A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written.

AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence.

Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same.

There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that.

I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it.

If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene...

then it's real.

Edit: I did NOT expect this post to get this much attention. I'm truly sorry I made some people feel I'm doubting their genuinity as writers. This was not the point of this post; actually it was the opposite. My words aren't flawless, either; sometimes they come out wrong. I despise "AI witchunts" (if you read my earlier posts about this matter, you know). I tried to say, your love for your art is what makes it yours. No matter how you show it. I believe art is a connection between souls; a machine can't replicate that. It felt nice to hear that professionals in the industry (at least this one person) still search for that in what they choose to publish, too. That's why I wanted to share.

Edit 2. Please be kind in the comments. We're artists and writers, so passionate people, but we're on the same side here. Lift each other up. ❤️

The First Shadow takes place in 1959, with the final jopper scene taking place in 1963 when Hopper leaves for Vietnam, and then years after that we see Brenner tell Henry the blood transfusions worked and he is introduced to the "numbered children".

Kali was born in 1963/1964 and she wasn't born in the lab. She wasn't even born in the United States. She was born in London, and Brenner had to go through a lot of trouble to get her. Why? Why pick across-the-pond Kali and not some other random 5-year-old?

ST, TFS and Suspicious Minds have a lot that contradict each other, I can admit that, and really only what we see in the show is canon, but the book Suspicious Minds has Kali already having powers when Brenner takes her.
