thoughts are being thunk

My straight coworker who I am deeply in love with invited me to a Friendsgiving what kind of dessert can I make to convince her to leave her boyfriend of 9 years and run away with me

How I look after reading angst as if it was me personally in that situation

Hey horny writer lil heads up for you guys, the “ai” google is forcing into docs to “scan for grammar errors” has been proved to also be scanning for spicy content and multiple ppl have already got notifs saying like “we’re sorry, there was a system error and some of your work was lost” and it was only the horny stuff so uh

The layers of DO NO WANT in one blazed advertisment

This person has no understanding of fandom culture, oh my god. Fandom runs on the gift economy, on the sharing of our passion and artistic work. There is a reason why fandom rejects the very idea of AI-based fanworks, and the fact that some people don’t understand that and think they can make money of us and the work we create and share is laughable.

Fandom is not a monolith. I'm not an outsider, and you will find many varied opinions on many things. Gift economy is a notable part of it, but far from the only part of it. Regardless this does not take away from giving. Fandom does not reject AI as a whole, it is a segment that does. And, I have full will of being the best developer I can be. I'm gonna do my best to meet the needs of the community who chooses to use LyricWinter.

"Fandom is not a monolith", and yet we're ALL supposed to be okay with our works being fed into your theft machine? Where's the opt-out option to bar your app from accessing our works? Better yet, where's the opt in? The default assumption your app should be making is "writers have not given permission for an audio version of this work to be generated." The (very, very few) writers who are okay with their work being fed through your AI nonsense can opt in. Leave the rest of us out of it.

1. I plan to add a self hosted parsing backend for those who do not want their data going through external services. Been putting it off for months while working on other features. When enough users ask for it I will prioritize it. No users have asked yet, and writers do use lyricwinter.

Feeding someone else's work or someone else's voice through a glorified text to speech app is not and will never be "creative self expression". It's theft. Blocking people from stealing isn't censorship.
