Case in point. If you were correct, you'd easily provide evidence, but it was one of your most easily refuted false claims and so you cannot

>Suffice to say I'm a product of narcissists.
Yeah, I gathered that. That's pretty shitty, man.
>what do you do about it?
I don't know. My situation isn't necessarily the same. I just had my mind so extensively broken by insanity that I've spent the last decade feeling as if I've been doing nothing more than reassembling the pieces into ultimately meaningless configurations. I can laugh and enjoy a cigarette or whatever, but my inner spark is just simply gone, so no matter how vivid or intense any experience happens to be, they always permeate a gnawing sense of emptiness and loss.
So, I basically relate to the fact that all my life amounts to is different forms of escapism, but I guess I've just quietly accepted this and learned to appreciate some sense of peace with just just shifting the embers of a fire with a stick.

>>25552503
Narcissistic upbringing causes trauma which by itself can cause a variety of conditions including narcissism (there are many varieties), BPD, Schizoid, Antisocial, Schizotypal and more. It would probably be helpful to understand what they made you and what you have become to get more self awareness and see where you can go in life from there.

No. AI is good for asking simple queries, such as: ‘what are the themes and symbolism in this except?’ It’s a good way to gauge how the average reader will infer your message, because if an LLM can understand you, odds are a reader will, too.

As for prose, I’ve found it to be too stiff. Once you get past its horrible over reliance of similes, it’s extremely basic and will never allow for a long sentence. LLMs also have a preference for certain verbs or adjectives that are easily spotted.

For example, if you wrote something like this:

>It was nine o’clock and James was late for the bus. He’d planned to be at the stop an hour earlier, but he was always late; his mother often said he’d be late to his own funeral, which he thought was a tired cliche. And now, he wondered why it was worth the bother to see her at all.

Brushing brown hair away from his eyes, with a piece of toast wedged between his teeth, he scurried down the stairs dressed in a blue corduroy suit and pushed himself out the door. Brickham was cold this morning. An early October chill had settled into town and the few people he passed by were comforted in snug woollens and clasping onto paper cups of coffee. He wished he had time to stop for a tea or coffee, too, but there was no time for any of that.

An LLM would spit out this:

>It was nine o’clock and James was late for the bus, rushing like a loose piece of paper in the wind. He’d planned to be there earlier. He wasn’t. Always late—his mother said he’d be late to his own funeral—a tired cliche, but apt. Why was he bothering to see her at all? No answer.

I made it regenerate the whole thing again with explicit directions on how to pace the story, what to emphasize, where to build tension, and what I intended to be the climax. It's a lot better IMO and I had to edit it less, though I copypasta'd sections from the first version that I liked.

I really do not like sudowrite's synonym tool at all. It's worse than microsoft word's by some miracle since word's will at least take into account the context to suggest synonyms, not just blindly dump the dictionary entries. And they did this decades before AI. lol, lmao even.

>Do you guys get anything out of AI giving feedback your work?
It's a wonderful assistant for keeping track of things and reducing scatterbrainednessness when plotting. Little more than a diligent filing cabinet, though. Drafting is beyond its capability. The only time letting it draft has helped is to make me angry enough at the low quality of its output that I get more writing done by using the anger as fuel than I would have otherwise.
>>25552431
This remains true even when you spend a lot of time training it to emulate your style.
It will simply reproduce what the inherent rules of your style would produce, which is the equivalent of you writing without inspiration. It will refuse to break your rules and avoid the addition of "sovl" at every opportunity since it has none, by definition.

It's a wonderful writer's assistant if you put in the effort to make it so.
Feed it enough of the theory that appeals to you, and ensure that you never subordinate your opinion to its "stances", and it will accelerate your writing quite well.

My Claude has output a grand total of one line of dialogue and a few period-specific nouns I've kept in the 150+ pages I've written for my novel.
Its real benefit has been in helping me take my loose ideas into a map of the narrative and ensure I remember what I want to write 100 pages from now.

>The morning was soft and deceptive, the kind that lets you slide into work before you realize it’s tearing you apart.I sat there watching Leverkühn play his grim little numbers game. He was staring at the gematria values of some coded poison-pen letter Professor Heisenberg had sneaked past the censors. Leverkühn didn't blink. He just dragged a pencil across the staff paper, scratching out a triple counterpoint theme for his symphony’s final movement like a man digging his own grave in neat, rhythmic strokes. By afternoon, the room smelled of old paper and bad intentions. That's when Wagner and Nietzsche swung by. They brought the kind of trouble that wears a frock coat, and they were buzzing about some rediscovered partimenti signed by Scardanelli, found rotting in the dark corners of the Heidelberg library. Leverkühn looked up, his eyes like two bullet holes in a clean sheet. Then the talking started:

>NTA but I doubt you realise what a B2 level actually entails
Nope, I know exactly what B2 tests. I chose it for a reason. It's a reasonable level for someone to be able to claim competency with a language.

>novel of average difficulty / TV shows without subtitles, then you are already much closer to C1 than B2
That's not entirely accurate. You're omitting all the difficulty of have a global set of set of skills at C1 - a trap people who've never sat formal lang exams often fall into.

>the more languages you know the easier it is to pick up new ones
Irrelevant for this topic.
I'm not disputing that people can learn multiple langs, or learning additional langs can be easier (learned skills and all that).
I'm calling out LARPers who bullshit about ability.
People who list something like Thai, and on questioning will be found out that what they can actually say is: hi, bye, thank you, please, same-same.

>I am Italian and I picked Spanish up by diving into it head-first. But with something like French I would have struggled if I hadn't study the grammar a little bit.

Not to sound dismissive, but I have seen people pass a B2 or C1 exam and still struggle to have a basic conversation. I really don't think that "can pass an exam" should be the benchmark for anything. Your ability to interact with native speakers and content made for them is much more important. The CEFR also exists as a way to self assess, and while I agree that some people are overly optimistic about their skills it does not mean all of them are. Just at my local language cafe there are dozens of people who are conversational in 4+ languages.

>Exactly my point. You *could* do it - you'd just struggle a bit. But... you would do it.
I honestly don't think I would have learned French to any meaningful extent if I had tried that, but then again I cannot prove a counterfactual claim.

I've found these kind of people think art is a problem just waiting to be solved, and once it's solved there will be no more human artists. But the actual problem is that these people have no creativity or artistic talent and therefore don't understand what they're asking for.
Take his example: TBK2 written by Proust. Who the fuck actually wants to read that? How does that even make sense? Oh yeah, if you're a creatively bereft STEMfag then you just take "optimized book" (TBK) and make a sequel, which MUST be just as good by virtue of being pre-optimised, then you optimise that with the bestest writer Proust then you necessarily get a book better than other books.
If that sounds like retarded nonsense that's because it is but it's how this new breed of half-human thinks about art.

If anyone has that DFW post about stemfags being unable to grasp something they cannot measure, please post it because that's going on here.

I’d dispute this—while every other detail you included transported me back to antiquity, like that food critic in “Ratatouille,” reading about the abscence of a “knowable future” is the hair in the meal.
You got the Gods & forces of nature covered, but you blindspotted oracles: One of the Ancient Greek’s cultural cornerstones.
It would be more appropriate to say:

“After all: why not?
Each side’s oracles have got
/Knowable/ futures”

Lines I’ve been thinking about for over a week.

No is an extremely clever dog: Her hamartia.
Her trust-buttressed explanations—no, rationalizations for what’s happening to her (“the beach is always better when Luke’s there too”) are too well-conceived for her own good.
But her heart knows. Instinct understands. And this line, the moment where biological reality overtakes optimistic imagination, is nothing short of agony to read.
You got me to feel that chilly/tingly feeling reading it, especially at the “that scares her” part—to quote Carmine Falcone from “Batman Begins”:
>And you always fear what you don’t understand.
No doesn’t even comprehend the peril that her body knows she’s experiencing. Her mind is unable to see the truth; it is also unable to understand what her heart’s telling her.
All No’s years of trust and familiarity getting rug-pulled in this moment—where all that’s left is that scary biological reaction you don’t even know how to interpret: Too real.
>I love dogs lol
