So if you weren't aware a recently finished wip (SHOCKER!!!) with questionable writing ( I couldn't get past chapter 1 because the second hand embarrassment was just too strong) just got a terrible review in r/hostedgames a couple days ago screenshots provided below 👇

And now almost a week later the Author updates the game just to place this disclaimer:

As a proper gossip girl I checked the username and it's an empty account leading me to believe that either the OP is lying or the author deleted all his comments.

Let the weigh in begin.

Reddit is broken rn like profiles stop showing up and ****

Apparently some people were sending threats and whatever to the author

Reddit is so broken it rate limited my old acc that i use to lurk on subs for gossip
Old.reddit stopped working too 😩 new one takes years to load

They probably used ai but I can totally see it as the Author is a kid and aint too good at writing. Dont get me started on that guilt trip of a response

Anyway i'm reading megabіtch energy from that Lux person. They said they dont want to pile on but man the comments they made after really dont sell that idea.

got curious so I checked their username through google

gotta say... there's a loooottttaaa ai stuff they post


Also a fun fact, the person accusing them of using AI and sort of starting this whole thing off. We'll they have an AI profile pic. kinda weird to call people out for that if you use it yourself

This response from the mod doesn't even make sense for the situation since it's not published through them at all. Like what is the company supposed to do about it other than locking the thread or using their mods, as per usual, to silence discussion when it takes a direction they don't like? lol
There were a few users before that asking about AI usage I didn't bother looking for OP's post in the forum thread

Yeah not that part about the AI discussion in the mod post but the part about contacting the HG submissions email to report it as possible AI is what doesn't make sense. Since it's not a game published through HG xD.

It's probably been submitted or at least HG probably has first dibs on all wips posted in cog demos that's why the mod said that

I'll talk about my two cents with this I've been reading in the future sense the start when I saw the first reddit post even used to get emails in my Gmail of all the updates the author in the old thread they used to get very disappointed from the lack of engagement towards their updates I always read em I just don't like commenting on the forums and for valid reasons I dislike alot of the people there in general they got so upset so much so that they stopped posting updates completely it was multiple comments daily trying to get people to engage but you just can't force people to read if you don't make your writing that much depth in the first place.

Ai is a touchy subject especially in the art/writer community I read the entire book of in the future the writing is lackluster if anything so I could potentially see the rumors being somewhat true this person did rush update after update when they were posting updates quite quickly too a year ago maybe I just didn't see it because the book was so short and I wanted to see improvement either way that person is kinda an *** for using ai and subjecting the author to those assumptions even when they used it themselves.

My advice for that author would be to improve the sequel if the writing does not then I'm gonna raise an eyebrow even wayhaven Changes after each book so if it doesn't we'll have an answer but the very abrasive way they are reacting to the allegations and ignoring multiple people when they asked for weeks maybe doesn't look good at all I do agree.

It's somewhat a shame too I remember when this author got so much support when they first posted the wip on reddit but it's just not engaging enough for people even for me the local red flag 🚩 enjoyer you just can't force everybody to like your writing unfortunately I used to like in the future at the start I could see the potential to get better but it just didn't even when I finished the book I felt meh for decorum and for the rest of the cast who we never got to see until the end or at all.

Whether it was used or not this book is mid in my opinion I would rather this person improve as an author if they can I read through the entire thing not once really felt anything for the Mc or for any of the other characters also the nsfw one scene was completely mid as well if you can't write that then you shouldn't put it in at all it was literally just a licking and kissing scene aka wtf territory level of boring I'm being hard on this wip but the material just doesn't seem like it was worked on that much with the understanding of what they were writing.

It's not surprising choices put an ai warning though they don't want potential authors slandering at all which I do understand but I wonder how they actually handle things if the accused are guilty one day I don't think I've seen any other ai writing besides from the shared completed wips/books on here before.

That's most of what I have to say on this if anybody wants to add their two cents you can have at it lmao.

Tbh, I don't see someone generating a pic for their avatar and someone writing a whole book for others to read and pretending it's their writing as anywhere near comparable offenses. To play with ai a bit and to push out a whole product which is of horrible quality is like not the same.
But I also disagree with that Tumblr blog a bit: god forbid we use a language model to help handle language (translation and/or spell check). Next thing you'll know using word's spell checker and a dictionary will be a grave offense.

This was such a slog I finished it out of spite. I wouldn't be surprised if it was AI since it seems to have no cohesive story at all and each scene is more randomised than the last. Also, I tried setting a character to nonbinary and one scene they are explicitly referred to as a woman, then the next scene as a man, ???
