#Literary experiment with #AI: find author, source, given precis or description of #story. (#fiction)

Precis: Man is standing on rural railway platform / station waiting for train. Train will stop if person is waiting for it, not otherwise. Across from the station there is a broad meadow and a road in the distance. As he waits he sees a carriage coming along the road. There is a woman in the carriage. The author then gives a vigorous description of an oncoming locomotive: size, speed, noise, smoke. The train does not stop, implying that the man is not really there or is a ghost.

This story actually exists and has been published. It is possible that it is not in English.

I tried this on ChatGPT and got two manifestly wrong answers. Anything else I should try?

AI-generated #fiction is flooding #literary magazines — but not fooling anyone

At times, the submitter hasn’t even bothered to replace “[name]” with their own.

Using #ChatGPT, The Verge was able to replicate some elements of submissions Williams has seen. A prompt to write a short #sciencefiction #story — plus copy-and-pasted information from #Asimov’s submission guidelines — produced stories with dozens of similar titles in succession, like “The Last Echo,” “The Last Message,” “The Last Day of Autumn,” and “The Last Voyager.”

Now imagine what potential we are giving away and how much #energy we are wasting because #capitalism sets the wrong incentives.

In the #future, one side will generate masses of #spam via #AI in the hope of making a quick buck, and the other side will try to fend this off with AI. We can automate the entire #internet with all the trolls, fact checkers and #fake #news. The result will probably be much worse than #Facebook and #Twitter already are.

"Culturocide" by Vasily Prozorov
#Culturocide - a #documentary

Description from Vasily Prozorov from UKRLeaks
#Literary #mission

My documentary "Culturocide" (https://t.me/ukr_leaks_eng/943) for the most part is based on the study of enemy literature in schools in the liberated territories of the LPR. Through books, Kiev introduced Russophobic attitudes to the younger generation (and adults too), distorting history and denigrating the big neighbor in the most "vivid" colors.

The process of restoring the liberated territories implies the return of cultural justice, the eradication of the openly fascist education system and, in general, the protection of the culture of the Russian population, which was subjected to the most severe repression by the Kiev regime.

The Union of Writers of the LPR performs (https://litrossia.ru/item/vojna-ne-otmenit-rabotu/) with honor and enthusiasm this difficult mission in the Luhansk region. In 2022, the Union brought about 20 thousand books to the liberated territories. Among them there is a part of the circulation of my book "The Hot summer of Mariupol". In the new year, 2023, the LPR Writers' Union plans to transfer about 14 thousand #books to #libraries in January alone, and this is an excellent indicator.

I would like to wish all the employees of the literary mission great luck in this extremely important work

Ellipsis Zine statement

This bird has flown

When I set up Ellipsis over five years ago, it started life on Twitter. It was my go-to place to publish content and socialise digitally. Since then I’ve made thousands of digital friends and several real-life friends through Twitter. Ellipsis wouldn’t be where it is now without Twitter.

It has never been perfect but it was a great space to be in, especially the literary community, but unfortunately, billionaire owners like to run things diffrently and the re-instating of toxic accounts, banning journalists, etc. is not a place I want to be.

So, for now, it’s time to log out. I’m not deactivating the Ellipsis account, it’s on hold until things settle down. And hopefully they will. I’ll still be publishing three new flashes each week but, for the foreseeable future, I won’t be logging in to Twitter; there’ll be no updates, posts or interactions there. If you need to get in touch, you can drop me an email or interact via Ellipsis’ other social networks. All new content and posts will be linked there: Mastadon, Facebook or Instagram.

See you on the other side.

Steve
