Jason Rimbaud Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago 5 minutes ago, Lee Wilson said: How the fuck did you break an ankle? It was a cold night, raining, so hard a steady stream of water poured along the rim of my umbrella soaking my back. I was no further than twenty yards from the Muni tunnel that leads beneath San Francisco. My local Gus Supermarket might charge premium prices for food, but they cheap out on the paper bags. Because before I made it across the street, the rain had soaked through and the bottom of the bag gave out. At that very moment, I heard the high pitch squeal that usually accompanies a sighting of the Giant Ants. In m haste to gather my precious grocery items, one of the cans rolled along the Muni track directly towards that awful opening. I scrambled along the wet track to grab the can of Buttered Beets for my homemade blueberry Soda, I slipped in some Ant droppings. The can of beets went flying and my feet flew up and I land hard on my right hip. For a moment, all the air was driven from my body and I couldn't feel anything. Then the pain flooded in and I stared up into the oversized pinchers of Barnacle Lips. He looked at the discarded can of beets and then back up at me. I wiped the rain from my eyes and he screamed out in his Ant language. It was a challenge. Well, I wasn't going to let this oversized ceptipod get the better of me, not when I still had breath in my body. I jumped to my feet and started for the can. Cans and stalks of celery in my wake as all three of my grocery bags were soaked, but I didn't care, I wasn't going to lose this can of buttered beets to a fucking ant. Just as my hand reached the can, I slipped on a used needle that was stuffed inside an equally soiled condom and my ankle turned. I went down, and I instantly knew it was broken. Barnacle Lips lunged gleefully as I writhed in pain. he snatched the can of buttered beets and scurried back into the tunnels. And that's how I broke m ankle. 3 Quote

Good job, that sounded like a believable story at first. And then it got even more believable because, of course, giant ants are serious business. 1 1 Quote

I shouldn't have talked about it when I can't go into the reasons I thought without giving away which story I was talking about. The reason I came here was I remembered Jason having commented on the same topic in this thread, but I wish I hadn't said it anywhere. Maybe its the drugs I'm on, but we should start calling out authors we think are using AI. . 1 1 Quote

Jason Rimbaud Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago On 4/28/2026 at 9:19 AM, Davide said: I was too hasty in calling something AI, I'm not sure anymore. But I'm also fine with using AI in small amounts for a story, as long as the vast majority of the writing is done by a human. Or a dog, if you can get one to write a story. I would say your first feeling is correct. AI writing is so predictable. For the last three days, I've been laid up trying to focus on reading and taking huge amounts of painkillers. The beast in me that hadn't had any drugs for over fifteen years now came roaring to life and I took all the pills in three days as opposed to eight. Hadn't realized that beast was still alive. Luckily the husband won't refill the prescription, but damn a part of me really wanted that feeling to continue. Sorry, I digress, I've had nothing to do but read and I've seen a bunch of AI stories and its laughable. I went back to read the Wheel of Time again. But I wasn't high enough to go through that slog. 3 Quote

I'm back to thinking my instinct was probably right, but that instinct is that some parts of the chapters in question were AI and other parts were human written. So at least it's less bad, I guess. 1 2 Quote
