDROELECTROSTATION DAM AND IS FLOODING COUNTLESS UKRAINIAN TOWNS AND VILLAGES! THIS IS THE BIGGEST ECOLOGICAL CATASTROPHE IN EUROPE SINCE CHORNOBYL!
Post written and provided by @ohsalome: Now, the situation is desperate. I know I’ve bothered you with donations recently, but this is a time-sensitive matter. I’ve collected several organisations that are currently helping to evacuate people from the territory that is/will be soon flooded. Please, please, send them any cent you can and signal boost this, the things are really BAD and we need as much help as we can get:
PEOPLE ARE DROWNING, THE ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ARE BEING WIPED OUT! THIS IS SOME OF THE MOST FERTILE SOIL ON THE EARTH, WHICH HAS BEEN GROWING GRAIN FOR EXPORT TO HUNDEREDS OF COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE ONES MOST DEPENDANT ON FOREIGN EXPORTS!
Here you can also donate to the Firefighters foundation that works directly with The State Emergency Service of Ukraine. They’re collecting money to buy a lot of motor pumps tu pump the water from flooded areas.
In case only children are trying to write realistic sibling interactions : remember this card and the fact that this person’s sibling saw their illiterate child buy this, in fact probably paid for it, and said nothing
characters who refuse to heal. characters who change but only for the worse. characters who are trapped by their grief and rage. characters who unravel throughout the narrative. i am putting them in my pocket for later
